I was very fortunate to have been taught in Edinburgh by fantastic professors and want to share this knowledge and inspiration with others. I have taught pupils since 2016 and over the past 8 years have delivered over 5,000 classes, helping them earn a place at the universities of their choice. You can read their stories and reviews at the bottom of this page.

I can assist pupils preparing for their GCSEs, A-levels (AQA, CIE, OCR, Edexcel and EDUQAS exam boards) and IELTS examinations. 📚

Provided that students follow all the instructions, they will see marked improvement after our first 10 lessons together. The lesson structure consists of:

◾ 15' of a powerpoint presentation on the topic in focus: I present separate presentations on each topic and question of the exam paper.

◾ Extended task: a skills-focused or pastpaper exercise, followed by detailed oral and written feedback.

◾ Summary quiz at the end of the class.

For my pupils, I also offer the following:

◾ Personalised lesson timetable: To make sure we are strategic in our approach and prioritise all the key skills

◾ No extra charge for homework marking: This is free. I do not ask pupils to book a Marking Time session

◾ Free resources: After each class I send you the presentations and bonus documents for your revision

◾ Monthly progression report: To help you organise your studies and to show you how far you have progressed

◾ Vocabulary booklets: To get you to improve your use of academic phraseology

◾ Advanced critics' articles: (For literature pupils) I provide access to literary criticism to boost your analytical skills faster

Yet, all the above are most effective when personalised to the needs of each pupil. Hence, I encourage you to let me know of your interests, preferences and concerns by booking a free meeting with me first.
