I am an experienced English educator with over 15 years of teaching experience, specialising in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. I teach IB English Language and Literature and English Literature at both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL), supporting students with Paper 1, Paper 2, the Individual Oral (IO), and HL Essay preparation. My approach combines close textual analysis with clear exam strategies, helping students develop critical thinking, analytical writing, and confidence in responding to a wide range of literary and non-literary texts. I tailor lessons to individual learning needs, enabling students to achieve their academic goals while fostering a genuine appreciation for literature and language.

My tutoring style is supportive, student-centred and focused on building confidence alongside academic progress. I use clear explanations, structured scaffolding and targeted questioning to help students develop their English skills and become more independent learners. I adapt my teaching to each student’s individual needs, identifying gaps in knowledge and breaking challenging skills into manageable steps while encouraging students to aim for their full potential.
