David

I am a highly experienced English tutor who can help you enjoy your studies and achieve strong results. I tailor my approach according to your individual needs, and can help with everthing from how to close read books, poetry or plays, to writing essays and preparing for exams (which I've had to do lots of studying my Master's degree in American Literature)

I also have lots of experience in helping people to set and achieve bigger goals, like choosing a career, or deciding which subject to study in higher education. I offer supportive person-centred sessions that will encourage you to explore your motivations behind a particular choice, and even sessions that help you to figure out what choices you want to make.

I am currently launching in person GCSE Removed in Tunbridge Wells in January 2025 - please reach out for further details!

Tutoring Experience

My background encompasses extensive one-on-one tutoring as well as group instruction. This includes:

• Designing and executing a 30-week 'Writing and Talking' programme for the National Saturday Club.
• Serving as the Lead Tutor for three years on Goldsmiths Progression Scheme's 'Explore Word' programme.
• Acting as a Supervisory Coach on the National Collaborative Outreach Programme, where I led a team of coaches in delivering a year-long coaching program for care-experienced students.
• Conducting tutoring workshops in Greenwich as part of the Borough's attainment-raising initiative, designed to bridge the gap between strong GCSE results in English and inconsistent performance at A Level.

Tutoring Approach

Individually tailored and impactful English lessons designed for learners of all ages and abilities. With over a decade of experience, I offer a supportive and dynamic approach, helping students discover the profound meaning within the world of words. Whether you're delving into Shakespeare or dissecting Moby Dick, I'm here to guide you towards your desired outcome. Book your first session today to embark on this journey.
