Personal Description:

**Slots available for online tuition**

I have a PhD from the University of Cambridge, where I also hold my Masters. I have a First class degree in English Literature from Durham (where I also studied Creative Writing), teach undergraduates at the University of Cambridge and have been tutoring since 2017 with an average student satisfaction rating of 10/10.

Teaching Experience:

I was an academic supervisor at the University of Cambridge, where I taught undergraduates in Scandinavian History and Old English Literature.

I have been tutoring Creative Writing summer schools and 1:1 courses since 2019, designing course materials and personalised project goals. Students consistently give positive feedback regarding a friendly and welcoming attitude, communication skills and attention to detail.

I currently tutor:
- Foundational Skills (plot, setting, character etc.)
- How to write a novel
- Creative Careers
- Poetry
- Short stories
- Genre-specific writing
- Project feedback/proofreading
- Productivity (time management, anti-procrastination etc.)
- Bespoke courses (for example, you need help with a specific project or would like to begin a project)

If you are unsure whether the subject you would like tuition for is represented above, please ask.

Teaching Approach:

I believe in a flexible, personalised approach for every student. I take the techniques and knowledge of my time supervising and lecturing at the University of Cambridge to provide a rigorous framework, but match it with compassion and encouragement. My students grow not only in writing skill but in life-long confidence.

Testimonials:

"Thank you for all the classes, workshops and mentoring sessions! You are a great teacher, always patient and helping us to better understand the subject." - Beatriz

"I learned many practical, exclusive takeaways during the course. They've helped to improve my writing a lot, almost instantly." - Winter

"I found it really helpful how she explained everything to me in steps, it helped me feel less overwhelmed and made everything much clearer and easier to understand. While editing my work and offering me criticism she has also helped me learn how I can do the same with my own work, so I don't always have to rely on someone else to do it." - Anoushka
