Top Rated A-Level Literature Tutors

Hi there! My name is Clara and I currently study Philosophy at St Andrews University. My life-long passion for reading has led to me becoming an English tutor (as well as teaching other humanities subjects!) I believe that the benefits of tutoring go beyond earning high exam results. While this is certainly the goal, looking beyond exams by inspiring a love for learning is one of my priorities. This principle is carried throughout my tutoring sessions; my main goal being finding a way for each student to learn to enjoy subjects that they may be initially wary about. I achieved a grade 9 in both English Literature and English Language at GCSE, as well as an A* grade in English Literature at A-Level. My love of reading has always motivated my studies and, thus, now my career! I have developed my essay writing skills in both examination and coursework based subjects. I aim to find out about my students strengths and weaknesses, offering praise and encouragement when necessary, in order to create a comfortable learning environment. I have found that this enables students to become more receptive to challenges that will aid their educational development. Statistics for 2023/2024: 100% of my Alevel students received a B grade or above. 100% of my Alevel students secured their first choice university place. 100% of my GCSE students received a 5 or above. 80% of my students in this exam cohort secured a grade two levels or more above their predicted grades. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Thank you for considering my profile!

I am an experienced tutor of teaching English online for the last four years. I teach individually and in groups, both children and adults. I also have two years as a Leader of the Peer Assisted Learning Scheme (PALS) in English Literature at the University of Edinburgh. I am an alumna of the University of Edinburgh, having completed the English Language and Literature degree with a first in 2020. I also completed a master's course in Shakespeare Studies at King's College London with distinction. I currently work at King's College London and I am also a freelance writer.

While one-on-one tutoring cannot fully replace normal education as the primary way of learning, it is always a valuable aid for the student's academic success. I offer highly personalised tutoring in the subjects of English Literature, English Language, German language and other extracurricular skills such as: academic writing, bringing courses for university, personal statement writing and creative writing. My lessons are an open-minded mix of exam preparation techniques, lessons tailored individually to the student on the content of their course, and lessons focused on the discussion of feedback of the student's own work. In addition, I also offer bridging courses for students considering pursuing English Literature, Language, or Creative Writing at University. I am currently in the 3rd year of a German and English Literature undergraduate programme at the University of Edinburgh. You can normally catch me tutoring from the beautiful and needlessly rainy Scottish capital. In 2023/24 I am on a year-long academic exchange at the Freie Universität in Berlin

I graduated with a First from Oxford in 2021 for my undergraduate Spanish BA, and have just finished my MA in Religion at Kings College London for which I was awarded a scholarship. I have tutored Spanish, EFL , English Literature, Religious studies and Philosophy both online and in person for over 5 years, including working at a school as a language teaching assistant. I took 11 GCSES and did the IB diploma, so I have a wide range of other subjects I enjoy tutoring, including literature, philosophy and history. I have learning disabilities - namely ADHD and dyspraxia - and have built up study skills that accommodate specific learning disorders, and am very happy to share these with any students who might need particular accommodations.
