About Elliot
I am an English student currently studying in my third year at the University of Cambridge. As someone from a state-school background, I am passionate about access and engaging students with literature, when this previously might have felt difficult. I enjoy how broad literature can be, as well as how understanding the social, cultural and historical contexts of a text can illuminate it further.
As a tutor, I hope to help make studying English a less formulaic task and instead open students eyes to how open this subject can be, as well as preparing them with mark schemes to be familiar with how the exam will be formatted so they can have confidence in their work that it will be rewarded.

With my sessions, I aim to work closely with my students, figuring out with them how they think the time will be spent most effectively. For many of my students, this is often in revising key themes or going over exam technique. It is often the case that the students have great ideas and minds, they just are not familiar with the scheme of assessment and how to approach through a question.
In structuring my lessons, often using a topic they are familiar with, we can go through past exam papers, examiner reports and mark schemes to see how we can effectively make sure we are hitting marks, so that students can feel better prepared to put their ideas to paper and know they will be rewarded for it.
Additionally, for areas like unseen extracts, I enjoy using resources like No Fear Shakespeare and different youtube adaptations of the scenes to help make Shakespeare more approachable, so that it seems less daunting to students. This way, rather than panicking about language being unfamiliar, students can feel more confident that they can approach these texts.
With all my students, I really want to tailor it to their style of learning and how they can specifically improve, as I think this is important in helping them get the most out of these lessons.
I have been tutoring for over a year now with 174 total lessons. My lessons are usually one hour long but this is flexible. I tutor English Language at GCSE level and English Literature at GCSE and A Level. If there is anything you think I could help with I am more than open for any questions or requests.

Elliot stepped in at the last minute to design a syllabus and teach two groups of 16-17s at our summer school. These are comments from his students:
"I loved how my tutor managed to connect with our group and in this way, besides having fun, we also did some actual work."
"My tutor was great, very easy to learn from but still felt pushed to learn for myself"
"Elliot taught us creative writing through the breakdown and digestion of different parts of text and techniques used by notable authors."See more recommendations
