I have a track record of helping GCSE, A-Level and IB pupils achieve top marks on their essays by fine-tuning their structure, helping them develop and become confident with their originality, and enhancing the cogency of their arguments.
I am also adept at helping students write eloquent and original personal statements which have lead to firm offers at Russell Group universities including Oxbridge.

In the first lesson, I briefly spend time gauging what my student needs help with and what they see as their strengths and weaknesses. I’ll use this together with any material provided to determine the best methods to improve their work and/or revision style, and use the rest of the lesson to apply these methods to their current projects.
Essays: I make essay technique easily understandable, using the uneven U-Method to help students build a strong argumentative thread through the essay. I also guide students through close readings of texts, be they theory, prose fiction, or poetry, and help them develop persuasive interpretations that they can communicate clearly.
I believe that everyone learns differently, and it is my responsibility as a tutor to patiently and attentively understand the tutee's learning style and build on that so I can tailor my lessons to their needs. I make sure that my sessions are engaging, age-appropriate, and that they put the student at ease.

Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
Teeva has helped me understand how to approach poetic analysis, and to write compelling essays on poetry. I appreciate how she encourages my original perspectives and helps me ground them in the texts, and to present my arguments in nuanced, persuasive, and interesting ways.
Teeva l helped my daughter, who was struggling with English Literature, get A*s in her GSCE and A-Level assessments. She also helped her write a personal statement that was praised by multiple teachers and landed her firm offers at Russel Group universities. We have stuck with Teeva over the last few years because she is an extremely capable, patient, friendly, and well-versed tutor. I highly recommend her to anyone.
Teeva helped me write model essays in preparation for my IB English Language and Literature exams, which lead to me achieving a final grade of 7 in the topic (equates to an A*). I couldn’t be more satisfied with her lessons and teaching style; she gauged my weaknesses when it came to essay-writing early on and helped me address them using and easily-graspable yet challenging methods. She is patient and receptive, and makes sure you fully understand a concept before moving on to the next part of the lesson plan. Thank you Teeva!
Teeva taught my daughter A-Level English Language and Literature and we’re really glad we found her.
She is communicative, reliable, flexible and, clearly well-versed in her subject. She teaches in a way that brings the subject to life - whether it’s a lesson about close-reading Shakespeare or essay-writing skills.
My daughter developed a strong bond with Teeva and was able to raise her grades in English by two marks.See more recommendations
