About Eilis
My name is Eilis Smyth, and I recently completed my PhD in Shakespeare Studies – passing with no corrections – at King’s College London. I previously completed an MA in Shakespeare Studies at The Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham, and a BA in English and Philosophy at The University of Notre Dame. I currently work full time as a private tutor. I have a passion for the humanities, and love helping my students explore and develop their own love for reading and writing!

As a tutor I meet your student where they are and work with them towards reaching their full potential and top marks. It’s important to me that the student feels comfortable, engaged, and able to speak to me about any and all issues they might be having with the subject. My aim is always both to help develop a student’s mastery of a topic and to instil in the student the confidence necessary to find and embrace their own voice within an academic environment. My tuition is fluid and I am constantly adapting my lesson plans to best suit the educational needs and interests of the student.
I have worked as a tutor in a variety of subjects for the past ten years. I have experience tutoring in a one-to-one setting, as well as in a classroom or group context. I have taught students of all age ranges – from primary through to university level. My specialty is English literature – and specifically Shakespeare! – in which I teach students how to closely read and analyse texts, how to structure essays effectively, and how to find their own critical voice no matter what their age or level. I have also taught students in History, Philosophy, ESL, primary level maths, and have coached students through the university interview and application process. I worked as an Americorps National Teaching Fellow in a sixth-grade English classroom, so have received pedagogical training for younger students, and have taught in the English department at King’s College London, so am equipped to set up older students for success in GCSE/National 5 through to A-Level/Advanced Higher English.
