About Millie
I have completed my BA in English Literature at the University of York, as well as the Shakespeare Studies MA at King's College London and The Globe. As such, I specialise in Early Modern literature, Shakespeare, drama and poetry.
I have experience working at a Saturday school for primary school students sitting the 11+ entrance exams, so I know how to get the best out of them.
I build good rapport with GCSE students. I am very familiar with the texts they are studying, whether it be An Inspector Calls, poetry, Shakespeare, or nineteenth century texts.
I promise to elevate students to their maximum potential, whether that be scoring highly in the 11+, achieving the highest grades at GCSE, or simply improving their English reading and writing skills.
Many of my students have achieved Grade 9s at GCSE. All show improvement in their comprehension and writing skills after just a few months.

For 11+ students I will work on comprehension, creative writing and verbal reasoning. For Year 7s and 8s I like to develop those comprehension skills for both narrative texts and poetry, and hone students' descriptive, narrative and persuasive writing skills. For GCSE students I will tailor essay questions based on their exam board and mark their essays, offering personalised advice on how to achieve the highest grade. I can work with a range of abilities, including students with special educational needs/ disabilities (such as dyslexia, autism or ADHD). I also have experience teaching students who do not speak English at home.

Really excited to share this review for Millie as the expertise in assisting my child through GCSE English was exceptional. My child has moderate learning difficulties and has struggled to get the required pass mark in English. Before signing Millie up we spoke in detail about requirements, the need for a strategy to gain marks and a lack of confidence in this subject. I must admit to giving Millie a bit of a grilling as it was the last attempt for my child and Millie handled it so professionally, answered all my questions and understood the assignment ! Millie was very structured in the lesson plans, identified weaknesses very quickly, inspired confidence (the most important bit for us) and provided many tips and techniques. Plenty of past paper practice which is essential. Every week I received a thorough progress report which kept me in the loop perfectly. I was able to trust Millie implicitly with the lessons and I am confident that my child was able to give the exams their best effort and with good confidence, which is ultimately all we wanted. If my child passes, then hats off to Millie but I could not have asked for more support with this. Well worth the fee and peace of mind ! Thank you Millie.
I have had Millie as my tutor for the past two years for the English Language IGCSE and without her I’m not sure I would’ve been able to participate. I basically started with zero knowledge of how the exam works and what’s in it and she helped go over everything. I went into the exam feeling confident in my abilities and Millie left nothing unfinished. I am so grateful, as she taught me everything!! I fully recommend her to anyone out there needing an English tutor, she is amazing.
Millie is a really committed, engaging and knowledgeable English tutor. She gave me a lot of help and advice and was very kind and patient. She also helped me with my confidence and was very encouraging! I would absolutely recommend Millie - because of her brilliant and skilful support I got a 9 in GCSE English Lit and I couldn’t be happier!
Millie really helped me get through my English Literature course. She helped me understand Romeo and Juliet so much better, and showed me how to delve deeper into how the characters are really feeling. All the lessons were tailor-made and always fun, she really went the extra mile. I would definitely recommend millie as a tutor, especially for Shakespeare studies.
