About Emily
Hello, I’m Emily — a dedicated English tutor with over 11 years of experience and a PhD in English Literature. I specialise in supporting GCSE and A-Level students with English Language and Literature, helping them improve their confidence, sharpen their skills, and achieve the grades they’re aiming for. I’ve taught students from a wide range of backgrounds and ability levels, and I understand how to adapt my approach to suit each individual — whether they’re striving for a top grade or rebuilding confidence after a setback. I’ve also taught on undergraduate courses at university level, so I bring both academic depth and practical teaching experience to every session. I work with all major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, CIE) and can help with: - Essay structure and argument development - Close reading and literary analysis - Exam preparation and revision strategies - Coursework planning and feedback - Grammar, clarity, and written expression I believe in creating a supportive, encouraging space where students feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow. My lessons are structured, focused, and always tailored to each student’s specific needs and goals. Please feel free to get in touch if you’d like to discuss how I can support you or your child — I’m always happy to arrange a free 15-minute call.

My lessons are calm, focused, and designed to help students truly understand what examiners are looking for — while also building confidence and clarity in their own writing. With over 11 years of experience and a PhD in English Literature, I specialise in helping GCSE and A-Level students improve their essay technique, close reading, argument structure, and exam performance. I work with all major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, CIE) and tailor lessons to each student’s specific syllabus, goals, and areas of difficulty. I break complex ideas down into manageable steps, so students can build a strong foundation in literary analysis and essay writing — whether they’re aiming for a top grade or trying to get back on track. My approach is supportive but high-achieving: I create a space where students feel safe to make mistakes, ask questions, and develop their skills at a pace that works for them. Every lesson is tailored to the individual — and wherever possible, I bring in topics, texts, or examples that connect with their interests to make the material more engaging and memorable.
