About Phoebe

Hi! I'm Phoebe, an undergraduate at the University of Oxford studying English Language and Literature. I have always been passionate about literature, and I enjoy teaching and helping others to explore and appreciate literary works in close detail.

I have a great understanding of the GCSE and A-Level curriculum, and am familiar with the AQA and Edexcel exam boards. I can also look at and offer advice on Oxbridge personal statements when needed.

My teaching approach is calm, friendly, and encouraging - I aim to inspire confidence and encourage independent thinking. I learn what skills my students want to develop and tailor my sessions around these, choosing specific exercises, questions, and examples that will demonstrate effective ways to build a great exam answer. I love to support my students in their skill development and create enjoyable lessons that leave them feeling confident and proud. Having a genuine passion for the reading and writing of literature, I aim to share this with my students and really engage them in the texts we look at. I am punctual, professional, and friendly, and value a safe and enjoyable learning environment where each student can develop key skills.

My lessons are all 1:1 and will focus on specific skills my student wishes to improve upon. These lessons tend to be 1 hour in duration, although I can adapt to 90 minute sessions if that better suits.

In my sessions, I use real exam questions, effective examples, and engaging exercises to demonstrate and teach useful ways to answer questions. I then encourage students to try these for themselves. I tailor sessions to the individual student, breaking down the English curriculum into specific skills, and selecting engaging activities based on these skills. Often centring on a specific literary text, I use extracts from literature and some of my own examples to showcase methods and techniques that a student can use to write and develop their own answers. I then encourage students to use these techniques to create their own answers to questions, and I give constructive feedback on these answers. Through these exercises, I hope to help students develop a variety of literary, skills in close reading, comprehension, essay writing, etc. I work well with information about the student's specific needs given before the lesson, and aim to tailor each session to suit these needs.

Having achieved grade 9 in GCSE English Language and GCSE English Literature, and A* in A-Level English Literature, as well as having worked in a tutoring company and volunteering teaching reading skills to primary school children, I have a wide array of tips and tricks to help students improve in their confidence, independence, learning and revision as they approach exams and develop key literary skills.
