Tutoring Approach:

I passionately believe in giving students the tools they need to unlock their full potential. I specialise in teaching grades 5-8 theory, GCSE and A-level Composition and Analysis, and general Composition. Each lesson is tailored to the particular needs of the pupil and is designed to stimulate and inspire, whilst covering all areas of technical instruction. My students generally achieve the highest grades (Distinction / A*) Please get in touch for more details.
