Daniel

I am a British-trained and educated teacher who has a BA in English Studies, a Master's degree in Modern Literature from UCL, and a PGCE from the Institute of Education. As an anchorite of my subject, I gain great reward from sharing it with students, and seeing their enthusiasm and ability reach fruition in public exams.

I have tutored many 11-plus students successfully and have had students achieve results within the top ten candidates nationally at GCSE and A Level on multiple occasions.

Tutoring Experience

With over twenty-five years of experience teaching in London and overseas schools at both secondary and tertiary level, I offer considerable, proven and adaptable expertise. Having been Head of English at one of London's top independent schools, I am well-versed in what student of all abilities need to demonstrate and where they could improve in order to attain the highest grades.

Tutoring Approach

Drawing on a range of analytical techniques, I equip students with a cogent ability to score marks and develop their written response under examination conditions. Studying Literature should be engaging, relevant and, above all, progressive, By following a lucid essay-plan, students soon become capable and confident writers. In recent years, providing engaging and closely-focused sessions online has begun to replace in-person tuition, so I have refined my resources to better facilitate remote learning. I am familiar with many platforms which enable real-time interaction so that students benefit from my extensive resources and an immediate response to their work.
