About Rhys
Hello! My name is Rhys Higgins, and I am an English scholar and writer with an MA in Creative Writing and English Literature from Durham University (UK) and a BA (First-Class Honors) from the University of Westminster (UK). My academic background spans medieval and romantic literature, literary theory, composition, and creative writing, and I am passionate about making English engaging and accessible for students of all ages. I bring both academic rigor and creativity to my lessons, helping students not only master reading and writing skills but also develop confidence in their own voices. I have years of experience mentoring students in writing, running workshops, and providing individualized support for everything from grade school literacy to college-level essays and literature courses. Whether I’m guiding a child through their first chapter book, preparing a high school student for exams, or coaching a university student on thesis writing, my approach is patient, structured, and tailored to each learner’s needs. I combine clear instruction with encouragement and practical techniques to help students feel capable, motivated, and ready to succeed. As a professional tutor, I take pride in creating a supportive and welcoming environment where every student—regardless of age or level—can thrive. My goal is to inspire a lifelong love of reading and writing while providing the tools necessary for academic success.

As a tutor, my approach is rooted in clarity, curiosity, and confidence-building. I create a welcoming, engaging learning space where students—whether in grade school or at university—feel encouraged to ask questions, take risks, and develop their skills. I adapt lessons to each student’s age, level, and goals, balancing structure with creativity to foster both understanding and enjoyment of English.
Teaching Method and Techniques
I use a student-centered, adaptive approach designed to meet learners where they are. For younger students, I incorporate interactive reading, vocabulary games, and guided writing exercises to make learning fun and memorable. For older students, I focus on structured essay writing, close reading, and analytical thinking.
My techniques include:
- Interactive storytelling and reading aloud (for children)
- Socratic questioning to build critical thinking
- Essay scaffolding and revision strategies
- Creative writing prompts to spark imagination
- Practical grammar and vocabulary exercises
A Typical Lesson Plan
- Warm-Up (5 mins): Quick activity or check-in (reading passage, vocabulary game, or writing prompt).
- Core Concept (15–20 mins): Introduce or review a skill (e.g., sentence structure, thesis writing, text analysis).
- Guided Practice (20 mins): Apply the concept through reading comprehension, writing exercises, or discussion.
- Feedback (10 mins): Offer constructive tips and positive reinforcement.
- Wrap-Up (5 mins): Summarize learning and set a small goal for next time.
What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor
- Versatility Across Ages: Comfortable teaching grade school basics (reading, grammar) through advanced university-level English.
- Academic Expertise: MA in Creative Writing and English Literature (Durham University, UK) and BA (First-Class Honours).
- Creative + Analytical Balance: As both a scholar and writer, I bring a mix of rigor and imagination to lessons.
- Supportive Mentorship: I emphasize encouragement and tailored guidance to help every learner grow in confidence.
Who the Lessons Are For
- Grade school children learning reading, grammar, and writing skills
- High school students preparing for A-levels, IB, AP English, or standard exams
- University/college students in English, Creative Writing, or Humanities
- International students refining academic or conversational English
- Adult learners improving writing skills or exploring literature/creative writing
I specialize in reading comprehension, essay writing, literary analysis, creative writing, and foundational English skills for all learners.
