• When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?

  I tutor English language & literature and Law. I initially developed an interest into English during my GCSE's. I felt so passionate about the subject that I went on to take it at A-level, English literature to be specific. English appealed to me the most, having the ability to analyse a given text to a perceptive level whilst learning about the time periods that set the foundation of most texts.

• Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).

  For literature my expertise is An Inspector Calls, Macbeth and Jekyll & Hyde. Teaching the assessment objectives of these plays looking at: detailed analysis, context, character profiles, planning and writing essays. For both language and literature I cater to the AQA exam board and for Law OCR.

• Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?

  My GCSE English teacher has so much resilience in me and taught me to keep going, that is what I want to replicate as a tutor.

• What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

  There are various qualities I believe make a good tutor. These include: patience, reliability, supportive, reassuring, adaptability, enthusiasm and expertise.

• Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

  I would always be the first one in intervention sessions, eager to better my performance in my exams.

• What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?

  I used to struggle to get detailed analysis out of a quote, after studying and tutoring many students this has become the main skill I teach. Learning how to reach high level, flair analysis is the foundation for a good essay.

• Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

  I have a passion for tutoring subjects because I find it rewarding to help students reach their full potential and make them realise what they want to achieve is possible.

• What makes you a Superprof (besides answering these interview questions :-P) ?

  I am keen to excel every student I work with. I am punctual and there to reassure any concerns/questions a student might have. I will push students to their challenges in a supportive way, ensuring they understand the content before we move on and put that into practice.
