◾ Classics MA graduate from the University of Edinburgh, passionate about the arts and the humanities with a Masters from King's College London.
◾ Nominee for Best Results in the 2020 MyTutor Awards I was very fortunate to have been taught in Edinburgh by fantastic professors and want to share this knowledge and inspiration with others. I have taught pupils since 2016 and over the past 6 years have delivered over 4,000 classes, seeing my pupils' hard work earn them a place at the universities of their choice.
Academic awards & achievements
◾ Margaret Stobie Keith Prize in Classics (June 2019, The University of Edinburgh): for work of distinction in Ancient Philosophy or Ancient Religion which was awarded 90% score in the academic coursework section;

◾ Undergraduate Awards 2018: Highly Commended Award in the Literature Category (August 2018, UA): for my paper 'Love, Lies and Writing to Delight: Narrative reliability in the fictional world of the Second Sophistic'.
The lesson structure consists of:
◾ 15' of a powerpoint presentation on the topic in focus: I present separate presentations on each topic and question of the exam paper.
◾ Extended task: a skills-focused exercise, followed by detailed oral and written feedback.
◾ Summary quiz at the end of the class.
For my pupils, I also offer the following:
◾ Personalised lesson timetable: To make sure we are strategic in our approach and prioritise all the key skills
◾ No extra charge for homework marking: This is free. I do not ask pupils to book a Marking Time session
◾ Free resources: After each class I send you the presentations and bonus documents for your revision
◾ Monthly progression report: To help you organise your studies and to show you how far you have progressed Yet, all the above are most effective when personalised to the needs of each pupil. Hence, I encourage you to let me know of your interests, preferences and concerns by booking a free meeting with me first.
