Olivia
Private Tutor in London
My Summary
About Me
I'm a writer and private tutor living in London. I have 5+ years of tutoring experience in English and creative writing. My students have won places at schools like Eton, Emanuel, and Dulwich, and universities including Oxford. I graduated with a first-class degree in Law from the University of Oxford in 2023 (winning faculty prizes for best dissertation in my cohort, and top performance in Moral and Political Philosophy). Alongside tutoring I write fiction and book reviews for publications including Spectator World and the Literary Review.
My Experience
I have tutored English to children of all ages in different capacities for 5+ years: creative writing, reading comprehension, and essay-writing; focusing on general improvement or improving exam performance (11+, 13+, GCSE, and Scottish National 5 and Higher in particular); as a second language and to native speakers. I'm happy to offer tuition online or in-person in London.
Through my work over the past few years my engagement with literature has been multi-faceted, and this is something I love passing on to my students. I always try to go far beyond exam syllabuses, using texts from all sorts of places, encouraging students to speak up, develop strong opinions, and see daily life as a source of inspiration (both for their own writing, and for unpicking the writing of others, which I approach as a creative act in its own right).
My Qualifications
University of Oxford BA in Law - 2023 (first class, with faculty prizes for best dissertation and best performance in Moral and Political Philosophy).
