Lively discussion and debate were a core part of my young life with academic parents and a full home library. I set my sights on furthering my love of reading at university and, after I attained three A*s at A Level (English, Pscyhology, History), I went on to graduate from the University of Oxford with a BA in English Language and Literature (Double First). I decided to continue my studies at Oxford and subsequently achieved a Master of Studies (MSt) degree in English 1550-1770 (Distinction).

I began tutoring as a university student, which was my initiation into the world of online education. Since, I have had a variety of interesting professional roles such as working as a Programme Manager (Head of Department) at an education technology company, where I coordinated online course development and LMS implementation for prestigious schools, higher education institutions, and corporate clients worldwide. I have also worked as a EMEA Head of Delivery, Learning Technologist, Account Manager, and Tutor Manager in the education sector over the last decade. This work has greatly complemented my work as a tutor due to my professional experience creating online content which is underpinned by the latest learning methodologies.

In 2025, I completed a PGCert in Psychology of Education at UCL's prestigious Institute of Education. I attained a Distinction in this challenging MSc course, which has further enhanced my understanding of learning and development.

I am now working at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, in their Executive Education department. I work on the B2B side - developing innovative residential and online programmes for FTSE 100 corporations. I continue to tutor part-time, as my love for teaching is evergreen!

“Anna is the most hard working and kind tutor I have worked with, allowing me to turn around my performance in IB SL English Literature through her insightful advice. Throughout lower 6th, I was really struggling in my English classes and lacked any sort of literary understanding. Together with Anna, I practiced different types of literary analysis and essay writing, amongst other things. Her detailed and well-structured feedback allowed me to clearly identify my areas requiring improvement and work on them. Only through Anna’s help was I able to move from consistently receiving 5s in my exams to ultimately receiving a 7 as my final grade.”

“I have Anna to thank for a massive increase in my ELAT result from 42 (70%) to 52 (86%) in a few months, which was a major factor in getting an interview to read English Language and Literature at the University of Oxford. I believe that without her I would have plateaued. The intensity of the teaching experience, the highly detailed feedback, the warmth and constant encouragement channelled me into becoming a much more analytical, enquiring student, all of which have given me confidence as I start my degree at the University of Oxford. Thank you so much Anna.”

Parent

“Anna's constant guidance and support has helped me develop strong writing and analytical skills, improving my ability to critically evaluate English literature. When it came to essays, Anna's help allowed me to write with more flow and structure alongside a concrete theme to better express my ideas above and beyond the criteria standards of my coursework. Thanks to Anna's tutoring, my grade rose from a mediocre 5 to a strong 7 at IB Higher Level English and I couldn't be more grateful”

Parent

“Anna is an exceptionally effective and intuitive tutor who has worked with our son in support of his successful application to study English Literature at Cambridge. Anna took the time to get to know our son and this helped her appreciate how best to support his learning needs. Anna supported him through his ELAT and in the run up to his interview and at all times was really in tune with what he needed, whether that was to be challenged, simply encouraged or persuaded to look at a text or idea from a different angle.”

I enjoy taking a stimulating, discussion-based approach to my tutoring sessions. I find that students are not always given the opportunity to think laterally and express themselves individually in a school environment which can, without attuned teaching, impede progress in subjects which require subjective thought.

I always adapt and individualise my approach for each student and their specific learning style, providing more or less structure as required. I have a wealth of resources such as learning prompts, sample essays, past papers, and writing scaffolds to support learning inside and outside of our sessions.

In my leisure time, I enjoy spending time in the great British weather (!) with my husband, two children, and two dogs. When having some 'me' time, I am an avid powerlifter and I also enjoy writing poetry as a way to process my experiences of life, motherhood, and world events.
