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 was one of the best tutors I've had! She always had a great passion for every aspect of her teaching and was always extensively prepared with lots of great resources for each lesson. Not only did Anna guide me in subject-based tasks but she also assisted me with writing university applications. She provided me with some excellent tips for exam technique which allowed me to perform to the best of my ability in both my final IB examinations and the mock trials. She helped me achieve my best and strive to think outside the box!”
“Anna is an incredible tutor who not only taught my son the fundamentals of poetic techniques, but also kindled his interest in English literature. She masters crucial exam techniques and helped my son achieve an excellent mark in IB English, a subject he struggled with”
“Anna was exceptionally helpful in helping me carry out my application to Oxford University. Not only did she assist greatly in the drafting process of my personal statement, offering extensive and insightful advice on how it could be improved; she also provided invaluable support in my preparation for sitting the ELAT admissions test. If the confidence and ability she inspired in me are anything to go by I am certain she will be a wonderful tutor to others”
“Anna was an amazing tutor! She was always fully prepared for the lesson with a wide range of materials. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have done so well for my IOC, other coursework and ultimately my final exam!”
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.
