Daisy-May

Daisy-May has worked as a tutor and educational advisor for over a decade. She believes that her success stems not only from deep subject knowledge, but from the close relationships she builds with her students and her genuine enjoyment of helping them grow in confidence, curiosity and academic ambition. Few things give her greater satisfaction than seeing a student discover that they are capable of more than they imagined.

An insatiable curiosity has led Daisy-May to specialise across a broad range of Humanities disciplines, including Politics, English Literature and Language, Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy, Creative Writing, Theatre Studies, and Film & Media. Far from seeing these as separate subjects, she views them as different ways of exploring the same enduring questions about human nature, society, power, identity and meaning. This interdisciplinary perspective enriches her teaching, enabling her to help students make insightful connections, think more critically, and write with greater depth and originality.

Her own academic journey reflects this love of learning. Alongside achieving outstanding examination results—including full marks in several A Level papers—she read Literature, Film and Theatre at the University of Manchester before undertaking postgraduate study and professional training across a range of disciplines. These include Screenwriting at Goldsmiths, Directing at RADA, a Level 3 qualification in Counselling and Psychotherapy with LC&CTA, EFL Teaching at Kingston University, and training with the Mindfulness in Schools Project. She continues to study alongside her professional work, believing that the best teachers remain lifelong learners.

Alongside her teaching, Daisy-May has a longstanding interest in the relationship between storytelling, psychology, philosophy and mindfulness. She is particularly fascinated by how the stories we inherit—and the ones we tell ourselves—shape the way we understand both ourselves and the world.

Her training in counselling and mindfulness has also given her a strong understanding of how students learn, develop their attention, build confidence and overcome obstacles to learning. This informs her teaching in subtle but important ways, helping her to create lessons that are intellectually ambitious whilst remaining attentive to each student's individual needs, motivation and stage of development.

Above all, Daisy hopes to inspire in her students not simply excellent grades, but a lifelong love of ideas. She believes that the best education equips students not only to succeed in examinations, but to think critically, remain curious, and continue learning long after they leave the classroom.

When she isn't tutoring, Daisy-May is usually reading several books at once, writing essays she may or may not one day publish, practising yoga, or trying to persuade her family to accompany her on another literary pilgrimage. Much of her free time is spent outdoors with her young family, and she is always on the lookout for a beautiful walk, an independent bookshop or a good cup of coffee.
