I began tutoring in 2020 while studying for my MSt at the University of Oxford, initially working online with students preparing for 11+ and entrance exams, as well as those studying for their GCSEs. Since then, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of students at many points in their academic career, including those learning English as a second language and those with SEND requirements.
Throughout my tutoring career, I have found immense satisfaction in helping students achieve their goals, whether it’s improving their grades, developing their academic skills, or building confidence in their abilities. While I specialise in English, I have covered a wide-range of essay-based subjects - even helping one student with writing long-form answers for their Economics A Level exam paper.

Born and raised in South London, I developed an early love for literature and the arts, which has since guided both my academic and professional journey. I attended Streatham and Clapham High School, where I completed A levels in English, History, and Theatre Studies. I went on to study English at the University of Southampton, graduating with a First-Class degree. During my studies for my undergraduate I cultivated a passion for storytelling and analysis, which led me to pursue an MSt in Creative Writing at Oxford University, where I achieved a distinction.

It was during my master’s degree that I began tutoring, initially working with students online before expanding to in-person teaching. Since then, I have been lucky enough to work with a wide range of students and have embraced a dual career as both a writer and tutor. My teaching experience spans working with students of all ages and levels, focusing on fostering creativity, clarity, and confidence in their writing.

“Louise is a wonderful tutor, and my daughter always enjoys their lessons together. She has an enthusiastic and energetic approach, and during their time together my daughter’s confidence has grown immeasurably. As we navigated school entrance exams, Louise has been incredibly supportive, adapting her lessons as our requirements changed, and always finding extra time for us. We are very thankful for her and all her help.”

“We couldn't be more grateful for the support that Louise has provided for our son. She is a responsible and organised tutor, who is able to explain tricky concepts in a way that makes them easy to understand. She is cheerful and relaxed, and working with her has had a big impact on my son’s work. So far she has helped him improve his grades from a 3 to a 7!”

Parent

“Louise was an exceptional English tutor who greatly helped my teenage son with his GCSE English Language. She was always punctual, well-prepared, and brought a wealth of teaching materials to each session. Louise adapted every lesson to suit my son’s needs, effectively engaging him and making a subject he finds boring as interesting as possible. We are both very grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her!”

Creating a friendly and welcoming learning environment is central to my teaching approach, and I always work to ensure that my students feel comfortable throughout the learning process. I encourage students to see mistakes as opportunities for growth, fostering confidence and a genuine sense of achievement as they improve. By encouraging my students to share what they find most challenging or valuable, I give them an active role in their learning which helps ensure our lessons are both relevant and effective.

I’m currently working as a freelance tutor as my full-time job. I enjoy it so much that I’d love to continue doing this for as long as possible.

Outside of tutoring I run writing workshops, and take dance classes multiple times a week at the royal academy of dance. I’m also learning French with my own tutor!
