Hey, I’m Gabs and I've been tutoring English Literature and Drama for GCSE, A-Level and Degree students for 10 years. Exam boards include AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Pearson. My main specialism is teaching Shakespeare and poetry.

Whether you want to learn about a novel, a play, how to write a great essay or perform an outstanding monologue—we’ll explore all this and more in our lessons together.

One of the things I love about lesson time is watching students’ eyes light up when they grasp something new. It’s such a meaningful profession. What better way to spend my time than helping students learn about the most incredible texts that the world has ever known? I hope my classes stay with students throughout their lives.

I’ve taught students from their first year of high school through to college and university—it’s been a huge pleasure to watch them grow.

Tutoring Experience

Literature and Drama are my main subjects. I’ve taught privately in the UK for 10 years and I have a full DBS check with a 100% pass rate.

In the last 5 years, I’ve worked as a Copywriter for two award-winning advertising firms, Ogilvy and McCann. So, not only can I help students get great grades, but I can help prep them for the professional workplace. While working in advertising, I really missed teaching full-time, so I decided to quit my job and make this my main focus.

Education-wise, I attended Hillcrest Grammar School, Marple Sixth Form College and Salford University.

In 2015, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Literature & Creative Writing, First Class Honours.

In 2016, I was awarded The Vice Chancellor's Scholarship to complete a Master’s Degree in Creative Writing and I graduated with a Merit.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching style is friendly, fun and professional aimed at High School students, College and beyond. Lessons are tailored to you and we’ll touch on:
- Creative writing
- Close readings
- Analysing prose texts
- Analysing poetry
- Shakespeare
- Essay structuring, spelling, and grammar
- Preparing presentations
- Revising for exams
- Personal assignments or home-work
- Working on monologues
- Mastering duologues
- Character development

Our lessons take place over for 60 minutes at a rate of £50. I accept PayPal and bank transfers.

I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If 24 hours notice is not given, the lesson fee is still paid in full.
