  • History

    "If we do not remember the past we are doomed to repeat it." This phrase has been repeated by a multitude famous people in the past. What you may not know is that the original phrase was, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." by George Santayana, a famous philosopher. History is not simply facts, it is real-life stories. As your tutor I would help you find the wonder and knowledge that flows through history. True understanding comes from a desire to know more and that can be sparked by a tutor with the same love of learning.

  • Vocabulary

    Words are the tool we use to express ourselves. If our toolbox is limited we are at a loss. Expanding one's vocabulary is an important step into becoming an English boffin. If you don't know what boffin means then start tutoring with me.

  • Writing

    Lloyd Alexander once said that, “Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it.” Writing should not be seen as a task that must be completed but should be taught as a beautiful tool in which humans have expressed themselves and communicated for hundreds of years. I want to share this view on writing with all my students and rid of their fear of creative writing.
