About Sophie
Hi there! I'm Sophie, a Master's student in Education at Durham University. I'm delighted at the opportunity to be a part of your child's GCSE English journey, and to share in the excitement of their academic development and exam achievements.
I remember the pressure of my own GCSEs, where I achieved a Grade 9 in both English Literature and English Language, and carried my passion for Literature through to A Level. Now, after four years at university, I hope to pass on all that I have learned about studying, revising, and mentoring KS3 and KS4 students. I have experience teaching students across a range of subjects and ages, from 5 to 16, though my tutoring passion lies with GCSE English and mastering that crucial exam technique — something schools often do not have time to cover in depth.
My sessions are about far more than simply 'knowledge-dumping'. I know how important positive mentoring relationships can be in academia, so I hope to be more than a passive tutor. I aim to get to know what motivates your child and how their studies can be made relevant to their own unique interests and ambitions beyond the exams.
Please do get in touch if you have any questions or would like to arrange a taster session. I look forward to hearing from you!
