Fintan D.

Hello! I'm Fintan.

I'm a friendly, encouraging and creative English Tutor with a professional background in Theatre and Education. I've recently completed my PGCE in Drama from Goldsmiths, University of London. 

I have five years + experience tutoring English Language/Literature from KS2 to A Level, both in person and online. I also have four years + experience working in schools as a learning support assistant.

I have a proven track record of helping my students supersede their exam expectations at 11+, 13+, GCSE and A Level.

Aside from academic expectations, I endeavour to help learners discover their voice and realise their imaginative potential through creative writing and deep engagement with text.

As someone who writes plays and poems every day, I have an inborn appreciation for literature which I love to share with my students.

Whatever the needs of the student, I have a keen sense of the flexibility, attunement and patience needed in order to help my learners progress. I often go beyond what is required in order to ensure I get the best out of my students.

I am skilled at providing support with:

- Exam technique and structuring your answers.

- Understanding and analysing texts on a deeper level.

- Consistency with SPAG.

- Language, structure and form.

- How to write compellingly and make your work stand out!
