Hello,
With over 20 years of experience in esteemed schools across England, Spain, and Hong Kong, I have found that the most significant impact I can make on a student's learning journey is through personalised, one-to-one tutoring. These tailored online sessions allow me to focus precisely on your child's needs, fostering both academic growth and confidence.
​
My educational background includes a degree in English Literature from Keele University, followed by English teacher training at Oxford University. As a committed life-long learner, I have also earned a distinction for my MA in Literature and Theatre, a TEFL certification, and even a ski instructor qualification—though the latter is admittedly less relevant here.
​
Throughout my career teaching English and Drama, I have amassed extensive examining experience with GCSE, A Level, and IB syllabi across various academic boards. The exam insights and expertise I have gained are invaluable, and I am dedicated to sharing this knowledge with my students.
Sophie is an Oxford-educated English and Drama teacher and examiner with extensive UK and international experience. Passionate and driven, she leverages her expertise to create inspiring educational experiences for her online students.

Debbie - UK
Sophie is an excellent tutor who really listens to and engages with my son and his learning style. Each session is individual and reflects what he is interested in as well as making sure they cover the skills of the language papers. He enjoys the sessions and is feeling more confident in his understanding and ability to transfer the skills to his other areas of study. I will be highly recommending Sophie to anyone who is looking to boost their GCSE skills.

Justine - South Korea
Sophie has tutored both of my children and as a result both their skill and confidence have shown great improvement, I can not recommend her highly enough. My son had good ideas but was not able to organize or develop them in a clear way. Working with Sophie he was able to approach getting his thoughts on paper in a clear and coherent form and, crucially, in a way that satisfied the mark scheme. As a result he is approaching his second year of IB DP feeling far more confident about his English course and is looking forward to continuing to work with Sophie.
My daughter has also thrived with Sophie’s tutoring. She studies hard so had plenty to write about, but she needed very clear guidance on how to apply this knowledge to answering the demands of the question under the time constraints of IGCSE exam conditions. Sophie ensured she identified the most essential themes and was able to develop her in-depth analysis whilst also remaining concise.
Sophie’s extensive experience with the IB DP and IGCSE make her very well placed to prepare any child for these exams.
