English with an Oxbridge-Approved Tutor — incl. for Academic Skills, Dissertations, Papers, Applications, Entrance Examinations & More
I offer individually tailored lessons in English, drawing on my extensive experience researching and teaching the subject at the University of Cambridge — where I am about to conclude a PhD and where I have, for the past four years, also provided instruction and dissertation supervision to undergraduate students (across a wide variety of modules, including both more general theoretical and practical courses within literary, linguistic and cultural studies as well as specialist topics within the period '1830-Present) and assessed applicant entrance examinations (such as the 'Cambridge English Language Aptitude Test').
I am especially capable of not only teaching within the subject (or for the purposes of written and/or oral examinations within it), but in doing so while imparting extensive, transferable academic skills such as reading comprehension, synthesis, argumentation, writing, editing, presentation, and approaching extended pieces of coursework and independent research (such as EPQs, EEs, IAs, BA dissertations, and MA/MLitt/MPhil dissertations — all across numerous disciplines within the arts and humanities, with essential academic skills being, after all, highly transferable!).

About Me
I specialised in English at the University of Cambridge, where I undertook both a PhD and an MPhil ('with Distinction'). Prior, I obtained a broader background across comparative, especially Germanic and Slavonic, literatures, linguistics, languages, and related histories and philosophies (which I continue to draw on in my current research and teaching), completing a BA Hons at Utrecht University ('summa cum laude', equivalent to 'Double Class I with Distinction') and concluding my earlier school education in Ljubljana, Slovenia (with results equivalent to '6A*s' at A-Level and '14A*s' at GCSE/IGCSE level), after having lived across a number of European regions. Throughout, I have also been funded through a selection of competitive academic scholarships (including awards from the Cambridge Trust, Le Bas Fund, Utrecht Fund, and numerous others).I consequently teach English Literature, Linguistics and Language (up to MA level, including also BA, A-Level, IB, GCSE/IGCSE, and comparable educational stages) as well as related humanities subjects (up to BA level), including Philosophy, History, Art History, and World Literatures, Linguistics and Languages (at the moment especially Central and Eastern European). At the same time, I also offer help with applications (including schools, university and scholarship applications) and examination and interview preparation (including Oxbridge).
For the past couple of years (2020–), I have provided instruction and dissertation supervision to students at the University of Cambridge (including at the Faculty of English, at which I am based, and the Faculty of Mediaeval and Modern Languages, which my research extends into). At the same time, and earlier (2018–), I have also offered tuition through a number of online platforms, agencies and educational initiatives (such as The Sutton Trust and The Friends of Youth). As a result, I have extensive experience teaching up to university level (up to MA level within my areas of specialism, which include English literature and language of the period 1830–Present, along with critical history, theory and analysis), as well as a particular ability to not only teach within a specific subject (or for written and/or oral examinations within it), but to impart extensive, transferable academic skills such as reading comprehension, synthesis, argumentation, writing, editing, presentation, and approaching extended pieces of coursework and independent research (such as EPQs, EEs, IAs, BA dissertations and MA/MLitt/MPhil dissertations — all across numerous disciplines within the arts and humanities, with essential academic skills being, after all, highly transferable).
At the same time, I have assessed applicant entrance examinations at Cambridge (including as part of the CELAT and CMLAT), and offered aid with developing the skills and experience necessary for competitive degree applications, scholarship applications, and eventual entrance examinations and interviews, both privately and through a number of educational initiatives (including several Oxbridge access and support schemes for disadvantaged youth). I was fortunate to have had the entirety of my studies (including PhD, MPhil, BA Hons, and numerous exchanges and internships) funded through several competitive academic scholarships (including full and/or parallel partial awards from The Cambridge Trust, Le Bas Fund, Utrecht Fund, Zois Fund, Soroptimist International and numerous others, without whose aid I would not have been able to pursue my studies), so have a good understanding of what it takes to be offered places and funding at world-ranked research and teaching institutions — and have been enthusiastic to help others achieve the same results I did. Beyond that, I also have experience working with students with particular challenges (as I myself had had) due to their socioeconomic circumstances, disruptions in education, disabilities, or other difficulties (and plenty of experience ensuring and navigating accessible resources, too!).
