About Katie
I graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a high first in English Literature, and am currently studying Creative Writing at a master's level, for which I have an academic scholarship. I believe that everyone can be a passionate reader and a great writer and I am very keen to help students improve their close reading/ essay writing skills in preparation for GSCE/ A Level essay and exam prep. I also have a lot of experience in editing/ preparing personal statements and can help students in their application to university.

I believe that one of the most important aspects of education is enthusiasm.
After establishing your competence level with literary analysis through a variety of close reading tasks, we will work through your assigned texts together, drawing out key themes, devices and motifs. I will contextualise your reading with sociological and cultural context, grounding your understanding of the text in wider literary history.
Together, we will figure out what you find interesting about the text and what you are struggling with. After working through any comprehension issues, we'll plan essays, basing your argument on the things about the text that you find most interesting; passionate essays get the best marks. I will also set practice essays which I will then mark, in order to make sure that you are on the right track.

From university to professional settings, I have depended on Katie to critique and edit my work for a plethora of intended audiences and criteria. She always approached each piece, with its core intention, individually and brought out what I couldn't myself. Without her help, I would be at a loss for words.
I've known Katie on a personal and professional level for over three years, and I could not recommend someone more highly as an English tutor. She has offered detailed and dedicated feedback for every piece I have sent to her over the years (15+) on a wide variety of topics, from biological essays to graduate school applications and beyond. Katie is incredible at offering positive feedback on areas you excel in and constructive criticism with insightful and thoughtful suggestions. I have no doubt Katie will spend all the time needed to understand your needs, style, and way of learning to offer the best experience-- she's my #1 go-to tutor whenever I need help even to this day.
Katie's professionalism in her proofreading and copyediting work helped me to achieve consistent firsts at university. She suggested helpful line edits while also asking probing questions that enabled me to think more critically about the material I was covering and access higher marks over the course on my undergraduate career. Katie is diligent and extremely patient! I cannot recommend her services enough!!
