About Daniella

I am a full-time English tutor, holding a first-class honours degree from the University of Edinburgh (ranked 3rd in the UK for English Literature and 6th globally, QS World University Rankings 2026).

I have tutored GCSE to A-level students for 8 years and specialise in AQA, Edexcel IGCSE and Cambridge exam boards across the U.K., Europe, UAE, China, the Philippines and Singapore.

I bring an empathetic, yet goal-driven approach to my teaching that works particularly well for STEM-leaning students and those who struggle with structuring their ideas. My philosophy is similar to Montessori-style teaching, in that I tailor the lessons to the students inherent interests.

I do what I do because I see literature as a vital tool to the development of critical-thinking, self-aware, well-rounded young adults.

I hope our sessions will be a valuable use of your child’s time, far beyond any classroom.

Areas covered (non-exhaustive): Shakespeare's Macbeth, A Streetcar Named Desire, A Christmas Carol, Pride & Prejudice, Jekyll & Hyde, An Inspector Calls, Of Mice & Men, Conflict and Belonging poetry, Unseen Poetry, Creative Writing, Transactional Writing and Directed Writing.

FREE CONSULTATION

During our free consultation, I will ask for a recent piece of work and provide :

1) An overview of the student's strengths and weaknesses
2) Tailored recommendations for future improvement
3) A targeted 3-step-plan of action

APPROACH

My approach is highly tailored, taking into consideration the student’s interests, natural strengths and other GCSE subjects to deliver my lessons. I work with the ‘bigger picture’ in mind, encouraging students to connect their present study of English with their goals outside the classroom. I have found this helps with providing motivation, particularly during stressful periods such as mocks and exam season.

LESSON STRUCTURE

I do lessons remotely and set weekly homework via Google Classroom to support your child's learning outside lesson time. If this sounds like an investment that you would be interested in, please do get in touch.

  • When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?

    Around the age of 8, after discovering Roald Dahl's fairytales. 📖 I started tutoring as a side-hustle in 2022, alongside my graduate day job in Tech. What began as a way to reconnect with literature quickly became a full-time project, and I had to make a choice between remaining in corporate or pursuing my passion. ⚖️ Much to my parents' dismay, I chose the latter, mainly for the flexibility of travelling and the ability to experiment with entrepreneurship, which has led me to start a second business in e-commerce. ✈️
  • Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less)

    Poetry is my bread and butter, for sure. 🥪 I'm also big on teaching students why works are written. I.e: for what purpose they exist (other than to torture GCSE and A Level students of course.) Likes :

    * Of Mice and Men 🧑🏼‍🌾🐭
    * Shakespeare tragedies 🎭
    * 19th Century novels 🪶
    * Creative writing 💭
    *A QA & Edexcel IGCSE exam boards ✍️
  • What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

    Subject Expertise & Emotional Intelligence.
  • What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?

    Some books are boring. Simple as. 😴 But the biggest issue is when this boredom creates a laziness or lack of discipline. (I think picking up poor habits affect students far beyond English, or the classroom). (Chat GPT is great and all, but it cannot sit the exam for you… at least not yet…) 🤖
  • Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

    I love to dance - especially to salsa and reggaeton music. 💃🏻
  • What makes you a Superprof (besides answering these interview questions :-P) ?

    That's up for you to decide! (But I'd say my knowledge of Gen Z and Alpha lingo is pretty solid) 🤟
