About Huw

Hello! My name is Huw, and all things literary and artistic are my passion. Sharing that passion with others is my pleasure. Novels, poems, essays, articles, speeches, treatises, songs, laws, adverts, letters of complaint - if you can write it, we can study it, even if we're both stuck at home.
I completed my Master's in English and Culture Studies at UCL in 2019, graduating with a high Distinction and making it onto the Dean's List of the best students in the Arts and Humanities Faculty. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in English from Bristol University, where I won a host of awards for my performance (including the Savage Prize for best final results). As well as tutoring and reviewing students from primary to Master's level, I've worked as Poetry and Prose Editor for an arts magazine, as an academic editor and researcher, and as a small-press publisher of silly poems and funny pictures. I want nothing more than to go into teaching and creative writing, with a strong focus on social and environmental justice, and I see tutoring as a responsibility and a delight. No age or level is off limits, and no goal too big or small!
My approach is, in short, calm. Being comfortable is key, and from a starting point of trust and informality I try to make thinking and writing fun, easy, and exploratory.
For younger students, I meet those crucial Key Stage 1-3 goals with pin-sharp attention to grammar, spelling, and tone, and fun lesson plans. For GCSE and A-Level students I firmly believe in cultivating open, intellectual discussion to develop quick thinking, public speaking and debate skills, and most importantly, our ability to listen to others and evaluate. At the same time, I love close analysis and am always ready to go down a rabbit-hole! For higher-level students, I'm a safe pair of hands and a well-trained eye, a confident interlocutor who can check your work and your thinking, or suggest new avenues of research with a professional knowledge of contemporary literature and philosophy (especially relating to ecology / animal studies, queer theory, literary theory, and writing about other art forms).
I'm also happy and qualified to tutor up to A-Level Geography and Art, and passed Grade 8 with an excellent Distinction on Classical Guitar. So whether you're looking for someone to guide you through the intricacies of volcano formation, advanced guitar techniques, or want to really get to grips with Andy Warhol, I can help there too.
