Hi, my name is Sally! I tutor English from primary to A-Level. My sessions are fun, engaging and motivating, and I always focus on the progress you make from session to session. I help tackle tricky topics with real-life examples that are sure to come flooding back in your exam! I've worked with all ages in education, from 4 years old to adults, so no matter your age, ability or level, I'll make sure you're comfortable, confident and capable as we go through sessions together. I teach: Primary English, Secondary English, GCSE Language & Literature, English as a Second Language. I have taught students with: ASD, dyslexia, SEND. I am a qualified teacher (PGCE) with English specialism. I also have a BA (Hons) in Media Studies and an MA in Digital Media & Communications. My experience studying the media has given me an analytical mind, so I'm always digging deep into source material, asking why, and encouraging my learners to do the same. I'm a keen performer, so I have a Diploma in Musical Theatre Performance too!

I am a recent graduate in Economics and Politics from the University of Manchester. My work history includes hospitality, pizza delivery and baby sitting as well as a summer internship as a campaign aid and assistant to Sir Ed Davey. I’ve decided to remain in Manchester after my graduation to work and save up enough money to go travelling next summer. I found it really rewarding to build meaningful connections with kids I’ve looked after during my time babysitting. Sports are my main passion as I play multiple times. Alongside my final year of studies I ran a departmental football team for my university and currently play three times a week. I also play pick-up basketball quite regularly and have recently started playing padel once a week (would highly recommend, it’s very fun). Outside of sports, I am a self-proclaimed foodie. I enjoy cooking complex and elaborate meals especially when it’s for other people. I’m well travelled having visited a plethora of countries in all the continents bar South America and Antarctica. In my spare time I also enjoy reading, going on walks in the peak district and playing video games with my friends. On top of my interest in politics, I am very interested in history. the history of warfare. Over the past 3 years, when not at university I have lived in South London with my parents, little brother and our labrador Bella. I look forward to meeting all my future students and sharing my enthusiasm for all my chosen subjects. I started my primary school education in Stockwell before moving to Streatham Hill in year 1 where I was placed at Hitherfield. During year 5 and 6 I was fortunate enough to be tutorted myself in 11+ entrance exams for multiple grammar schools across london. Despite being offered multiple scholarships I opted to go to Dunraven Secondary School where I obtained my GCSE’s getting one 9, three 7’s including maths and english, five 6’s and one 5. During my time I also learnt how to play the saxophone achieving a grade 5 and also completed an ECDL course. I then was granted a place at Dunraven Sixth Form to complete my A-levels. I studied Economics, Business and Politics achieving A,A,B respectively. These results helped facilitate my place to study (BA) Economics and Politics at the University of Manchester where I studied for three years. In July 2024 after much hard work, I graduated with a 2nd class honours completing my academic journey thus far. I would describe my specialist areas as being economics and politics however I am well versed in business as well having my own personal interests in the subject having studied it as an A level. I also feel well adept to teach 11+ entrance exams. Having been on the other end of it I understand all the frustrations and feelings students will have towards their revision at a time where it may be difficult to see the bigger picture. I’m sure I can use this understanding to help my students maintain determination and grit.
