About Nina
Hello! I am an English Literature undergraduate student, and have just completed my second year at Trinity College Dublin. Having been through the pressure of exams myself, I remember all too well how daunting they can be. While revising for my exams, I found a couple of techniques which can really help with stress, time-management and essay writing, and which helped me gain A*s in GCSE and A level English, and a 1st in both of my two years at university.
More importantly, I hope I can share my own love of English Literature with you. Memorising a list of quotes or fancy literary devices will only get you so far in your English studies, which can make the subject seem intimidating. Yet this is also what makes English so exciting! With a little bit of confidence, any student can offer their own fantastic, and completely original, interpretation of a literary text.

In our first lesson, I will discuss which areas the student is struggling with and which topics they would like to focus on. This will enable me to tailor my sessions to the student's goals, and preferred methods of learning. I will measure progress by setting exam style questions at the end of a topic covered and mark it for the next session to see if there are still areas that need improving. It might also be helpful to take the student beyond their assigned texts: mark schemes, particularly for A Levels, reward students who can offer alternative avenues of interpretation. If this is something you are interested in, I can introduce you to some critical opinions on a literary work, or we can consider the influence of the context in which a text was written together.

Nina has been a fantastic English tutor for my son (17 yo). Not only is she helping him prepare for his upcoming English A Level, her enthusiasm and passion for literature has really inspired my son. She has introduced him to a range of critical interpretations on his set texts and encouraged him to read more widely, recommending novels and plays he might enjoy. Nina's proficiency in written and spoken English is impressive, as is her knowledge of literature and literary criticism. She would make an ideal tutor for anybody struggling with essay writing or reading comprehension.
