About me
About Me:
I am an English Literature student at the University of Exeter. I have always had a real passion and love for both literature and language, and hope that my tutorials will ignite that spark in you, too.
I am very patient and friendly. I worked as an English teacher abroad in both Thailand and Cambodia, so have a lot of experience teaching with people as young as 3 years old.
The Sessions:
During the sessions, you will guide what we cover. I will tailor sessions specifically to you, to ensure that you get exactly what you want out of them.
I will use as many different ways (diagrams, words, analogies) as possible to explain unfamiliar concepts, and help you structure your essays in a way that is effective for you, until you are confident enough that you can explain it to me - or even help your friends!
I hope the sessions will be fun! A lot can be achieved in 55 minutes, especially if it is made enjoyable - literature written hundreds of years ago can seem intimidating, but it is truly fascinating and hopefully, if you didn’t think that before, you will by the end of the session!
What next?
If you have any questions, send me a 'WebMail' or book a 'Meet the Tutor Session'!. Remember to tell me your exam board and what you'd like help with.
I look forward to meeting you!

Questions Elena has answered
How can I revise for my English Literature exam?
Revising for an English exam can be daunting with so many different poems and texts to choose from! However, it can be useful to revise key themes and ideas across texts, rather than focus on learning every detail and quotation, as essay questions are often structured around themes. This means you can easily adapt your knowledge about specific texts to answer the question, and also makes intertextuality and comparison between texts easier.
