"Intellectually rigorous ... lively, engaging and entertaining. This tuition went way beyond the exam syllabus. I was stretched, challenged and questioned into thinking far more originally and independently. Rob's teaching was more akin to an undergraduate tutorial than any A level lesson I have encountered."

- Olivia, 17

In 2006 I graduated from Oxford with First Class Honours in English. Since then I have been teaching privately throughout London.

I offer a premium service, devoting what I believe is an unusually high level of attention to a pupil's unique requirements. I help keen but intellectually chaotic young people to think clearly and express themselves with confidence and style. My lessons build upon the student's strengths and interests.

I specialize in teaching potential Oxford and Cambridge students and other A and AS level English Literature candidates, travelling to their homes. As well as being in demand for exam preparation and Oxbridge interview coaching, I have been a popular guide for those with a private enthusiasm for books.

I am also available to help students of history, politics and the humanities with their verbal reasoning and writing skills. I have been asked to lead essay workshops for sixth form groups.

My own literary interests range from medieval Icelandic sagas to modern comic novels via eighteenth century aesthetics. I have taught works by Shakespeare, Chaucer, Conrad, Waugh, Dickens, Duffy, Marlowe, the Beowulf poet and countless other authors.
