Hi! I'm Katie and I'm a second-year English student at University College London. I have been tutoring since 2019. My lessons are designed for non-native learners to tackle their most common problems and cover a range of areas including grammar, vocabulary, writing and reading comprehension.

I also specialise in English Literature. I train students to analyse and interpret literary works through themes, structure, poetic devices, stylistic features and tone. I provide guidance for writing both exam and assessment-based essays, enabling students to write a holistic appreciation of an author's work. Having undertaken HKDSE English Literature and an undergraduate BA English course, I have critically studied a range of classic written works, including but not limited to: The Great Gatsby, The Catcher in the Rye, The Taming of the Shrew, Paradise Lost, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, The Waste Land and Chaucer.

My qualifications are as stated: UCL BA (hons) English - predicted upper-second class (2:1) / HKDSE English 5**, English Literature 5*, Chinese 5* / IELTS Academic 8.0. I am fluent in Cantonese and English. Read less

My teaching schedule is flexible and tailored according to each student's educational needs. I can either take an exam-based approach, in which I focus on intensive drilling and examination skills, or a learning-based approach that aims at steadily improving students' language usage through everyday reading, listening and speaking. Your first lesson with me is a free trial, in which we will gain a basic understanding of our learning needs and goals. Read less
