"Hi! My name is Katya, and I graduated from Brown University with dual degrees in English Literature and Literary Arts (Honors). I also spent a year studying English Literature at the University of Oxford and graduated with a 1:1 (first-class degree). I currently work as a Writer for film and TV and a Producer.

I have tutored for many years, starting with after-school tutoring when I was sixteen. I have tutored English and History. Additionally, I have worked as a UCAS and Common App Tutor. My love for English makes me a great tutor. I transfer this passion into my tutoring sessions and constantly bring in real-world examples of whatever unit a student is learning.

I am flexible and can adapt to all types of students with different abilities and adjust to any level of comprehension to meet a student's or parent's goals. I mirror my student's understanding and always teach appropriately, whether students need foundational skills or high-level tips before taking a test. Patience is one of my best qualities, and I never get frustrated at a student struggling to understand. I am proficient in online teaching and have tutored online since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. I am competent with Zoom as a communication and instructional tool and always keep my students engaged.

Please get in touch with me if you want an experienced tutor who can teach you the basics or take you to the next level. I am very accessible by email, and my hours are always flexible." less...
