About Philippa
I’ve spent my academic career uncovering hidden stories in the earth and in the lab. I want to teach because I want to show students that English, History, and Science aren't just subjects in a textbook—they are tools for investigating the world around us. I want to turn their 'revision' into an 'investigation.
I am very patient and keen to help anxious and/or nervous students.

As a Master’s graduate in Forensic Anthropology, I have spent years mastering the art of the perfect essay. My background in A-Level English combined with years of postgraduate research means I don't just teach students what to write—I teach them how to write.
I specialise in helping students bridge the gap between 'knowing the story' and 'writing a top-mark analysis.' Whether your child is struggling with GCSE English Literature, Language, or History essays, I provide clear, actionable frameworks for:
Structure & Flow: Turning scattered thoughts into persuasive, logical arguments.
Analytical Depth: Moving beyond basic descriptions to high-level 'PEEL' (Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link) paragraphs.
Grammar & Vocabulary: Enhancing written expression to impress examiners.
Critical Thinking: Learning how to deconstruct a text or historical source like a researcher.
I offer a supportive, step-by-step approach designed to build confidence in writing. If you’re looking for a tutor who can help turn complex ideas into A* essays, please get in touch!
