About Thorsteinn
I am a student of English Literature at The Manchester Grammar School, in my final year of sixth-form education. I remember the ameliorating impact sixth-form students had upon my desire to read and write when I was younger, and now want to give others that same opportunity.
I have been volunteering with children of primary school age for years, helping them improve their literacy skills. And I have also helped my nine-year-old brother to overcome his fear of reading by holding entertaining one-to-one lessons with him. I enjoy working with younger children, but have found I can tutor even those older than myself quite well.

I teach how to enjoy reading, how to enjoy writing about the books you read; I teach how to read in an active sense without simply letting words on a page wash over you. I try to get my tutees to understand more complicated texts, and how to properly analyse the text being read.
I find that working across mediums (i.e. film or musical analysis) can be somewhat beneficial and often very engaging, but try to retain a sharp focus on the written word where I can.
All the while an informal atmosphere is maintained, as I believe this has a positive impact on a person's confidence and willingness to read and write.

Thorsteinn is a bright, patient and thoughtful tutor who has assisted our Justin with his English homework for the past couple years. Marked improvements have been seen especially in grammar and creative writing. Our son enjoys his lessons as well. Highly recommended.
