I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Jacqueline

Certified Tutor

I am passionate about education, and about life-long learning in particular. I returned to education in my 40s and gained a PhD in English Literature from Canterbury Christ Church University in 2021. I also have a BA(hons) in English & History, a Master's degree in Dickens & Victorian Culture, and a PGCE (lifelong-learning) teaching qualification. There is no 'right' age to learn: if you want to learn, I can help you; if you need to learn - eg: for an exam or specific career opportunity - I can help you there too. I specialise in English Literature, Language and Creative Writing, all of which I have taught to adult students in the UK for more than 13 years. I am based in the UK, and I have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren.

I love literature - reading it, discussing it, or writing about it - and my speciality is the Victorian era. I am Joint Honorary General Secretary of the Dickens Fellowship and I give talks on topics related to Dickens and/or other aspects of Victorian literature and culture. I also work part-time for a church organisation and keep fit by cycling and Morris dancing. I also enjoy spending time with my 5 adorable little grandchildren and/or walking my dog (a Lhasa Apso called Pebbles).
