I’m a Dubai-based AP English Literature tutor with a background in comparative literature. Over the past decade I’ve helped students preparing for the May exam, extended essays and school coursework on authors from Shakespeare to Morrison. I focus on close reading, developing original thesis statements and learning how to write under time pressure without losing structure or textual detail. I’m happy to suggest extra reading if you want to stretch yourself.

I’m an English literature tutor in Abu Dhabi and a bit obsessed with poetry and modern drama. If you’re stuck turning your thoughts into a clear essay, we’ll start by talking through the text in plain language, then shape that into quotes and analysis the exam will reward. I’ve worked with AP students from US and British schools here, as well as a few homeschooled teens online. I’m relaxed about cameras on or off as long as you stay engaged.

Originally trained as a secondary English teacher, I now work privately with AP Literature students. I’m especially familiar with building reading lists that balance the official suggested texts with novels and plays you actually enjoy. Sessions mix guided annotation, planning outlines and timed practice essays so that close analysis becomes a habit rather than a last-minute panic. I’m comfortable meeting online or at quiet cafés in Dubai.
