Leena
A-Level English Literature Tutor | MA English Literature
Literature has always been central to my life both as a university lecturer and as a personal tutor. I’ve taught everything from Romantic poetry to Modernist prose, but Shakespeare remains a favourite. Over the years, I’ve helped sixth formers sharpen essays, decode complex texts, and grow confident with literary criticism. When not tutoring, I work on theatre scripts and spend weekends volunteering at a local archive.
