Our Tutors - Martha W

Martha, English - University of Oxford

Hi! I’m Martha, an English Language & Literature, Film Studies, and University Admissions Tutor. Since graduating from the University of Oxford with a BA in English Language & Literature, and alongside working as a Film Director’s Assistant and Script Development Coordinator, I have been a tutor for over five years. I have taught students ranging from KS2 to A-Level, and across the exam boards - which all means that I know how to adapt to the very varying needs of students, and make sure that my lessons are actually helping!

Before University, I was awarded the scholarship award for highest performance at my Secondary School, receiving an A* in Philosophy, English Literature, and Psychology, and an A in Biology, and have worked as a mentor for students at the school since, running University Admissions Courses and tutoring many. And in more recent years, I have developed my English Language and Literature skills across a multitude of fields including Poetry Journals and Artists’ Collectives, Treatments and Professional Documents that have been used at British Broadcasters across the Industry, and three Short Films of my own.

My lessons are flexible and exam-focused, with my key priority being that what I teach directly improves performance - and of course, grades! - while using my professional experience in Film & TV to provide something distinctly different from day to day school work through a bespoke, student-led and interactive approach. Every student thinks, works, and learns differently, and it is a joy adapting to it each time.
