About Beth
Last year I graduated with first class honours in English Literature and Film and Television Studies from the University of Glasgow. Having subsequently taken up work within the SEN unit of a primary school here in London, I am confident tutoring English Literature up to undergraduate level, and all subjects within the primary curriculum (including preparation for KS1/2 SATs and extra support for children with additional needs). My style of teaching is highly adaptable, depending on the particular challenges faced by you or your child.
I'm aware of the common misconception held by students that English Literature grading is inconsistent and enigmatic, however, my own studies and experience in academic proofreading has given me an in-depth understanding of what it takes to excel in this challenging subject. In relation to primary and secondary exams, I have access to many fantastic resources, and am confident in my ability to aid your child's academic development.

I was the supervisor for Beth Johnstone’s undergraduate dissertation at the University of Glasgow, in which she wrote on the complex relationships between people and physical books. She came to the project with a well-articulated sense of what she wanted to achieve and an impressive willingness to acquire skills in new areas. Despite lacking previous formal training, she conducted a rigorous piece of quantitative research as part of the project, as well as surveying a wide range of theoretical and critical texts cutting across disciplinary fields including book history, film theory, architecture, sociology and philosophy. Her approach was academically well-informed, but also extremely creative and original. The dissertation was awarded an A3 (equivalent to about 75 on the English marking scale); one of the markers described her project as ‘an excellent dissertation which uses quantifiable data to explore the association between book selection, age and nostalgia’; the other characterised it as ‘a novel, sophisticated and useful piece of criticism’, writing that it was ‘especially laudable in its innovative accounting for the ways in which the book as object transcends straightforwardly economic value systems to do different kinds of work both for individuals and for the culture more broadly.’
