About Gráinne

I read English Language and Literature at New College, Oxford, graduating in 2016. Before moving to the UK for university I have lived in Ireland and the United Arab Emirates, and I recently completed my training as an actor at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

My passion for tutoring comes from belonging to a family of educators. This has instilled in me a strong belief in the potential of each student; seeing students tap into this potential is what makes this job so exciting for me. My approach is to encourage a playful, confident attitude to learning, seeking out what captures the imagination of the student, and equipping them with the tools they need to become independent thinkers.

I understand how stressful exams can be for students at any age, and I aim to promote healthy practices that will lessen their anxiety and improve confidence and creativity. Having lived abroad as a child, I am especially empathetic with the experience of pupils who are undergoing a change of scene, whether it be a new form class, school, curriculum, country or, now, online learning.
