About Grainne
I graduated from Jesus College Cambridge with a first class degree in 2019, as a scholar and exhibitioner. Throughout my time at university, I was also heavily involved in theatre and creative writing, and have since been working as Artistic Director of Three Sisters Productions, a company begun with my two sisters which has produced two plays and taken them to the Edinburgh Fringe. Before University, I lived in Madrid for a year where I worked as a translator and assistant director for a classical theatre company. At University, I completed Spanish proficiency tests, and borrowed a Spanish paper as part of my English degree. I have spent many years working with children and teenagers as a childminder, and have experience teaching English Language to people of all ages.

Grainne helped our daughters so much with SATS (year 6) and GCSE English and Drama. She even helped with general homework with humanities and maths. She has a wonder calm manner and approach and makes the lessons engaging and interesting.enabling both of my daughters to not only improve exam technique and their grades but self-confidence and good meta cognitive strategies. Highly recommend
We've never used a tutor before but Tom has recently struggled to keep up with his studies so we thought we would give it a go.
It became apparent after one session with Grainne that it was well worth the time and money! She was so enthusiastic and really took the time to get to know what he (and we!) aimed to get out of the sessions.
Grainne's knowledge is very broad and she takes the time to really get to know the text, which massively pays off in her lessons. We've seen a huge improvement in Tom's ability in the few months that Grainne has been tutoring him, and his enthusiasm for literature has returned in a big way. Thank you thank you Grainne!To whom it may concern,
Grainne worked as Secretary when I was the President of PEN Cambridge branch from 2018-19. During our time working together she was a dedicated, proficient and smart worker with great imaginative flare. She also exercised a patience and willingness to understand others that made collaboration very easy, and I imagine would be invaluable working as a Tutor. She has a profound intelligence, curiosity and passion for learning that is infectious, and naturally encourages those around her to feel their most comfortable and to work with passion and energy. I could not recommend her more whole-heartedly as a Tutor.
Yours Sincerely,
Phoebe Hamilton JonesView more recommendations
