About Melissa
I was lucky enough to be educated at Westminster School and Oxford University and have a life long love of literature and communicating how to write about it with discipline and confidence.
I have worked in TV as well as as a published novelist and writer, beginning teaching eight years ago. Nothing is more rewarding than the success and happiness of my students.

Perfect! Melissa changed my life as a writer! With her expertise in preparing for the Oxford ELAT, she built my confidence immensely, enabling me to approach the exam with an air of enthusiasm. Melissa opened up doors which have pushed me to another level of writing, allowing my work to become much more advanced. Through each of her engaging lessons, I learned skills which I will take with me for the rest of my writing career. I recommend Melissa with endless praise.

Melissa is absolutely fantastic, she helped me tremendously with my English A Level, bumping up my grades to an A* and she reignited my passion for the subject amidst a work-heavy Year 13. She smiled non-stop during our lessons, even as she criticised my coursework, which built a fantastic tutor-tutee relationship between us that I really cherished. I cannot recommend Melissa enough!
Melissa taught me English A level for a year. She is a patient, passionate, entertaining and thorough teacher who encourages creativity. I would highly recommend her to those of all levels!
Melissa had a very clear idea of what to cover and the sessions were well structured. My son engaged well with her and his better understanding of what was required to achieve higher marks across all units of the English Language GCSE led to moving from a 'D' to an 'A'. Result!
Melissa has a very friendly, relaxed and encouraging manner.Melissa was a very gentle and encouraging tutor who helped me a lot with my essay writing skills and grammar. As she was very experienced she was able to give me much more in depth knowledge about the subject. I would highly recommend her.
Melissa is a kind, helpful and fantastic English tutor! She has helped me to develop my A level exam technique and to develop better analysis skills. I would thoroughly recommend her!
