About Sheri
I love what I do. I have been studying and teaching English literature for over twenty years. I am a patient and enthusiastic tutor and I aim to inspire others to feel more confident when reading, analysing, writing, and speaking.
I have experience as a school teacher in the US and the UK. I taught English language and literature to secondary-school students (13-18 years old) in Los Angeles for seven years before moving to the UK. I have since been teaching at top independent schools, including a maternity cover at Eton College.
I also have experience of teaching in higher education. From 2000-2002, I was a Teaching Assistant in the English Department at Clark University in Massachusetts (USA). I taught ‘Fiction by Women Writers’, ‘Introduction to Medieval Literature’ and ‘American Gothic Fiction’. From 2015 to 2020, I was a Visiting Lecturer in the English Department at Royal Holloway, University of London, where I taught ‘Introduction to Medieval Literature’ and ‘Medieval Romance’.
My educational qualifications include a BA, MA, MPhil and PhD in English Literature. I earned my MPhil from the University of Oxford and my doctorate from Royal Holloway, University of London. I have previously been certified to teach AP English Language and AP English Literature. I am also an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
I help people to improve their reading, analysis, and writing; to pass exams; and to get into their dream schools and universities.
I have a broad understanding of English literature. I have taught texts and writers from a range of historical periods, including medieval and Arthurian literature, Shakespearean texts, and more modern writers. I am practised at guiding students through the writing process. I also teach research methods and academic writing skills.
I have experience of successfully preparing students for exams (GCSE; A-Level [AQA; OCR; Pre-U]; AP English Literature; AP English Language; ELATS; IELTS). I also assist with school and university applications (personal statements; interview coaching) and entrance exam preparation.
I would be happy to discuss and offer insight into literary texts and their historical and literary contexts, to review essay drafts and guide you towards improving your written work, and to help you to prepare for presentations and exams. I am open-minded, patient, and responsive to individual needs and learning levels.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries! Thank you.

Sheri is an amazing tutor who takes time to get to know her students needs and makes an effort to explain complex concepts in a logical and engaging way. She is very knowledgable and I highly recommend her as a tutor for any level of qualification.
Sheri is one of the best English tutors I have come across. We have been through many tutors who claim to be experts in their field, yet have not been helpful. We were lucky to find Sheri as my son was facing a tight deadline and she was very patient and kind and helped him understand the text that he had been struggling with for months within just a day. She is an expert in her field and her dedication and enthusiasm for her work clearly shows in her lessons. Not to mention her continuous support. She is a tutor that really cares and that’s a quality that some tutors surprisingly lack these days. She is very understanding of what the student’s requirements are, organised and is very quick to respond. We would absolutely recommend Sheri to anyone who requires any help with English at any level as her knowledge for this subject knows no bounds. A true expert, professional and champion of English.
She helps me a lot in writing
White is the best English teacher that anyone could ever have she always goes the extra mile for me. She is truly the best. No one can meet to her standards. She works so hard and everyone always recognizes her hard work. I am the only one who really actually recognizes the hard work that she does. She was always there for me when I needed help and when I needed someone to lean on. She is the best teacher. I looked up words in the dictionary that could relate to her kindness and her uniqueness there were no words to describe how wonderful she is, but if there was a word that described her it would probably take up the whole page. Thank you Miss sherySheri is an amazing teacher. She has devotion and dedication in teaching and helping people to improve their English. She never will leave the class if you don’t understand what she is trying to explain and for me this is key factor... Thank to her I passed the exams and I got into University.
Sheri C is an amazing woman and teacher. She worked in high school teaching writing (creative and argumentative), literary analysis, critical thinking, grammar and vocabulary, ap literature and discussion techniques. I highly recommend Sheri for any student who wants to get help on material that is a struggle or who wants to get ahead. Sheri is patient, compassionate and engaging. I often remark that she is the smartest person I know because it is true. She loves to work with young adults, but is great with younger children and adults as well. I wish she would come back to the USA and teach in our community again. Sheri pushes students in ways that help them grow and nurtures the smallest seeds of an idea. She empowers her students to be creative in their ideas and encourages them to think authentically and for themselves. Sheri loves to discuss all topics and is knowledgeable about a variety of subjects that would connect to literature including but not limited to: politics, history, psychology, religion, philosophy, communications, art history, and she knows literature that spans several genres, time periods, and locales. Sheri is definitely the person I want when I need help on a project...either from the beginning of a long term project, or in a pinch for a quick bit of feedback.

Dr. Sheri C is a wonderful teacher. She is patient, kind, and friendly. She has a wide knowledge of literature that she is passionate about sharing with others. She is an excellent writer with a solid understanding of university and academic level writing, and her years of experience in teaching are clear in her professional demeanour and attention to the student. She provides guidance that is suitable for those preparing for A-levels and beyond, and her grasp of language, grammar, and semantics would be helpful to anyone who is involved in writing. In addition to her professional knowledge, however, Dr. Sheri C’s patience and genuine desire to help her students is what really helps her stand apart from other tutors. Her many years of experience teaching at various levels ensures that she is capable of handling all manner of students, literature, and writing. Her love of literature is clear in her enthusiasm in helping her students learn and grow, and I would recommend her services without hesitation.
Sheri is an extremely experienced tutor, with years of experience as a school teacher, and experience as a university lecturer too. She knows her subject thoroughly, and she receives excellent student feedback.
Sheri has been a huge help in generating and focussing ideas in my college application essay as well as with the essay writing process. She is incredibly talented and experienced in this arena of work.
Anyone who needs help with essays should come to Sheri. She has an amazingly deep knowledge of literature and language. I received her help on several essays and it made a big difference. Sheri offered really useful advice about the grammar and structure of my essays but also helped me to improve the content. I have never before received such useful feedback from a tutor.
I would really recommend her to anyone who needs help on written work for school, or at the university or master’s level.View more recommendations
