Teuta Day - Private Tutor in Central London
I have a first-class degree in Education, English and Drama from St John's College, the University of Cambridge and a great deal of teaching experience both internationally and in the UK. With a body of educational thought behind my work, I've lectured on William Shakespeare in The Cayman Islands, the US and Switzerland (among other venues). Working with touring theatre groups I have expertise in theatrical texts and classical plays. I taught at an independent secondary school in Bath, preparing students for their GCSE and A-Level examinations and taking responsibility for A-Level coursework.

My Approach to Tutoring
Although my expertise lies in classical English literary texts I try to negotiate literature and learning from a modern standpoint. I want to make sure that the learning feels relevant, engaging students on their own terms. This might mean talking about the links between a student’s favourite TV show and classical literature or allowing them to build their own critical opinion. Having taught a wide range of learners I've developed a high-energy teaching style; I bring a lot of positive and focused energy into the room and create a playful atmosphere when learning. We may be studying for an exam but that doesn't mean the content or the lesson has to be dull. Having immersed myself in educational theories for many years I take my work seriously and put a great deal of thought into every lesson I teach.
Fun Facts About Me
When I am not tutoring you can find me in a theatre doing anything from rigging lights, stage managing productions or even performing the odd one-woman show! I consume TV and film at an impressive rate - and studied a lot of visual culture at university. I'll try and use a classic film scene in a lesson to demonstrate how the literary technique in a novel translates to visual culture. Teuta is an Albanian name; although meant to be pronounced 'Te-u-tar' most people pronounce it 'Tutor' which makes quite a fun little joke.
