Hello! I'm a cycle-riding, 10k-running, travel-loving, cake-munching, coffee-drinking tutor with a huge passion for books and reading. (As any good book lover will tell you: reading and collecting books are two different hobbies - and I excel at both!)
My main aim in creating this website is to share lots of book recommendations for children and young adults. Aside from the fact that reading is a pleasure that can last a lifetime, it is also one of the best things that young people (and adults too!) can do to improve their learning and communication in English and beyond.
The late Dr Michael Mosley wrote a lovely article for the BBC in which he explored the amazing benefits of reading fiction in relieving stress, activating large parts of the brain, increasing empathy for others and even - I hope so! - helping us to live longer! If my recommendations help one young person find a book that they love and a passion for reading, then I'm already winning.
NB - I've read every book and magazine recommended on this website...
As a tutor with over 14 years full time experience, I have also included some information about my experience, style and the different services I offer, with some reviews available too.
However, the best way it to contact me directly so we can arrange a phone call to discuss your child's needs.
