About Rosa
I studied English at Cambridge University where I read extremely widely and came to specialise in Victorian poetry, in my free time directing Shakespeare and Greek Tragedy.
Alongside my work as a tutor, I run an educational consultancy, offering long- and short-term academic planning and advice to students and their families, and I am highly knowledgeable when it comes to choosing and applying to the selective London day schools and top UK universities (in particular, Oxford and Cambridge).
I believe in the importance of a general education in becoming a fully formed individual. I therefore encourage all my students to read widely and to take responsibility for their intellectual development. This approach leads both to the best results in examinations and success in school and university applications, and to building a lifelong appreciation of literature. My own interests include Shakespeare, the essay as a literary form, W. G. Sebald, 19th century poetry in English and French, 20th century American fiction, and modern and contemporary poetry.

English
I teach English Language and Literature from pre-GCSE to A Level. I also prepare students for 11+, 13+ and sixth form entrance and for admissions to Oxbridge and other leading UK universities.
I draw on nine years’ experience teaching English Language and Literature as a private tutor. I teach students to achieve the highest grades they can. My students learn how to conduct careful and rigorous literary analysis and to think in depth about the social, historical, and political contexts of the works they are studying. For English Language, my lessons are primarily exam-focused. Here, reading comprehension, critical thinking, clarity of expression, and the analysis of language and structure are of primary importance.
My students frequently exceed expectations.
Recent GCSE results include:
Improvement from Grade 5 to Grade 8 in both English Language and Literature
Improvement from Grade 7 to Grade 9 in English Literature
Improvement from Grade 5 to Grade 9 in English Literature
I am experienced in preparing pupils for 11+ and 13+ admissions, from the ISEB/CEM through to school-specific tests and interviews.

Testimonials
“I am delighted to share that my daughter received offers from all four schools she applied to, including Francis Holland, Sloane Square and Francis Holland, Regent’s Park. I cannot thank you enough for your patience, professionalism, reassurance, and guidance throughout the process. You played a tremendous role in her preparation – always kind, encouraging, and genuinely caring. Both my daughter and I are truly grateful for everything you have done.” — Parent of successful 11+ applicant
“Huge thanks for all the help, support, and confidence boosting you gave my daughter in her application to Oxford. She has exceeded her required grades and secured her place.” — Parent of successful applicant to Oxford University for Russian and Arabic.
“Ms. Rosa has been such a wonderful tutor! She explains things in a way that’s easy to understand and always takes time to make sure I really get it. She’s patient, kind, and genuinely cares about her students’ progress. I’ve learned so much from her and truly appreciate all her help.” – GCSE English Language student
“When we began tuition six months ago, my son was working at around a Grade 5 in GCSE English Language and Literature. His English teacher has since confirmed that he is now predicted a Grade 8 in both subjects and has even asked whether he would like to take English at A level. He also achieved 100% in his reading test. Thank you so much for all your help.” — Parent of GCSE student
“My son started his English Literature tuition with Rosa from grade 5 and after five months of tuition achieved an impressive grade 9: a testament to Rosa’s exceptional teaching skills. I wholeheartedly recommend Rosa to any student or parent seeking a highly skilled and results-driven English Literature tutor. Her professionalism, deep subject knowledge, and ability to deliver rapid, tangible improvements make her an invaluable educator.” — Parent of GCSE student
