About Karina
I have completed a BA in English from UCL, which is one of the most competitive English courses in the country, if not the world. Before my degree, I was a top-class student at both GCSE and A Level, receiving full marks in multiple exams. I am also deeply involved with theatre on an academic and acting level, and am incredibly well versed in literary and social history and theory from the Renaissance to the present day. Two younger siblings and countless peers have taught me how to approach a range of differing abilities, personalities, and interests in a variety of exciting ways, an am equally well versed in the various requirements and accommodations which neurodivergent individuals need in order to excel in their chosen field. I am fluent in Russian and grew up with a dual cultural background, and so have a keen understanding of the importance of clear communication and empathetic approaches to the study of literature, which, inevitably, is the study of an often unsettling history. I am always looking to broaden my own knowledge, and foster an environment where I do not teach ‘at’ people; rather, I look to constantly maintain a two-way exchange and learn more about the world I haven’t seen by talking with and learning from my students.

I take a very individualised approach to my students - after a brief discussion of your goals, background, and interest, as well as a (brief and simple!) aptitude test, my job will be to light a path for you to walk on. In my experience, no two lessons are ever the same - we could spend one reading and discussing Harold Bloom’s theories of literary tradition, and the next examining a 17th century sonnet. For younger students, the curriculum will be used to structure the lessons and fill in knowledge gaps, but my primary focus is always to get to a point where my students forget there was ever a set list in the first place. In my books (pun intended?) literature can only be appreciated when it is truly enjoyed, and, whatever level you are at, my goal as a tutor is to give you the tools not only to pass any exam with flying colours, but also to find new kinds of literature you never knew you’d love.

I’ve been working with Karina for just over a year now and their unique approach to teaching is truly exceptional. As any good educator should, they always put their students’ interests first, making sure to account for each and every quirk in an individual’s learning style. As a result, the balance they strike between guidance and a push to independent work is clearly carefully considered and I have found this allows for a real sense of development for the student in how they approach literature academically. Karina’s style of education allows them to flourish particularly as an English teacher as they can flexibly navigate the relationship between student, text, and author; they can always succinctly explain where and when each of these elements should be prioritised in the writing of an essay with a sensitivity that allows ample space for their pupils to express themselves while ensuring that they write with the clarity necessary to communicate this effectively.
