About Jessica
I have recently completed my degree in Philosophy and English Literature (MA) at University of Edinburgh, and I am taking a gap year before returning to study Graduate Law in 2026. During my break from academia, I’d like to share my knowledge and passion for my subjects! My aim is to offer effective tutorship to people who want to gain more confidence and skill in humanities and essay subjects. I myself have studied a mix of GCSE/Highers and Advanced Highers. As a result, I am well prepared to teach the skills needed up to SQA Advanced Higher and beyond.

Approach:
Does essay writing seem overwhelming? Do you struggle to turn ideas and texts into clear arguments? My aim is to make the process of writing an essay simplified. The big ideas that come along in Literature, Philosophy and Religion can be bewildering, but I will guide you through planning, writing, and editing in a way that reduces confusion and builds your academic confidence. I love these thought-provoking subjects! However, I have struggled with others at school; I am therefore understanding how hard it can be for students to get a grip of certain techniques.
Lessons:
Many students don’t realise that essay-based subjects assess how you answer a question just as much as what you know. As a result, my approach to questions will differ across subjects. We will aim to make writing more approachable by teaching you how to unpack questions, develop strong thesis statements and structure paragraphs effectively. Eventually, this will become second nature!
Lesson lengths are usually dependent on the student themselves and their level, ranging from 1-2 hours. We will plan practice essays, and look at the function of the questions that they answer, as well as the content that they assess. After this, we will progress to writing the essays, and talk about how to structure sentences/paragraphs within our plans. If we are working towards an exam, we will look at practice papers and the recurring/predictable questions that occur, so that we have a solid understanding of what to expect, and how to be confident in answering questions to meet these expectations.
Experience:
- Four years of academic experience in higher education, studying Philosophy and English Literature (MA) and graduating with a First Class dissertation in Islamic Philosophy.
- Provided informal tutoring and peer support in essay planning, revision strategies, and interpretation of texts.
- Strong subject expertise in secondary-level academia, having achieved A grades in all offered subjects up to Advanced Highers: Religious and Philosophical Studies, English, and Latin.
- Thorough experience in proofreading (Project Gutenberg) and research (Edinburgh University Press), developing excellent attention to detail and communication skills.
