/ Julia M.
An Outstanding Teacher of English with over ten years of experience. Personable, friendly and insightful.
I am able to tech at all levels and an friendly yet highly effective at enthusing to great results. I have worked professionally as a guitarist in function bands,blues bands, tribute acts ( Floyd, dire straits, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ricky Nelson, led Zeppelin and many more), duos, solo, classical, jazz and folk in UK, Oman, Dubai and Spain. I have also been a full time teacher of drama, music and performing arts at secondary level at the esteemed Cheltenham Ladies College and have gone on to run my own drama department at Cleeve school. I will teach online or face to face and will create bespoke lessons as we progress according to exactly what you need. I can hold drama workshops and sessions, assist with lamda exams and any other creative exams. Fully knowledgeable of AQA GCSE and a level drama I can assist with homework, or exam preparation.
My name is Christine Borg. I grew up in a small island where my education led me to a Bachelor’s degree in General Medical Studies. However, the artistic fibre in me eventually took me to London to study Drama and in 2017, I graduated with a Master’s degree from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts.
I returned to my family and pursued my other life interests: dogs, target shooting, and SCUBA diving amongst other things. I had to earn a living besides trying to put into practice my Acting career. I managed to balance work and getting some experience in Theatre, TV, film, Radio voice overs and singing.
The best balance of work and satisfaction came through teaching but, after Summer 2019 my life brought me back to the UK, where I now live. I took the first good job that came along, solely to earn my living.
However, I want my work be worthwhile besides being my financial income. Satisfaction in my job is of the utmost importance to me, and I believe I can achieve this through teaching.
My qualifications allow me to teach English to students form 3-year-olds to adults, GCSE level Chemistry, Biology and Physics and Science to 8 to 16-year-old students.
As I wish to continue teaching Online, I use all my experience from my TEFL qualifications and Drama school days to improvise and make my lessons as interactive and as interesting as possible. In English classes, in particular, I can help the students with their pronunciation and conversation by giving them confidence in themselves. I try to apply a positive outlook in whatever I am teaching. Engaging with the student is the basis for learning.

I teach English, Drama, Media, and Film across Key Stage 3 -5 and have run departments across three years. In the industry I have produced over 100 events in theatre across London and the United Kingdom. In film I have produced ten short films garnering numerous awards at over 100 festivals. Highlights include screening in Hollywood, at The Curzon Soho in London, and being hand picked for Danny Boyle's Shuffle Festival. Currently I am conducting research into pre-digital theatre texts with a view to developing digital adaptations for use in schools and universites. This is for my PhD at The Royal Birmimgham Conservatoire. I have extensive experience in tutoring both online and at home with excellent value added results for my students. I am motivational and methodical seeking always to help my learners achieve their desired outcomes. I hold a full DBS on the update service last cleared in Ocotber 2023.
With over 30 years of classroom, strategic, managerial, examination and assessment experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to tutoring your child/you. Tutoring is all about focusing the student on exactly what the question/task demands and demystifying the process, opening up possibilities and developing intellectual curiosity.
Before we start the tutoring, I carry out an audit of what knowledge and understanding of content there is, plus learning about the obstacles you face, what perceptions hold you back and generally finding out what kind of learner you are.
I will listen really carefully to what you need and will offer a plan to help you progress and move forward. Similarly, if I can't help, I will inform you of this too. It's really important that we get on.
Every student/learner is different; every backstory is unique. Many students have barriers; sometimes reassurance and pointing in the right direction will suffice.
Some years ago, I tutored a student on a Saturday morning. He was a bright and a very able science learner (straight As at GCSE) yet could not handle English or Literature and this was clearly holding him back (both his own self-esteem and his grades). It took a few weeks to instill a new way of apporaching the texts/writing, but once we applied a 'scientific approach' to analysis, it completely revolutinised his way of working. (He moved from a D to an A in four months of being with me, by the way!)
That was not a one-off. My recent tutoring has enabled me to accelerate learners way beyond what they thought they were capable of. Tutees are at the centre of the experince and it is all focused on them. I have an excellent interpersonal style, which is firm and fair, with a strong sense of agenda and coverage. We will go over things, revisiting to reinforce previous learning and to create the space where the tutee feels more independent and able to move forward without support. When a tutee says "I think I'm good from here!" I take that as a moment of great success!
Whether it's GCSE, A Level, BTEC or degree level, I will commit to working with you to make great progress.
I believe in strong relationship building and a positive approach, whatever the real or less tangible hurdles that might be in the way.
Building confidence is a key aspect of my teaching pedagogy and I welcome students who might need some help with this.

Drama and English lessons in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
Formerly an Advanced Skills Teacher for Drama and Performing Arts, I was appointed as a Senior Lead Practitioner for Creativity in 2019. My first degree was in English Literature at Southampton. This was followed by a PGCE in Drama and English from the Institute of Education, and another PGCE in Directing Text with Young People, before moving on to my Masters in Education (Drama) working with the University of Middlesex and Trestle Theatre.
My teaching, leadership and whole school responsibilities have included: English Language and Literature; Drama and Theatre Studies; Media and Film Studies; Cross-Curricular Literacy; Raising Boys’ Achievement; Creative and Cultural entitlement. I have worked in a variety of contexts throughout London and Hertfordshire. Most recently, I led a 2-year journey of Creative Teaching and Learning across a two-site secondary school, working towards Artsmark accreditation in April 2021.
During lockdown, I embraced the challenges of remote learning and enjoyed the opportunity to experiment with different modes of delivery and interaction. TutorExtra has given me the perfect opportunity to extend the influence of over 30 years of teaching and learning expertise. I look forward to working with another new cohort of students as we all forge ahead into the ‘new normal’ of education. If you are looking for a highly experienced and effective teacher of English Literature, particularly when it comes to Shakespeare, then here I am.
