Dedicated Linguist & Expert Educator (MA Candidate | TSC Registered)
Welcome! Are you looking for a tutor who goes beyond just "giving the answers"? I am a professional educator and linguist committed to helping students master the English language through clarity, precision, and deep understanding.

With a Bachelor of Education in English & Literature (Second Class Upper Honors) and currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Linguistics, I offer a high-level academic approach that is tailored to each student's unique needs. Whether you are preparing for international exams or need to refine your linguistic research, I am here to guide you toward excellence.

What I Offer:
IGCSE & KCSE English Excellence: Specialist support for First Language English and Literature. I focus on exam techniques, critical analysis, and the specific marking schemes required for top grades.

Advanced Linguistics Coaching: Specialized assistance in Phonetics, Syntax, and Semantics. I utilize tools like Praat for acoustic phonetic analysis to help students understand the science of speech.

Academic Editing & Proofreading: Using my experience as a freelance editor, I help university students and professionals polish their theses and manuscripts using MS Word Track Changes and APA/MLA standards.

Functional Writing & Literacy: From creative writing to professional editorial strategy, I help students develop a "royal" and commanding command of written English.

Why Choose Me?
TSC Registered: I am a government-recognized teacher (TSC No: 1160865) with formal classroom experience at the secondary level.

Research-Driven: My current Master’s research allows me to bring the latest linguistic theories and methodologies into our lessons.

Multilingual Perspective: Fluent in English, Kiswahili, and Kikuyu, I provide a unique perspective on bilingualism and language acquisition.

Student-Centered: I believe in "stewardship" of my students' time. I create a calm, professional, and encouraging environment where students feel confident to ask questions and grow.
