About Sidra

I'm a Classical Studies graduate from the University of Edinburgh, heading into a Masters of Research there this September. I have A*s in English Literature and Classical Studies at A Level and spent four years writing analytical essays at degree level, finishing with a 14,000-word dissertation. My love for literature and classics has only grown and my aim is to pursue a PhD after my Masters and go on to be a professor within the field. I'm passionate about keeping the humanities alive and showing students that close reading and essay writing are genuinely valuable skills, not just boxes to tick for grades. My years of experience with essay-based subjects mean I can help students engage critically and intellectually with texts in a way that goes beyond the syllabus.

My sessions focus on close reading of set texts, unpicking language, themes, and context before building into well-structured arguments. For classics, I draw on four years studying everything from poetry and literature to ancient philosophy and ancient history and culture. For essay writing, I will guide students to understand how to structure their essays and hit the assessment objectives so they can show genuine analytical depth and not just surface-level summary. Essay structure and understanding of texts will then enable unseen questions to come naturally. Sessions typically run one to two hours and are aimed at GCSE and A Level students in English Literature and Classical Studies.
