I am an English tutor, who is doing a PGCE in English and received a full scholarship to Cambridge. I have 2+ years of experience tutoring and a DBS check. £30 an hour! #tutoring #tutors #englishtutor #privatetutor #cambridge #education #EducationMatters
I wrote a monologue offering a reinterpretation of Persephone as a usurper of the Underworld.
Never trust a girl who uses pollen as warpaint, wears a toga covered in nettles and makes a scythe from sticks. Scythes sharp enough to slice a god's skin.

Found my happy place at the University of Cambridge surrounded by books, historical buildings and museums ❤ – at Cambridge, England
So excited to have arrived at @Cambridge_Uni to start my MPhil in Assyriology on a full scholarship for 'talented' students from low-income backgrounds awarded to me by @Cambridge_Uni and @Newnham_College. I'm beyond grateful for this opportunity and I can't wait to start. – at Cambridge, England

I've written a new article presenting my independent research on Ishtar in the Akkadian Descent of Ishtar and the fairytale Sleeping Beauty, in which I ponder whether Ishtar could be the original Sleeping Beauty. Just a thought. #ClassicsTwitter
