A Double First in French and Spanish from Cambridge, Ananya specialises in modern languages, essay writing and personal statements, and teaches students to check and correct their own work.

Ananya

Ananya graduated from Trinity College, University of Cambridge in 2014 with a Double First in Modern and Medieval Languages, specialising in French and Spanish. She then won a full academic scholarship for an MPhil in Management at Judge Business School, completing a consulting project with Lloyds Banking Group, and in 2016 gained an MA in History of Art from the Courtauld Institute of Art, focusing on French eighteenth-century works.

Ananya has worked across art, fashion and music, from interning with Picasso’s granddaughter in Paris to roles at Tom Ford and Sotheby’s in London, and helped raise £10 million for a new theatre for Grange Park Opera. She first taught through peer sessions at A-level, and during her first summer at Cambridge won a grant to teach English in Madagascar, running sessions in French for healthcare professionals, police officers and young people. She has tutored privately since 2015.

Ananya focuses on helping students improve their own work by spotting and correcting errors themselves. She also shows them how to find and use good learning resources so they can work independently, and works with each student to discover which learning and revision methods suit them best.
