I’m a qualified English teacher with 10+ years of experience. I am passionate about Language and Literature, as the former gives you the keys to express yourself fully and the latter is a prism that can help you see the world (or even yourself!) with new eyes.

I majored in English Literature at university and had a year studying Linguistics alongside this, so I've studied and taught a variety of subjects within the broader umbrella of 'English'. I can help students with English homework, with any written work, and offer conversation or presentation coaching to improve their speaking.

Over my career I’ve taught 11-18 year-olds, and 19+ adults who had English as a second language, so I've experience of teaching a wide variety of skill levels and types of students.

I can help students with additional study and exam preparation for GCSEs or even A-Levels, regardless of any specific set texts or exam boards, as I have had plenty of experience adapting my teaching and my lesson content to match these variables. I have a lot of experience working with students with Special Educational Needs, so I excel at tailoring learning to meet the needs of students, whatever their academic ability.

I am committed to education for all students, as not only do I find it personally rewarding to know that I'm helping others, but also I strongly believe that through education we raise understanding and thereby build confidence & agency in young people.

I have high standards for my students, reflected by high standards for myself as a teacher. I know that working together with students to find learning methods which work for them is what makes the difference in the student-teacher relationship, and it's that relationship which is the most critical foundation when building towards success.
