I am bubbly, passionate and very empathic. I have extensive experience both personally and professionally in dealing with SEMH and SEND needs, particularly Anxiety and Autism, and I love to be understanding and kind with everyone I meet.

ENGLISH
I am extremely passionate about English Language and particularly Literature. My specialties are GCSEs including Shakespeare, Texts and Poetry.

I love teaching students how to dissect the demands of each paper and allocate appropriate timings for each question and a unique planning template that helps them in all essay subjects. The 2 key marking requirements are Spelling/grammar and structured content. By using this simple template, students can separate the 2 and pay particular attention to one at a time, 'thought-dumping' their instinctive answers onto the page (resulting in a structured plan) and then focussing on the spelling and grammar as they write up the content of each box they've just completed.

I include revision timetabling in my sessions so that students feel fully ready for their exams. I feel it is paramount to help my students feel they can transfer the skills they learn in English or Drama with me into their future endeavours.

I teach simple, short 'mindset' techniques that I gleaned from personal development and from being a successful business owner and I incorporate tips from Acting to easily understand the characters, plot and remember quotes easily.

Though I mostly teach GCSE, I have a lot of experience and success with younger secondary school students, 11+ assessments and entry exams.

DRAMA/SINGING
Alongside my tutoring, I am a qualified and experienced professional Actress and Singer. I have performed in leads roles in the West End/on tour and embarked on training with RSC when I was at one of the top UK Drama Schools, Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. I've taught Singing, Dance and Drama to ages 4-Adult since 1999. I sing professionally at Weddings and Events and run my own theatre school at 2 studios in the UK.

I love teaching small groups or individuals. I teach online outside of school hours, but can sometimes accommodate some in-person tuition locally during school hours.
