My teaching style is built around a structured three-step process aimed at fostering a deep understanding of the subject. First, I encourage students to ‘blurt’—to express their current knowledge, allowing us to tap into their existing understanding. From there, I assess their strengths and areas for improvement. Finally, we work together to address any gaps, ensuring a comprehensive grasp of the material.

I believe the exam specification should serve not as a boundary, but as a tool to help students achieve their best possible results. My goal is to equip students with the skills and confidence to not only meet but exceed exam expectations. By focusing on both the requirements of the exam and a broader understanding of English, I aim to provide a well-rounded learning experience.

With a deep passion for literature and extensive experience engaging with all forms of the English language—whether academic, creative, or professional—I bring a rich perspective to my lessons. Each session is tailored to the individual, whether it’s enhancing essay writing, improving grammar, or exploring the beauty of literature. I strive to create an engaging and supportive environment, ensuring students are not just prepared for exams, but also inspired by the language itself.

Learning should be both enjoyable and effective, and I’m committed to helping my students succeed through personalised, dynamic lessons.
