My teaching experience spans over 25 years and I have worked in schools in the United Kingdom, Spain and Singapore. I specialise in English Literature at A-Level and G.C.S.E./O-Level. I am also a language specialist and have taught English G.C.S.E. and O-Level in the UK and Singapore and English as a second language to students in Spain.

I have run three English Departments - one in the UK and two in Singapore, and I have worked on the A-Level Curriculum Development Commitee in two Colleges in Singapore. I have also worked on the development of A-Level Literature programmes for the Singapore Examination and Assessment Board and the Univesity of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate.

Having worked in RJC/Raffles Institution, one of the most highly respected A-Level Colleges in South-East Asia, where top grades are demanded by both the school and the parents, and tuition is a part of everyday life for most students, I can strongly recommend the benefits of tuition. As a tutor, I will ensure that students benefit from my experience and my commitment to helping them achieve the very best they can.

Lessons are one on one. We explore close reading of texts in an academic dialogue sometimes supported by PowerPoint presentations and other supporting materials. I can teach in person in the Winchester area or online anywhere.

Here are some typical comments from a students I have taught online:


'My results came in, and I got 85% in English! There's no way I'd have been able to get anywhere near that high without the humungous effort you put in to help bring me up to speed.
Thank you so much.'
(Online student - New Zealand)

'The passion you have for the subject has made me even more awed by the beauty of Literature.'
(College student-Singapore)

'I just want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for having faith in me and empowering me.'
(Online student-Singapore)
