Why I Teach
My journey as an educator began with a love for literature and a desire to share that passion with others. I believe that literature is not just about reading books; it's about exploring new ideas, understanding different perspectives, and developing critical thinking skills. Teaching allows me to inspire students to appreciate the richness of literature while equipping them with the skills they need to succeed academically.
I am motivated by the transformative power of education and the impact it can have on a student's life. Watching my students grow in confidence, improve their grades, and achieve their academic dreams is the most rewarding part of my job. Whether it's helping a GCSE student grasp Shakespeare or guiding a PhD candidate through complex research, I am dedicated to making a difference in my students' educational journeys.
