Personal Description: Hi there! I am a friendly, enthusiastic and passionate teacher of English. I love working with children and have excellent experience of teaching in Secondary schools in Scotland and giving private tuition on a one to one basis. I am also au fait with the National Curriculum in England as I am currently teaching English at a College in Leicestershire. At the moment, I teach pupils GCSE English Language and Literature and A level Language and Literature. Therefore, I can help your child to complete or enhance their coursework and exam skills.
I am always thoroughly prepared so that every pupil can get the most out of each session and feel confident. As exams are coming up soon, I would be happy to help anyone who needs guidance with exam preparation or essay writing skills. I offer lessons from Year 7 to Year 13, including A level.
I am a qualified teacher and have a MSc in Comparative Literature from The University of Edinburgh (with distinction) and a BA in English from the University of York. My approach is simple: lessons should always help children to think for themselves and to learn important lessons about themselves and others - this is something that studying literature can offer.
Do contact me via email or text! Do not hesitate to contact me in the evenings as well… I am more than happy to travel to you… I look forward to hearing from you!

Tutoring Experience: I have worked for three years in the following Secondary schools in Scotland: at Breadalbane Academy, Perthshire, Perth Academy, Perthshire and in various other schools in Perth as a Supply teacher. I have also taught at a SEBD school in Warwickshire and a Secondary school in Leicester. I am currently teaching English, KS4 and Sixth form, in a Secondary school in Leicestershire.
I have also offered tuition on a one-to-one basis for a few years now. I have a current CRB (July 2011).
As I love tutoring, I would be happy to teach pupils in the evenings and at the weekend.

Tutoring Approach: I am always thoroughly prepared and bring several resources (worksheets, texts) to the lesson to ensure that the pupil is constantly working on improving their skills and understanding of English literature. I offer interactive, friendly and fun lessons that I plan prior to the lesson. My sessions are usually highly structured and involve a mixture of language work and analysis of literature. I try to provide homework for the pupil to complete during the week to ensure continuity between lessons. I set targets during the first lesson and review these every few lessons to ensure the pupil is making good progress. A discernible progress is evident after a few lessons: my recent tutees went from a B to an A within a matter of a few sessions and a D to a B. This summer, I contributed towards the 83% A* - C grades in my department. I also helped 6 students to get an A* grade in English at GCSE. If you would like to achieve similar success for your child, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me!
