I am a fully qualified teacher in all aspects of English: A level, AS level, GCSE, Key Stage 3 -4 to EL3-L2 Functional Skills.
For over 18 years, I have worked in a variety of diverse sixth form colleges, high schools, academies & SEND provisions across Merseyside & Greater Manchester. After lockdown, I worked in one of Wirral’s top grammar school as an English teacher covering for a colleague on an extended period maternity leave.
I am enthusiastic, approachable with a passion for helping students achieve what they thought they could not - self belief is crucial.
My lessons fun and interactive.
My students success rates are excellent I have raised some of my private students by as much as three grades higher than their predicted grades. I tailor the sessions to match their students' need and incorporate their particular learning styles to keep them engaged.
Despite the obstacles presented during the lockdown my results continue to remain excellent, with some students improving from L2 to L7 in GCSE Language and from L3 to L8 in English Literature.
