Throughout my journey as an English educator, I've witnessed numerous students achieve remarkable success in their English exams, contributing to the academic growth of many.

Teaching English brings me immense joy because it's not just a subject; it's a vibrant field with the power to transform how students perceive the world. It opens doors for personal growth and confidence that extend beyond the classroom. Every day is a new adventure and I find great fulfilment in understanding and guiding my students' unique thought processes.

I'm delighted to share I earned an outstanding grade from OFSTED, a testament to my commitment and passion for teaching.

I strongly believe that every student deserves an equal opportunity to succeed. That's why I've priced my private tuition lessons with the community in mind, ensuring that quality education is accessible to all. It's my way of contributing to a brighter future for every aspiring learner.

Having spent over two decades as a Senior Leader in my current school, my journey has gifted me with a distinctive viewpoint on education, curriculum development and guiding students. Through my leadership, I've been able to shape educational policies and create an environment that enhances the overall learning experience.

Tutoring Experience

For over 40 years, I've immersed myself in teaching secondary school English, bringing with me a rich reservoir of knowledge, expertise and an unyielding dedication to education.

Throughout the past 15 years, I've been providing private tuition across various exam boards including AQA, OCR, Cambridge, and EdExcel.

My teaching philosophy extends far beyond traditional classroom boundaries. I take immense pride in nurturing young minds, nurturing critical thinking skills and fostering an enduring passion for the beauty of the English language.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to teaching is deeply rooted in tailoring my methods to match each student's unique needs. I prioritise their growth by honing in on areas that require improvement, nurturing their self-assurance and cultivating a profound comprehension while preparing them for exams. I utilise various strategies such as scaffolding, modelling, review of mark schemes and working through past examination papers to expedite student progress.

I provide proven strategies and personalised guidance to empower students to excel in their GCSE English exams. My goal is not only to help them reach their full potential but also to ensure they attain exceptional results through personalised attention and support.

Beyond academics, I offer mentorship and unwavering support, guiding students towards building confidence, eloquence and a genuine love for English. My focus is not solely on academic growth but also on nurturing their personal development.

I offer both face to face and convenient online tutoring sessions to accommodate busy schedules, ensuring learning remains accessible from any location.
