I have been teaching English in London for 27 years at secondary school level. I have lived in Wanstead for 15years. I am married with a child. I am outgoing and friendly. I love reading, film and spending time with friends and family.

Tutoring Experience

I have been at my current school for 20 years. I was head of English for 5 years. I am now in charge of teaching and learning in the English Dept. As well as being a classroom teacher and a tutor, I have also worked as a GCSE examiner over many years, marking Language and Literature papers so have a good understanding of what examiners are looking for.

Tutoring Approach

I have tutored many students over the years and know that one-to-one teaching can make a real impact on understanding and attainment especially now that the content of GCSE Language and Literature is now so much more challenging. I always make sure I listen to what the students feel they need the most assistance in and will tailor my tutoring to fit their needs. I have built up a good rapport over the years with all my tutees and am keen to make sure they feel comfortable with me. Presently I am unable to travel to tutees unless they are within walking distance.
