Kate

I am extremely passionate and enthusiastic about the study of English at all levels. I love nothing more than to take disinterested minds and explore the intricacies of Literature and the power of rhetoric, with a view to inspire reluctant minds. Teaching is more than just educating learners and preparing them to pass exams, it is an innate responsibility to encourage, support, and contribute towards creating a future generation of decent and empathetic human beings. I also believe that teaching is about giving young people hope and a good experience, especially as many grow up in such varied socioeconomic backgrounds encountering many issues.
