Tutoring Experience
Having worked as a qualified English teacher and English Lead in London schools for many years, I am now an Education Consultant, working with English departments across London schools to help them improve their results. I am also an experienced Senior Examiner for English Literature with exam board AQA. I originally trained through the competitive Teach 1st Leadership Development Programme, and have since worked in both the independent and state sectors, with young people from all walks of life.
I believe all young people can and should succeed, and I enjoy working unflaggingly hard with them to help them do so. Whether the mission is to achieve a Grade 9, that vital Grade 5 for college, or something inbetween, everyone deserves to achieve, and with determination this is possible for anyone.
