My Story
Having always had a love of learning, I qualified as an English Teacher in 2003, gaining my PGCE from the University of Southampton. For 16 years, I worked in a range of schools, taking on a variety of roles including Assistant Head of English and Whole School Literacy Coordinator.
When I left formal teaching, I worked as an Educational Consultant, sharing my English Language and Literature expertise as a national and international tutor and lesson designer. I have created bespoke and innovative curriculums for several international companies and received glowing reviews for my creative, original lesson development.
I am an English specialist with 19 years of experience teaching and tutoring. I hold a BA (Hons) degree in English comprising 50% English Literature and 50% Creative Writing. I have extensive knowledge of teaching English for 11+ grammar and independent school entrance exams including GL, CSSE, SET and ISEB.
In my sessions, I create a warm, inclusive, friendly learning environment where students feel valued and supported to make rapid progress.
I hold an enhanced DBS certificate and I complete a yearly Safeguarding qualification. I am a qualified Safer Recruitment leader and I follow GDPR guidelines. I am also registered with the ICO.
