I am a teacher ( and Cambridge graduate ) with over thirty years experience of classroom teaching, moderating, marking and setting public examinations. Over the last ten years I have enjoyed tutoring a large number of students on a one-to-one basis, from Junior school years to college undergraduates. My specialisation is English, but I also teach; Maths and History to GCSE level and have extensive experience of Junior School tuition and school entrance examinations.

Whether for a 'quick fix' towards examination entry or a longer term building of confidence, it has been a real pleasure to have assisted the progress of many students.

I have been told that my approach is bubbly and friendly, but with some great academic results! I have also had some enviable success in coaching towards local selective school entry.

Availability: Weekday evenings and some availability during the day and weekends. Increased availability during school and college holidays.

Experience: Over thirty years Secondary school teaching experience within a number of Comprehensive schools in and around London, Essex and Berkshire. ( Park House school Newbury. Little Heath School Tilehurst. Reading College.)
Adult Education ( A-level. Open Learning. Teacher Training.)
I have also 'home - taught' students with Special Educational needs, including a number on the autistic spectrum.
Head of English. Pastoral Responsibilities.
I have marked, moderated and set papers for current main examining boards.
