I am an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher who always wants to see my pupils achieve their potential. I have been teaching English, Media Studies and Film Studies at a large Ipswich secondary school for the past seven years. Previously I have been Key Stage 3 co-ordinator and I am now currently Head of Media Studies. Previously I have been an English Literature examiner for AQA and have now changed over to be an examiner for the new AQA 9-1 English Language exam.

I graduated with a First Class Masters degree in Comparative Literature from the University of Glasgow and went straight into a teaching career where I gained my Qualified Teacher Status as an outstanding trainee.

In my own teaching I cover Romeo and Juliet, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls and poetry. I am a examiner for EDUQAS English Lang component 2.
