Karen

I have been a teacher for 34 years. I currently teach English to ages 11-18. I have spent many years specialising in 16-18 Education, so am very experienced at GCSE and A Level. I have worked as a Senior Examiner for GCSE English Language for 20 years. I have an MA in the Teaching and Practice of Creative Writing and a PhD in Creative and Critical Writing. I have experience of teaching Creative Writing in University and was also Chief Examiner for the A Level in Creative Writing.
My first degree was in English and French, and I have a PGCE in English with Modern Languages, but for the last 14 years I have taught English, with Creative Writing at A Level as an additional activity. I am Deputy Head of English in my current school.
I enjoy teaching at all levels and believe I have excellent skills in supporting learners to gain confidence whether with basic skills in Year 7 or aiming for a top grade at A Level.

Note: I teach Language and Literature at GCSE. I teach Literature only at A Level.
