Information about Abby

I am an enthusiastic, capable and professional Secondary Head of English. I have a definitive passion for English Literature and have done since studying which I constantly embed into both my lessons and tutoring sessions. I have a BA in English Literature for which I achieved a First for my Dissertation and a 2:1 overall, and in 2014 I was awarded my PGCE in Secondary English.
I have been described by my employers as a `creative and positive teacher` that `constantly encourages and motivates my pupils`, and have been awarded `Outstanding` lesson observations by OFSTED.
I believe that success within English comes not only from hard work within lessons but also independent work from students, and I try to implement this by approaching topics in a way that would inspire students to continue thinking about the lessons after they have left the classroom or tutoring session. I encourage students to research the areas themselves, or read more than what has been covered in the session and I hope to inspire development of personal interest in the subject in a way I remember my own teachers doing with me. I put this down to one of the key reasons that my students have succeeded within English.
My experience in the teaching profession means that I have come across many students from many walks of life and can appreciate that not every student is passionate about English; however I do believe that every student can succeed, and will endeavour to nurture and encourage all students, no matter their opinion or capability towards the subject.

Availability: I am available from late afternoon to evenings from Monday to Thursday. Those times do vary but I am happy to work with individuals once they have demonstrated an interest in my services.

Willing to travel: 4 miles

Experience: I have been teaching for the last six years in two schools - one in the South West of England and one currently in London; they are two of the most successful English departments in the country.
I have experience with teaching KS3, GCSE and A-Level and a variety of different courses and topics. I am well-versed in the new GCSE specification and have completed both GCSE and A-Level marking for AQA, the lead qualification provider.
My GCSE and A-Level results have always been above average; 90% of my A-Level students achieved above their predicted grades with A*s, and my previous GCSE class gained 100% pass rate with the majority achieving the new GCSE grades 7-9.
I have previously tutored GCSE, A-Level and Mature students. Whilst at University I also worked with Primary school students with the tutoring charity, Team Up which involved visiting Primary schools in London and assisting struggling students with their grammar and spelling.

Abby is a great teacher. Well prepared, friendly, and constructive. My daughter is enjoying and getting a lot out of her GCSE revision sessions with Abby and I would highly recommend her to others.

Abby is an amazing teacher. She was able to tailor each session to ensure it was relevant, useful and applicable to my sons academic needs. Her patience enabled my son to not only understand the lesson content, but she also encouraged him to challenge himself to raise his attainment level. I would highly recommend Abby to anyone wanting to improve their English-especially those working towards their GCSEs.
