I’m a English and Psychology lecturer within a FE setting, specialist SEND/SEMH tutor based in Milton Keynes - I can work online too. I help students move from low confidence and uncertain grades to clear, structured success in exams — often improving by 2–5 grades. I pride myself on building strong, positive relationships with my students — many of whom stay with me for years.

My background in Psychology and Criminal Behaviour, alongside a PGCE in Secondary Education, shapes the way I understand how young people think, learn, and respond to challenge. This allows me to identify barriers quickly — whether cognitive, emotional, or confidence‑;;;;based — and build tailored strategies that help students feel capable, motivated, and in control of their progress.

As an examiner‑;;;;level tutor, I teach students exactly how marks are awarded and how to write with clarity, precision, and purpose. My sessions are structured, supportive, and grounded in evidence‑;;;;based practice, helping learners move from uncertainty to confidence and from predicted grades to the results they deserve.

As a SEND/SEMH specialist, I work extensively with students who benefit from additional scaffolding, emotional regulation strategies, or alternative approaches to processing information. My teaching is inclusive, patient, and centred on building trust — because students learn best when they feel safe, understood, and genuinely valued.

Parents receive transparent communication, regular progress updates, and a clear roadmap of what we’re working on and why. Whether your child needs grade‑;;;;boosting exam preparation, targeted SEND support, or a mentor who truly “gets” them, I provide tuition that is structured, empowering, and tailored to the individual.

I offer a free initial consultation to understand your child’s needs and create a personalised learning plan.

Experience: I have extensive experience teaching English across mainstream, further education, and specialist SEND/SEMH settings, working with learners from KS3 through to A‑;;;;Level. As a Senior English Lecturer, I have delivered GCSE English Language and Literature, Functional Skills, and academic writing programmes, supporting a wide range of learners including high‑;;;;achieving students, reluctant writers, and those with complex learning profiles.

Alongside mainstream teaching, I have a strong track record supporting SEND and SEMH learners, including students with ADHD, ASD, dyslexia, processing difficulties, and anxiety‑;;;;related barriers. I specialise in breaking down complex tasks, modelling cognitive strategies, and creating a calm, structured environment where students feel safe to learn and capable of succeeding.

Across all roles, my teaching has been rooted in evidence‑;;;;based practice, relational support, and high expectations. I work closely with students to build independence, resilience, and academic skill — ensuring they not only improve their grades but also understand themselves as learners.
