Patricia

I am a fully qualified English teacher with extensive experience of the Curriculum at KS3 and KS4 and KS5. Alongside my Masters in Education, I coach teachers within the profession as well as being an experienced AQA Examiner, thoroughly knowing the specification of the skills set required on a meticulous level. I am one of the lead markers in the English department of approximately 15 teachers and am an experienced teacher coach to support effective teaching and planning. I continue to deliver CPD training in the department about the best models of the way students learn as well as having implemented whole school policy for addressing student misconceptions for more effective learning and intervention. Having taught in a range of multi-cultural and streamed based schooling formats, I have specialist knowledge of teaching across the sets with my specialism ranging in top sets and have delivered an ongoing series of grade 9`s often supporting students to make rapid levels of progress in short periods of time as well rapid intervention for GCSE retake students. I have received educator awards from my school as well as an award from the Mayor for my contribution young people in making successful progress in their endeavours. My work has also been published in a prestigious newspaper and have had my poetry work published in an anthology used in educational settings.
