This is my 24th year of teaching within the various sectors of education in the UK and abroad. I have worked with a wide range of students in various capacities including Head of Department. Literature is my true passion.

Update

The 20th of August 2020 was a very good day; I had several emails, texts and phone calls from my students and their parents because they all achieved quite remarkable results at A-level and GCSE. It is such a joy to know that they are on a path to success. I love literature and have been teaching for 24 years across the age groups and abilities in the public and private sectors. I was Head of English at two independent colleges and have worked abroad teaching Business English to adults and EFL to foreign students. I have been an examiner for the AQA, and an OCR A-level moderator. Ofsted graded me `outstanding` for instilling my pupils with a love of the written word. I have worked in a special school and had training in how to deal with autism, Asperger`s, dyslexia, dyspraxia, etc. Recently I have been tutoring for the Common Entrance exams and helped a boy get into the prestigious Stowe School.

Availability: Recent events have freed up some of my time so I am available regularly throughout the summer.

I have recently restarted home visits if the environment is safe.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I do tend to focus on A-level English Literature but I am fully conversant with the requirements of all of the exam boards at GCSE level and have participated in exam marking for some of them.
