As a teacher, I have a range of skills and can teach English at all levels and abilities from the first year to GCSE to A level. I have expert knowledge at all English modules and exam requirements from year 7 to Year 11 and was responsible for planning, preparing, teaching, marking for all year groups and abilities.

I have taught one to one, group work and full size classes. I have got many students through their GCSE and improved their grades. I also have extensive experience in SEND and EAL. I have an excellent working knowledge of the English school curriculum and work closely with all English Departments and exam boards at all times. I also have a first class honours degree in English Literature and Language and have extensive experience with teaching drama and being a drama facilitator so am also good with voice and public speaking and confidence building. I have achieved great success within my field. I have evidence of improving all grades at all levels and am excellent at differentiating and tailoring material to the students needs. One of my strengths is taking a creative and methodical approach in helping students who find it difficult to access the curriculum and struggle with literacy, context, content knowledge, grammar, analysis and relevant quotes. I can also challenge high ability students as well as I have a First. I am reliable, punctual, enthusiastic and good humoured. I am a parent and have a son who graduated from Loughborough University with a 2-1 so am hugely empathic to parents needs and achieving the best for their children. I am a first rate teacher and have evidence of that through high Performance Management results in the classroom.
