Kim

I have been teaching at KS3, GCSE and A-level since 2002. I am passionate about English and learning. I believe that as a student of English you develop the most essential, influential and indispensable skills for me, there is nothing more rewarding than enabling and supporting the success of the young people I work with.

I am also an experienced examiner of GCSE English Language, GCSE English Literature and moderator of A-Level English Literature. My in-depth understanding of these examinations has allowed me to successfully support my students and colleagues to achieve excellent results. I am proud of my track record of being consistently judged as an `outstanding` practitioner throughout my career.

I completed my teacher training at Birmingham University in 2003, and I was awarded a PGCE in History and English. Subsequently, I taught English, Maths and Humanities to KS3 students, before being promoted to the role of Assistant Area Leader for English. More recently, I have led the English department as a whole.

I believe that we are all learners. As such, I actively seek out opportunities to observe and collaborate with colleagues from the Primary sector as well as Secondary. I also ensure that I maintain an up-to-date knowledge of current research and teaching and learning methodology. This enables me to provide every student with the best tuition possible, suiting their individual needs.

Availability: I currently have availability to tutor students in my home tuition room on Monday and Tuesday afternoons and evenings. I am also able to offer on-line tuition at more flexible times, as well as some sessions duing the school day for students who are being home-schooled.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: Throughout my 14 year career teaching English, I have successfully taught a range of students. I have a track record of success with all abilities and age groups. My experience includes the teaching of whole classes, small groups and one-to-one tuition.

I have also mentored Newly Qualified Teachers and those completing teacher training.
