As an experienced classroom, online and one to one teacher, I have enjoyed teaching English Language and English Literature for over three decades. I was rated as an Outstanding teacher in June 2008 and September 2012 by OFSTED.

I am very happy to tutor remotely via WhatsApp, Meet or Teams. I email resources to the tutee beforehand (usually a detailed bespoke PowerPoint) and refer to these throughout the lesson. Parents and students then have their own copy for revision.

I have achieved success with all ages and abilities. My results have always been excellent, consistently adding value to predicted grades and levels in KS2, KS3, KS4 and A Level.

Since retiring from the classroom, I have enjoyed tutoring individual students since 2014. I am always praised by parents for the intricate preparation of each lesson, the engaging delivery and for the detailed marking of homework, which I always reflect upon with the student in the next lesson to further enhance their learning.

In addition, I have always been a very popular teacher with all students, always able to quickly connect with each learner. I like to identify the learning needs of the student by firstly looking at examples of work then addressing areas that need intervention by short, enjoyable activities that enable me to give instant feedback to both the parent and the student.

I have a very detailed knowledge of the AQA, Eduqas, OCR, Cambridge and EdExcel/International Edexcel GCSE examination boards and have externally marked the AQA English Language Paper One for the past eight years, so I have a very detailed knowledge of what the board are looking for in order to achieve full marks. I have also externally marked the AQA Paper 2. This knowledge is transferable to the other exam boards, so I am acutely aware of what students need to do to achieve a high grade.

I have also externally marked the Cambridge O Level English Language exam for overseas students, as well as the International Edexcel GCSE for students in UAE and Dubai.
