I am a secondary school teacher with over 20 years of experience. I love teaching and really enjoy working with all of my students. I firmly believe that understanding how a student learns is fundamental to delivering lessons in a way that best suits them.Students often come to lessons lacking in confidence or worried about what will be expected of them. You will come to enjoy our sessions. The most important thing is to put you at ease as soon as possible, then to find out what it is that you want. To help you achieve this I employ all kinds of strategies to help you learn and remember. You`ll be amazed at how many ways there are to learn and you`ll find that these will be useful for you right across the curriculum. You will be able to walk into your exam confident that you can perform to the best of your ability and you will be inspired to love the subject too.

Experience: I am a secondary school teacher with over 20 years teaching experience. I currently tutor Sociology up to degree level, Spanish at GCSE and English at GCSE and A-level. I have also taught English as a foreign language to adults (IELTS, TOEFL & Cambridge) and prepared students for Cambridge examinations (PET, FIRST and Cambridge Advance Online). I am extremely familiar with all exam boards including Edexcel, AQA, WJEC,EDUQAS and Cambridge and therefore recognise the current academic demands placed upon students.
My main teaching subject is English and I specialise in IGCSE. I have also been the pastoral head of the lower school and an academic attainment leader. I also provide language intervention and oral language modification in secondary schools.

I have worked as an examiner and team leader for several exam boards for 20 years and therefore have excellent knowledge and insight into exam requirements for English language and English literature. I have also worked with the examination boards on KS2 and KS3 SATS.
