I am a professional, friendly and engaging qualified teacher with extensive experience working with students one-to-one and in a classroom setting. Having taught KS3 English and GCSE English, I have an extensive knowledge of the English curriculum, core exam boards and research-based pedagogy. I graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a first class degree and and have obtained an MA (with distinction) in English Literature from King’s College London. I have a strong academic background and critical understanding of English as an academic discipline.

As a lover of literature and language, I bring my enthusiasm and passion for the subject into my work with young people and am fully committed to the progress and well-being of each of my students.

Experience: I have taught English in a London secondary school for the past three years, successfully taking multiple classes through their English literature and English language GCSEs. I have extensive knowledge of the 9-1 specification, and specifically the AQA GCSE syllabus, having been trained directly by the exam board.

With extensive experience teaching in mixed-attainment settings, I am committed to developing teaching approaches and materials that are catered to the needs and strengths of each individual learner. I take a friendly and motivating approach in order for students to engage with and appreciate the subject in order to make progress.
