I am a qualified secondary English teacher and experienced GCSE tutor with a calm, structured approach that helps students make rapid, measurable progress. I specialise in KS3 and KS4 English Language and Literature, with a particular focus on strengthening AO2 analysis and building clear, confident exam technique.

My background includes a First in Law and over ten years of mentoring and educational support. I hold an enhanced DBS and have worked in London academies as well as with the national charity Action Tutoring, supporting students from a wide range of abilities and backgrounds.

Comments About Me:
Parents describe my lessons as clear, focused and encouraging. Many students come to me feeling unsure about English, and within a short time they begin to write with greater accuracy, purpose and confidence.

Outside the classroom, I have spoken publicly about education and lifelong learning, with media appearances on BBC Radio, The Guardian, Metro and Asian Voice.

Experience: I completed my teacher training at Kingston University and have taught GCSE English Language and Literature in several London academies. Working across KS3 and KS4, I have supported students of all abilities, from those who lack confidence to high achievers aiming for top grades. My teaching centres on strengthening AO2 analytical skills, developing clear essay structures, and building the exam techniques students need to succeed.

Alongside school-based teaching, I tutor with the charity Action Tutoring, providing targeted support for students who require additional help to close learning gaps. This work has deepened my understanding of how to build confidence in learners who feel overwhelmed by English, and how to guide them towards steady, measurable progress.

These combined experiences have shaped a calm and structured teaching style that helps students focus, think more clearly, and grow into capable and independent writers.

I have a calm and kind approach to teaching, ensuring a supportive and welcoming environment where students feel comfortable and encouraged. I tailor my methods to each individual, adapting my lessons to suit their learning style and specific needs, whether it’s improving comprehension, essay structure, or exam strategies.
