Qualifications on file
BIO

I am a QTS fully qualified English teacher with almost 10 years of classroom and tutoring experience, specialising in GCSE / IGCSE and KS3 English Language and Literature.

I hold a BA (Hons) in English Language and Linguistics from York St John University and a PGCE in Secondary English from The University of York. My academic background gives me a strong foundation in both the technical aspects of language and the analytical skills required for high-level literary study.

I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring students aged 11–18 in English Literature, English Language and Drama. Over the past decade, I have supported students of all abilities — from those building confidence in core skills to high-achievers aiming for top grades.

I specialise in 1:1 and small group tuition, tailoring each session to the individual needs of my students. My approach is structured, supportive and exam-focused, helping students to:

  • Develop strong analytical and essay-writing skills

  • Master exam techniques and timing

  • Build confidence in reading, writing and interpretation

  • Strengthen grammar and technical accuracy

  • Prepare thoroughly for GCSE / IGCSE examinations

I pride myself on creating a calm, encouraging learning environment where students feel supported and motivated to achieve their full potential.
