BIO

I'm a highly qualified and experienced Secondary and Sixth-Form teacher with a strong academic background and a passion for supporting students to achieve their full potential.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science from Newcastle University, alongside a PGCE in Secondary Education from Sheffield Hallam University. I achieved Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) through the highly regarded Teach First programme, reflecting both my academic capability and my commitment to educational excellence.

I teach Physical Education at Key Stages 3 and 4 and at Sixth Form level, bringing subject expertise, real-world application, and a strong understanding of examination requirements. In addition, I teach GCSE Biology and GCSE Health and Social Care, offering students clear, structured, and engaging lessons that build both knowledge and confidence.

With over five years of teaching and tutoring experience, I am skilled at adapting my approach to suit individual learners. I place a strong emphasis on exam technique, subject understanding, and motivation, ensuring students feel supported while being challenged appropriately. My teaching style is inclusive, encouraging, and results-focused, making me particularly effective with students aiming to improve grades or build confidence in their studies.

I am committed to high standards, clear communication, and personalised learning, making me a valuable tutor for students across a range of abilities and academic pathways.
