I am a fully qualified English Language & Literature teacher. I have a Bachelor of Arts with Honours Degree & a Masters' Degree in Linguistics from Bangor University. I’m friendly, easy going and have had excellent results by building good relationships with my students.

I am educated to PhD level in Linguistics and I have over 10 years experience of tutoring / teaching English Language & Literature, EFL / ESOL and IELTS at different institutions from tutoring privately, to tutoring at Community Centres, Schools and at Universities.

I primarily tutor English at Nat 5 / GCSE and Highers / A-Levels though I have plenty of experience teaching English as a foreign / Second language to all ages and levels both casually and professionally as well as academic English.

I am also able to assist in the research methodology component of Nat 5 / Higher Psychology. I Can also teach KS2 as well but prefer to start from KS3 as the youngest target clientele. I do prefer to work with teens and adults but will consider younger. I currently lecture research methodology and English at an international College. I am also an examiner for Cambridge for the English general comprehension paper and the English Language paper.

I have had a passion for language and assisting people with their learning since a very early age. I write poetry and, as as a lover of science fiction and fantasy, I engage in world building and write fantasy novels. My lessons are tailored to the needs of individuals. My approach is patient, compassionate and scholarly.

I enjoy sharing wisdom with my students and cultivating a passion for learning for the sake of learning. I am also flexible, if extra time is needed or a change in location or day or time of session is required, I can accommodate.

Please be advised that I am disabled, part of my disability is limited mobility. I therefore prefer online or to meet students in very nearby neutral locations. I am based in Cambuslang where there are plenty of coffee shops/cafes.

Teaching is my passion – I endeavour to create a safe and welcoming environment, where questions are welcomed, and we learn that it’s okay to mistakes as it is part of the learning process. When teaching, I hope to portray the view that although English can be a challenge, it is one to be relevelled in.

The ability to experience each student’s progress at every stage is incredibly rewarding and a wonderful part of my role as a tutor.

I look forward to teaching your child! I look forward to hearing from you soon!
