A bit about Amy B

I am a highly conscientious and reliable teaching professional with a genuine passion for literature and language, and care for students’ progression. My qualifications include: BA Degree in Literature (First Class with Honours); Masters in Creative Writing (Distinction); PGCE in Lifelong Learning; and CELTA. I have extensive experience working within a range of teaching and learning contexts, including teaching GCSE and A Level English Language and Literature to adult and younger learners; delivering one-to one specialist support to high needs learners (including those with dyslexia, communication difficulties & autism); and delivering creative writing workshops and ESOL courses in community settings. I have also worked in healthcare settings, including a specialist neurological rehabilitation team, delivering bespoke speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and physiotherapy sessions. This role required a calm, collaborative and compassionate approach and the ability to quickly develop a rapport with individuals; I am able to transfer these skills to my teaching and apply a humanist and holistic approach, effectively promoting the wellbeing of learners. I focus on building learners’ confidence through increasing enjoyment and engagement in learning, thereby enabling students to reach their full potential and achieve their academic and life goals. I enjoy creative writing and have recently had poems published in literary magazines: StepAway, Spelt, The Madrigal Press and Puca. I also enjoy keeping fit and healthy through yoga, cooking Indian food and walking. I am a huge music fan and enjoy travelling and exploring different cultures.

I also have extensive experience supporting learners with a wide range of learning requirements (including dyslexia, communication difficulties, ADHD and / or autism). My approach is communicative, collaborative and compassionate - I engage learners through highly enjoyable and creative activities to build skills & confidence. I am able to provide tailored lessons and resources to suit the needs and interests of individual learners.
