Qualified, enthusiastic, engaging English tutor
I am a creative, energetic and engaging qualified teacher of English, who is passionate about teaching and learning. Resourceful and ambitious, I work incredibly hard to meet the needs of my students, catering lessons to respond to individual learning styles and requirements. My intention is that all my students will continue to manifest a new potential, reaching exciting heights in their English education.
I have experience working with students from KS1 to KS5, most recently spending 5 years working as a Secondary and Sixth Form Teacher of English in an inner-London school. Here, whilst teaching every year group, I also took on the pastoral role of mentoring a Sixth Form tutor group for 2 years. Prior to this, I have experience working as Teaching Assistant within SEN and EAL departments.
