- Texts I've taught include: An Inspector Calls, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, A Christmas Carol, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and A View from the Bridge, amongst many others

- Selecting and modifying resources in line with students' individual requirements

- Developing an understanding of each unique student and adapting my teaching style accordingly


RESULTS:
