Bachelors/Masters Degree graduate. 25+ years of English & Film GCSE/A Level teaching experience. Examiner

I have a PGCE, Masters and a Bachelor's Degree in English and have taught English and Film in sixth forms since 1999. I have experience of teaching English from basic skills to A Level and happily support undergraduates and help with post-graduate research. Indeed, I have taught pupils as young as seven to those in their seventies. I specialise in GCSE and A Level English Language & Literature teaching and have examined for AQA and EDUQAS boards since 2001, including seven years of leading exam teams and teaching them how to examine. It is, therefore, fair to say that I have an excellent grasp of what examiners are looking for and can ensure exam success. I also have management experience (since 2003) and have led A Level teachers/courses in English Language, English Literature and English Language & Literature. As well as teaching, I have managed several A Level and BTEC departments of a local college where I was also a senior leader. Finally, my coaching experience, helping other teachers to improve their practice, started when I qualified as a mentor at Manchester Metropolitan University in 2015.
