Experienced English teacher for GCSE and A level with years of great results

My students would describe me as equal parts tenacious and relentlessly positive; I love and have always loved my job. In every teaching capacity I work in, I insist on enthusiasm and motivation, making it my goal to make sure my students leave their time with me loving literature and writing as much as I do!

Having been teaching for nearly 10 years, my current role is Deputy Head of English at a large state school in Birmingham. My approach to tutoring has been modelled over years of establishing what works best for students in a 1:1 setting, taking the best bits of my classroom practice and tailoring them to what the students I tutor need in terms of content, metacognitive strategies and pedagogy in general.
