I tutor online via Zoom with interactive elements to engage each learner. Each session is prepared individually for the student.
I am a specialist English and drama teacher and creative practitioner, a current GCSE and LAMDA examiner, with over 24 years experience working with learners of all ages, across the ability spectrum.
It is a privilege to be able to work with students from all walks of life. I take a great pride in my work, and do so with an open, engaging and ‘can do’ approach. After all, FAIL is simply the first attempt in learning – and sometimes it may take us more than once for something to ‘click’ and then we SAIL!
With my expertise and passion for my work, I am ideally placed to provide learners with the range of skills needed to approach exams with both the confidence and the skill-set to ensure each student feels they can do their best.
You may be looking for a focus on composition, comprehension or speaking and listening skills, or to take a step back making sure the building blocks are in place from which to develop. I am also skilled at focusing on exam and revision technique, and I take a pride in preparing learners for public speaking (essential at KS4).
Additionally, I am ideally enabled to work with youngsters requiring a little extra support across a wide range of learning skills.
I firmly believe that the more confident and relaxed the learning space is, the more the learning happens naturally – and includes some humour and a lightness of touch at times.
