About

I am an expert in guiding students to make significant gains in their English skills. I teach order, systems and approaches, helping to cut through the noise to find what works. My goal is for students to leave me with a greater understanding of the richness of language, and knowing they have structures and routines they can rely on.

As a dedicated tutor, my students are my sole focus. I no longer work a 60 hour teaching week and fit tutoring in around the edges; I am devoted to helping my students find success and confidence. I never take on more than ten students at a time to ensure I have the time to understand each student and plan for their needs.

As a GCSE examiner for AQA I keep up to date with the very latest developments in the specifications, as well as maintaining my wider subject-specific and pedagogical CPD, all of which means I can do my best for the students in my care.
