About

Started teaching as a trainee in 2016 after a career in journalism, public affairs, and campaigning. Gained PGCE and QTS, have pursued a career as an English teacher in secondary schools in Barnet, tutoring throughout.

From marking the GCSEs I have honed the exam technique preparation in which I specialise. In October 2024 I left classroom teaching to research and write a book.

I have a clear DBS on the update service, and am a full member of our professional body, TTA.

My watchwords are fun and conscientiousness. Combining that seemingly paradoxical pairing works for me, for my pupils, and for life in general. We learn best when we are enjoying ourselves.
