I am a highly experienced, inspirational teacher of English Language and Literature, offering engaging, interesting lessons, to increase KS3, GCSE and A Level grades. I provide constructive feedback on assessments, classwork, reading assignments, and home study. My specialism is teaching/tutoring A Level, IGCSE, GCSE, KS3. I am also an AQA Associate Examiner, and have extensive teaching experience in the both the state and private sector.
I have over 20 years teaching experience, many as Head of English. My marking is recognised by Ofsted as being 'Outstanding and personalised, with ongoing teacher/student dialogue.' Following Ofsted recommendations, my departmental marking policy was adopted fully by all subjects and made school policy.
I offer a clear, stepped approach to success - a positive student/teacher/parent relationship, a supportive, friendly learning environment, nurturing self-belief, confidence and aspiration to raise attainment. I provide all resources - they are included in the fee. I provide close marking and feedback on all set work. I am also happy to tutor students in pairs or up to a class of four, at a reduced rate per student. Please contact me for further advice/ guidance about this. I also offer lessons over the summer school holiday period, as continuation of study, instead of a long summer break, can be shown to support/promote learning.
