I am a fully qualified English teacher with 10 years’ experience of teaching English and English Literature GCSE, AS/A Level, IELTs, English as a Foreign or Additional Language. Whether you are interested in studying for an examination or simply for your own enjoyment I have the experience and ability to help you to gain confidence and succeed in reading, writing, speaking and listening.
I believe that all students have the ability to achieve strong grades and a high level of English proficiency in English and English Literature with an appropriate level of support. This is why I deliver tutoring sessions which are individual and personalised.
Prior to the first lesson we will discuss (either by phone or email) the needs of the tutee and the targets for the end of the tutoring period. From this an individual, bespoke programme of study will be created and used to ensure that the tutee achieves their full potential.
