I am a hardworking, dedicated and passionate qualified Secondary English teacher in Sheffield. I am well versed with the AQA exam boards and have taught and tutored GCSE English Literature and Language, A Level English Literature, A Level Psychology AQA, and A Level Philosophy AQA since 2013.

I trained at The Silverdale School in Sheffield and currently work at Birley Academy. I specialise in teaching exam technique but I am also well versed in teaching the course specification too. I have been highly successful over my 12 years of tutoring and have watched my pupils grow in confidence as they see their grades improve with understanding of exam technique and mark schemes.

I am also a Head of Year and love the pastoral nature of teaching and tutoring. I firmly believe that nurture and praise results in the most successful students.

Tutoring Experience

Private tutor for 12 years.
Qualified teacher for 7 years.

Tutoring Approach

I am patient yet very passionate about the subjects that I teach and I adore working with and building working relationships with students.

I specialise in teaching understanding of the mark scheme and explain what the student must do to be successful.

I give detailed essay feedback and tailor my approach to the students’ needs.

I always try to make lessons enjoyable and try my best to simplify the more complex information that students often struggle to comprehend.
