I hold a BA (Hons) in English Literature and am a qualified teacher certified by the Institute of Education. I have a Masters in Creative Writing, and I have an NPQH (National Professional Qualification for Headship).
My dedication to education extends beyond the classroom I also contribute as an exam marker for AQA, which provides me with invaluable insights into assessment and exam expectations. My track record speaks for itself, as my students consistently attain remarkable results in their exams, a testament to the effectiveness of our collaborative efforts.
Beyond academic achievements, my true passion lies in nurturing students' literacy levels and igniting a fervour for Literature and Language skills. I also support with writing UCAS personal statements, tutor functional skills and study skills. I firmly believe that these skills not only empower students academically but also enrich their lives as critical thinkers and eloquent communicators.
My educational journey began in the year 2000 when I began my teaching career as a passionate classroom practitioner. From the outset, my focus has been on elevating students' achievements, and I've had the privilege of witnessing remarkable results under my guidance.
My dedication led me to specialise in fostering academic excellence. During this time, I honed my skills in igniting success within my students, guiding them to achieve outstanding results.
In my previous role as Assistant Headteacher, I was responsible for professional training and development of teachers across four schools, keeping me at the cutting edge of educational practice.
My teaching journey has been guided by an unwavering commitment to student success, a fervour for lifelong learning, and an empathetic approach to addressing individual needs.
Drawing upon my extensive classroom expertise, school manager and formal training as a qualified educator, I possess a unique ability to offer highly specialised guidance tailored to each individual student's distinct requirements. My teaching philosophy is deeply rooted in a commitment to empowering students through personalised instruction, while also ensuring their success in examinations.
Central to my approach is the art of customisation. I firmly believe that every learner is unique, and as such, I meticulously design lessons to cater to your child's specific learning style, strengths, and areas for growth. This personalized approach not only fosters a deeper understanding of subject matter but also nurtures a profound sense of engagement and ownership over their education.
Beyond the realm of academic achievements, I am a staunch advocate of holistic education. My experience underscores the pivotal role of building confidence and self-belief in tandem with achieving exam excellence. A student's journey is not solely defined by test scores; rather, it encompasses personal growth, resilience, and the development of essential life skills. By instilling a strong sense of self-assurance, I empower my students to not only excel academically but also to navigate educational challenges with confidence.
