I’m an experienced Head of English and passionate tutor who believes in fostering confidence, curiosity, and clarity in every learner. I specialise in helping students master both GCSE and A-Level English Literature and Language, drawing on a strong academic background and years of classroom and online experience. My sessions are warm, structured, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each student—whether they’re building foundational skills or aiming for top grades.
I have over seven years of experience teaching English in London secondary schools, including leadership roles in curriculum development and teacher training. I’ve worked with a wide range of students—from those struggling with confidence to high-attaining learners preparing for top universities.
As a Head of English and former Teaching & Learning Lead, I have extensive experience tutoring both AQA and Edexcel English specifications. I bring deep familiarity with exam requirements, mark schemes, and strategies to help students succeed. I’ve also supported students through online platforms and know how to keep lessons engaging and effective remotely.
