About Me
I started work as a teacher of English Language, Literature and literacy support twenty years ago.
My interests are broad and, whilst qualifying as a Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinator and occupying senior roles within schools, I have continued my academic study. I have a Masters Degree in Social Sciences and a DipHE in Creative Writing from Oxford amongst other numerous qualifications.
I have three grown up children and three small yappy dogs. I like to read, to learn and to watch action movies!
Tutor Experience
I have occupied leadership posts at a range of selective and international schools including Head of English, Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator, Head of Media Studies and Head of Psychology.
I have taught students aged 11-19, but I specialise in exam classes. I have extensive online tutoring experience with young people of all abilities. I have been an examiner for numerous exam boards including AQA and EDUQAS. I currently work for Cambridge International examining A Level English Language and Literature, Psychology and General Studies.
I have had many students successfully take up places at Oxbridge and other competitive universities.
I recently had a student achieve a staggering 98/100 on their CIE English A Level paper.
Additionally, I have many years of experience in successfully providing targeted GCSE revision classes to support young people at risk of not achieving a pass grade.

Very insightful!
Abigel - English Language
Amazing tutor. I've used about 10 hours worth of her services ALL OF WHICH WERE OFFLINEA AND MARKING FOR EXAM PREP. She is rapid, answers questions, acts like a school teacher who cares for your progress. Her marking is very similar to that of my school teacher, based on that I assume she is accruate.
