I am a confident and academic teacher who adores teaching and all that is involved in the process of learning. I have spent the last 25 years as either a classroom teacher, Head of Department, or Private Tutor in the UK and abroad. I read my PGCE at Teaching English at Oxford University. My Academic Tutors were inspirational and I am in contact with two of them over 20 years on. I have extensive knowledge and experience in teaching Common Entrance, GCSE and A level Syllabi in English Literature and Language, History, Sociology and Religious Studies and Wjec Criminology. I am extremely experienced in Private Tutoring, having tutored both children in need of encouragement and structure to Oxbridge Candidates.
