Doctor of Education with 30+ years teaching experience. Gives lessons online or in-person at learner's location: GCSE English; Functional Skills English; Creative Writing; Academic Study Skills & Essay Writing; Adult Basic Skills; Dyslexia Support.

Tutoring Experience

I have been a Curriculum Manager & English Lecturer in Adult Education for over 20 years, and taught in secondary schools before that. I have full Qualified Teacher Status certified by the Department for Education (UK). I have successfully delivered learning in English Language & Literature, Creative Writing, Study Skills, and Dyslexia Support to thousands of students throughout my career.

I graduated with a BA (Hons) in English from the University of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and hold a Post-Graduate Teaching qualification from the University of Durham. In 2017, I completed a research-based Doctorate in Education at the University of Warwick.

I am also a free-lance writer and have had comedy material produced on BBC Television & Radio.

Tutoring Approach

First session is FREE! My one-to-one online or in-person sessions are for learners aged 14 all the way up to mature adults. Lesson length can vary to suit - from 35 minutes to 2 hours.

I believe in setting homework and providing full developmental feedback. I have a wealth of tried and tested learning materials, PowerPoint Presentations and other resources at my disposal.

I have worked with a very wide range of learners over the years and have a fine track-record in establishing engaging and successful learning relationships - and in helping learners to pass their exams!
