I am based in West Hampstead and have 10 years of teaching experience. I graduated from University College London (UCL) with a degree in Classics in 2013 before training for an English PCGE in a variety of schools in London. I am currently an Assistant Head and Head of Sixth Form in a busy non-selective state secondary school in North London. I have extensive experience of teaching English Language, English Literature and Latin.
My primary focus is ensuring that students make excellent progress in a supportive and focused environment so that they can both their very best and enjoy the process of learning.
I love my job and am committed to helping children make progress. I love to celebrate their success with them when they overcome their learning barriers. My students have achieved consistency good results.
I have tutored pupils in English Language, English Literature and Latin for 11+, 13+, GCSE and A Level for 10 years. Given my full-time job, I also have extensive experience of teaching English Language and Literature to GCSE and A Level students. I have taught the Eduqas syllabus for Latin GCSE, AQA syllabus for English GCSE and OCR and Edexcel syllabi for English Literature A Level. I have also mentored students in preparing for university applications and would be willing to offer support for drafting personal statements.
My approach is flexible and tailored to the individual I am working with. I aim to foster a love of learning in my students, but understand that this must come with a embedding a culture of high expectations, rigour and focus in my lessons.
I like to challenge my students and to help them to build their understanding of topics and texts through testing them. I help them to improve their reading and writing my using model answers and I am dedicated to correcting their mistakes to help them build their understanding and confidence. I aim to make all of my lessons focused, engaging and energetic to ensure that my students learning in an environment that that they enjoy.
I am happy to tutor both in person and online, via Zoom.
