I have over 11 years of teaching and tutoring experience. My experience is the following: Currently, I teach and hold a whole-school leadership role at an independent school outside London teaching GCSE, IGCSE, HPQ and IBDP English. Other: IB Senior Examiner for six years. IB Workshop Leader (training IB teachers)

Teach English Literature, English Language and Literature, English B. Tutored IB, National Curriculum and IGCSE. 2017-2019: Hong Kong - Teacher of MYP and IBDP English language and Literature in an international private school. (Year 10-13 classes only)
2014-2017: London - Teacher of English in a high-achieving 'Outstanding' school in NW London where the English Dept has a record of 97% (2014/15 results) A*-C in English Language and 100% for Literature. School is 3rd in country for Progress 8. Other: Progress Leader for Year 8 in English and Head of Behaviour. I was previously the school's Literacy Co-ordinator, focused on improving the literacy levels of students across the school and all Key Stages.
I offer an elite tutoring service one-to-one. I can also teach and accordingly price students in pairs or small groups.
Online, I can tutor students based anywhere, but ideally in Asia, due to time difference.
My teaching style encourages students to value their own opinions and to have confidence. I believe that engaging with texts and ideas is the key to doing well. I have a good sense of humour and am patient, but I am also pedantic and have high expectations. My students should become confident and well-trained in assuring accuracy in their work. I am also focused on students acquiring key skills that they can transfer and apply to all texts. I value literacy and homework very much.
