I am an experienced Head of English with over 26 years of English Language and Literature teaching and tutoring experience and I have also been an English Language GCSE examiner for AQA although I am also experienced in teaching other boards too. The age range I teach on a day to day basis is Years 5- 13 but I am also experienced in teaching transitional English literacy skills with Year 6 students pending their start at secondary school and additionally I tutor KS2 English, Maths, 11+, 12+ and 13+ exam entrance.

I have worked with a huge range of student groups over the years ranging from SEN students right the way through to setting up the gifted and talented register at another local secondary school and running that as a whole school incentive as well as within the English Department. I am currently working with a number of students with ASD and PDA and students who are out of school long term or permanently.
I am a recently retired, competent teacher and I have been keen to share my knowledge with others when working in the role of Head of English and Curriculum Coordinator. My ability to listen and respond to the need of others have helped me fulfil these roles successfully. I have experience working with a variety of age groups from nursery age up to twelve years. I embrace fresh challenges with boundless energy. I am very popular with parents and pupils because of my kind and considerate nature and my ability to make lessons interesting and fun. Pupils feel a sense of achievement because lessons are suited to individual needs, and where possible, show an interest and respect for different cultures and backgrounds.
