High-quality Brough English Tutors

Qualified teacher with 30 years experience in a variety of roles. I have a degree in Economics and a post graduate diploma in Economics from St Andrews University. I am a PGCE qualified Economics and Business Education and I have continued to tutor both subjects despite moving into another role. My current position is in a prestigious independent day school in the North East of England. My teaching relates to helping struggling students in English and Maths, meaning I have a comprehensive knowledge of the current English and Math GCSE and KS3 curriculums. I am a former SENCo and have qualifications in SEN relating to both Dyslexia and Dyscalculia as well as being a qualified Psychometric Assessor. I teach study skills and revision skills to students of all abilities up to 18 plus. I also have experience in teaching adult numeracy and literacy at night school.

I have developed online teaching using Skype or zoom that has proved successful and enjoyable. As an experienced teacher of English language and literature I have taught all levels from KS2 through to A’level. I am passionate about my subject and believe that all students can succeed given the right support. I have taught learners with many barriers to learning and additional needs. For ten years I taught in adult education college; the last 5 of which I was curriculum lead for the 14-16 college where I was part of the team of teachers who achieved outstanding for our KS4 cohort. Over the past 3 years I have worked part time as a private tutor. I believe in student-centred learning allowing students to actively participate in their learning. 1:1 tuition provides the student with the opportunity to engage with texts in a depth they often miss in the busy classroom environment. Exam boards I have taught: AQA, Edexcel and WJEC, both language and literature.

With 15 years’ experience in both Primary and Secondary sectors, I am a Senior Leader who brings about rapid improvements in my areas of responsibility with proven credibility. As Director of Learning, I currently provide pedagogical leadership to support teaching and learning across a group of schools, working closely with learners who require additional support or challenge to reach their potential. My Creative Arts background allows me to use a variety of methods to make learning fun and engage pupils in different ways, whilst achieving great results. I am experienced in preparing pupils for 7+ and 11+ entrance exams as well as being Y6 Lead for five years and teaching in secondary schools for ten years. I have previously prepared pupils for LAMDA qualifications in addition to GCSE Drama, A- Level Theatre Studies and BTEC Performing Arts qualifications at both Level 2 and Level 3.

I am a qualified and experienced primary school teacher (with Qualified Teacher Status), now a part time resource creator for Teachit Primary, one of the largest teaching resource companies. I teach all core subjects across the primary age range (KS1 and KS2), along with additional non-core subjects as required. I have experience of successful home schooling, and will provide support for home schooling, tutoring, entrance exams and SATs. I am currently undertaking a Education Psychology Diploma. I have illustrated several books and am a keen sportsperson. In previous schools, I have held the role of Art Co-ordinator, PE Co-ordinator and assisted the Head of English.
