I qualified in 1984 with my PGCE from Cambridge University and since then I have taught in a variety of schools in both the private and state sector in London & the South East where I taught at The Judd School in Tonbridge teaching English GCSE and Latin A level. My most recent school post was teaching GCSE English AQA Board in Sussex. I have been tutoring for the last 20 years for the Kent 11 Plus examination including my own children, who all gained places at Kent Grammar schools, and also tutoring English Literature & Language at GCSE and A Level. I have recently moved from Kent to Cornwall but I am still in touch with my students and it is wonderful to see them progressing in their lives. I can supply email addresses of my clients in Sussex / Kent whose children I taught English Literature and Language to on a one to one basis. My own children have dyslexia and ADHD and I have helped them in their studies to secure places at Manchester and Bristol University.

I am an experienced KS1 and KS2 teacher and have been teaching continuously since gaining my P.G.C.E in 1999. I worked at Bodriggy Academy in Hayle for 18 years. I taught a Year 3 class full-time for the first 8 years then, after having children of my own, I went back part-time (0.4) and for the last 10 years I have taught reception children through to Year 6. I have job-shared in EYFS, taught a mixed Year 1/2 class, as well as a mixed Year 5/6 class. I have also carried out Senior management PPA cover in EYFS, Years 1/2, and Years 5/6. In Sept 2019 I made the transition from permanent employment to supply. This has given me the opportunity to teach in a wide range of schools and learn from the many varied ways teaching is delivered in different settings. I have spent a lot of this time teaching at Marazion school.
