I qualified to teach with a PGCE in secondary English and Drama from the University of Cambridge. Since then I have been teaching for over 20 years, in colleges and schools within the UK and overseas, and most recently tutoring online.
My areas of specialism are GCSE (and IGCSE) English, KS3 and A level English. I have taught in international schools in Russia and the UK, and I even owned and ran my own language school for 10 years, specialising in IELTS and general English. I also have extensive experience delivering Functional Skills.
I work my students hard, but try to make my lessons fun and engaging.
My hobbies include international travel, football, writing and watching films.
