My Summary
About Me
My expertise mainly lies in literacy/English and reading. I am a former secondary school English teacher who has worked in and outside of London. I can support children and young people in developing their core English skills (such as grammar, vocabulary and comprehension) as well as their enjoyment and passion for the subject.
I am extremely passionate about reading and believe that all children can enjoy and love reading with the right books and guidance. Having working in publishing (children's and primary educational) for 8 years, I have a solid knowledge of the literature and resources available. I can help children to improve their reading skills and develop an interest and enjoyment in reading. There really is a book out there for every child!
My Experience
I am a fully qualified former secondary school English teacher who has experience teaching English for Year 7-Year 11. For the last 4 years, I have worked in primary educational publishing focusing on reading and English resources. This has given me a solid knowledge of the National Curriculum at this level. Since leaving teaching, I have continued to work and interact with young people by acting as a volunteer reader in local primary schools. Prior to becoming a teacher, I had various jobs working with children and young people which included a Theatre Activity Specialist in a USA summer camp and part-time childcare positions.

Undergraduate degree: Drama and Theatre Arts (2:1 BA Hons)
Postgraduate: PGCE in Secondary English
