My Summary
About Me
As a qualified GCSE English Language/ Literature teacher, I offer engaging, tailored support designed to build both academic capability and lasting confidence. Holding a degree in Psychology alongside my postgraduate teaching qualifications, I take a holistic, trauma-informed approach to education—ensuring that every child feels safe, valued, and emotionally regulated while they learn. Whether helping students navigate complex exam texts, bridging learning gaps, or fostering a genuine enjoyment of reading and writing, I combine patience, empathy, and strong pedagogical frameworks to create a nurturing environment where young learners can truly thrive.
My Experience
With extensive professional experience teaching across both primary and secondary school environments, I bring a deep understanding of student development and curriculum standards from key stages early on through to GCSE preparation. My background includes working as a specialist teacher in various mainstream, secondary, and primary settings where I have successfully guided pupils of diverse ages and abilities. Grounded in a degree in Psychology, my approach is uniquely student-centered and trauma-informed, ensuring that children receive not only expert academic instruction in English language and literature but also the emotional safety, patience, and targeted support they need to build lasting confidence and thrive.
