My Summary
Trusted Educational Companion And Mentor
About Me
I am an experienced Expert Teacher, Educational Mentor and creative practitioner who is passionate about helping young people grow in confidence and realise their potential. Over the past 15 years, I have enjoyed working with young people across both state and independent education, supporting them to achieve success academically, creatively and personally. I hold an Enhanced DBS certificate and am registered with the DBS Update Service, allowing my status to be checked online. I build strong, trusting relationships and provide a calm, supportive presence, helping young people feel valued, motivated and empowered to thrive. Creativity has always been at the heart of my work, and I enjoy helping young people develop confidence, communication skills, self-expression and a lifelong love of learning.
My Experience
Throughout my career, I have supported young people to achieve exceptional academic, creative and personal outcomes. This has included raising GCSE pass rates from 35% to 92.9%, achieving 100% pass rates and securing 60% top-grade A Level outcomes within two terms of joining a new school. Students I have taught have progressed to leading institutions including Juilliard, The BRIT School, Italia Conti, LAMDA and Guildhall, while former students have gone on to perform in the West End, appear in television productions and work professionally within the creative industries. I have been described by senior leaders as a "first-rate practitioner" whose students "loved her" and as an "outstanding" teacher and committed professional. Above all, I am proud of the trusting relationships I build and the confidence, resilience and independence that young people develop through working with me.
My Qualifications
I hold the Expert Teacher Qualification, a PGCE in Drama and Performing Arts, and a BA (Hons) in Drama and Theatre Studies, including a first-class dissertation. Alongside over 15 years of experience working with young people across both state and independent education, I have completed safeguarding, mental health and wellbeing training and have extensive experience supporting young people with a range of learning needs and educational profiles. These qualifications and experiences underpin my ability to provide high-quality academic, pastoral and mentoring support tailored to the individual needs of each young person.
