My Experience

I’ve taught English Language and Literature to secondary school students for six years.

At The Perse School in Cambridge (co-ed), I taught Years 7-13 and prepared students for their IGCSE, AS and A Level exams (OCR).

At Eton College, I taught CIE’s English Language and Literature IGCSEs, as well as the Pre-U English Literature course. As Deputy Head of English there, I helped design, orchestrate and deliver the Sixth Form course, and was responsible for the creation of departmental resources.

I also ran Eton’s English at University preparation course for four years, and helped a high number of students gain offers from the university of their choice – often Oxford or Cambridge.

Part of my role at Eton included giving one-to-one tutorials to students looking for extra help with their university application or in the run-up to public exams, and I’m familiar with tailoring my teaching to individuals with SEND.

I’m delighted to have a wealth of resources, contacts and experience with which to meet the needs of my new students.
