My Experience
My combined experience of academic research and teaching means that I possess expertise in History of Art and also understand the theory and practicalities of how people learn. This means I have developed strategies throughout my teaching experience to support students with different abilities. I have experience in teaching and with working with people who have diverse mental, intellectual and physical needs. I come from a background in university student welfare and mental health support, which I believe is important in gaining an understanding of the wider needs of my students while planning and teaching.
I have experience teaching and tutoring History of Art at A Level (Pearson) and University level (both undergraduate and postgraduate). I also have experience teaching Religious Ethics and Philosophy from KS3 to KS5. I have tutored students on personal statements for University and PGCE programmes (including the QTS English skills test), and have some teaching experience in English at KS3 (Verbal Reasoning 11+) and English Literature at GCSE.
