My Experience
Whilst I was completing my PhD, I tutored English to students from year 4 through to adulthood, with the majority of my students at KS3 and KS4. Following that, I became a tutor with The Brilliant Club, where I designed and taught my own courses on Holocaust Literature to dif- ferent groups of students, from years 7 to 12. I also taught English in secondary schools for 2 years during my PGCE and NQT years. During my time as a full-time English teacher at an inner city London academy, I also covered lessons in different subjects where my colleagues were absent.

Fun fact
This year, I saw my boyfriend learn to ride a unicycle and told him I could never do that with my bad balance. Hearing myself say that, I de- cided to give it a go (otherwise, I would be a bit hypocritical telling my student that theres no such thing as cant). A few months later and I can just about ride it unassisted!
