My Passion & How I Inspire

My teaching style combines formal pedagogical approaches learned through my teacher training, and the academic credentials I honed during my bachelor’s degree. I like to expose my pupils to a range of problem-solving puzzles and articles to expand their horizons and help them to explore their subject from a new perspective.

No two students or lessons are the same, and I pride myself on my ability explore the learner’s needs and interests before tailoring my teaching style to their needs.

My Experience

I am a primary school teacher, and also have a number of years’ experience teaching children and adults of all ages. In the past I focused on English as a Second Language, and more recently have tutored for the 11+, and Edexcel A Level History (as well as AS Level Government and Politics), alongside IB and A Level German.
