About Me

I am a hard working, enthusiastic and committed English, Drama and 11+ tutor, who has a real passion for both of these subjects.

All my lessons are created around my students individual needs, and are based on how they learn best. I have a strong focus on building my student’s confidence and helping them to realise their full potential. I focus on making my lessons interactive, engaging and fun. 🙂

I also run drama groups for people with MS and other chronic illnesses. These are based around having fun, learning how beautifully unique we all are, and developing acting skills along the way.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to tutoring and teaching is to plan all my lessons around my students. This means creating interactive, engaging and fun activities that are specifically designed for the needs of my pupils, and to focus on how they learn best!
