About Me

I am a hard-working, enthusiastic, and committed English, Drama, and 11+ tutor with a real passion for both subjects.

All my lessons are tailored to my students’ individual needs and based on how they learn best. I have a strong focus on building my students’ 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 my pupils’ needs and that focus on how they learn best!
