I believe in a learner led approach and am happy to let students take the lead and tell me what they want or need to learn more about. I believe that learning should engage the learner and I try to inject a level of fun and enthusiasm for the subject that motivates the will to learn
I am a former primary school teacher, I taught at a primary school in East London for 3 years (plus 2 years as a teaching assistant) and am taking a break to gain a masters degree in Forensic Lingustics. I have a degree in English Literature.
