Intelligent, friendly publishing editor and teaching assistant wants to share her enthusiasm about the English language with others! Learn and have fun.

Experience

I've worked for thirty years as a publishing editor, up to Director level, for some of the UK's most famous publishers. Since I went freelance seven years ago I have gained an Edexcel Supporting Teaching and Learning Level 2 qualification, and I work full time at a local Primary School as a teacher assistant. I also act as literacy agent and publishing editor on a freelance basis for pubIishers and agents. I have eight GCSE O Levels and 3 GCSE A levels, all A and B grades. I have experience writing copy for marketing materials and book blurbs as well as for professional reports, which gives me a fluid and excellent ability to use English in different contexts. My grammar, punctuation and vocabulary range is at excellent professional level, and I act as a volunteer tour guide as well as delivering presentations for my school, which makes me an a confident oral communicator. My natural enthusiasm for the subject means that I can engage students, as well as finding angles which make the learning individually targeted and enjoyable.
