My preferred teaching method is humanistic in nature. I strive to ensure that all learners feel safe and included in my classroom, and that all learners have the equal opportunities to learn in an environment that is conducive to learning. I am comfortable teaching learners of all abilities and always push my students to challenge themselves and reach their potential. Teaching has always been a great passion of mine and it brings me immense joy to watch my learners succeed.
I am an experienced English teacher who is both PGCE qualified and holds a first class degree in English Language. I have successfully taught English at GCSE, AS and A-Level and have taught in Access to Higher Education (HE) classes, enabling both younger and older learners progress on to university (HE). I have some experience teaching English as a foreign language and I am soon to complete my Level 5 TEFL course.
