As a dedicated English and Media Studies teacher currently working at a secondary school in Leicestershire, I am passionate about empowering students to achieve their fullest potential. Every day, I witness the incredible growth and confidence that comes when students overcome challenges in these subjects. The joy I feel when a student grasps a difficult concept or discovers a new appreciation for English and Media Studies is truly immeasurable.

I believe that every student has the ability to excel, and sometimes, all they need is personalised guidance to unlock their potential. That’s why I’m excited to offer one-on-one tutoring, tailored specifically to your child's needs. Whether your child is struggling with particular areas or simply wants to push beyond their current limits, I’m here to provide the support, encouragement, and expertise they need to thrive.

My goal is not just to improve grades, but to foster a genuine understanding and love for English and Media Studies that will last a lifetime. I would be delighted to discuss any specific concerns or goals you have for your child. Together, we can create a plan to ensure their success and build their confidence in these subjects.

Tutoring Experience

With over 8 years of experience as an English teacher, I have had the privilege of guiding students through both GCSE and A-level courses, primarily under the AQA and Eduqas specifications, with some experience in OCR as well. Throughout my career, I've taken on various leadership roles, including Second in Department and Deputy Leader of Excellence, which have broadened my understanding of school operations and enriched my teaching practice. I've also led small group sessions and provided one-on-one tuition, helping students who needed extra support to strengthen their English skills and achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Approach

In our one-on-one tutoring sessions, my approach is to create a supportive and tailored learning environment that meets each student's unique needs. I bring my experience and expertise into tutoring, ensuring that every session is well-organised, purposeful, and focused on the student's individual goals.
In our sessions, I will assess your child's strengths and areas for improvement, then craft lessons that are not only aimed at overcoming challenges but also at building confidence and a deeper understanding of English and Media Studies. Whether your child needs help grasping complex concepts, refining their essay-writing skills, or simply pushing their abilities further, I am committed to providing the guidance and encouragement they need to succeed.

My goal is to instill a genuine love for English and Media Studies while helping your child surpass their academic expectations. Through personalised attention and a passion for teaching, I aim to make learning a positive and empowering experience.
