Personal Message
I am an experienced tutor and examiner and aim to teach English at the highest level to ensure improvement and success.
Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach English and study skills at all levels and I also prepare students for drama school auditions.
Tell me about your qualifications.
These include BA Hons English, PGCE, a post-graduate Diploma in Social Administration and Solicitors’ Examinations.
What kind of experience do you have?
A level, GCSE and International Baccalaureate teaching and examining have been a central part of my career, but I have also taught English at all levels from literacy and as a second language to research skills and essay structure for struggling undergraduates.
Throughout my career I have also been interested in the process of learning and I have set up study skills centres in two large London colleges and worked 1:1 with many students who were having difficulty with essays, note taking and time management. Frequently these students were studying subjects other than literature and sometimes were dyslexic.
How much do you charge?
I charge £30 per hour for GCSE and £35 for other subjects.
Where do you teach?
I teach at home in Ealing. Parking is available in the street except for the hours of 10-11 and 3-4. The Piccadilly Line is 10 minutes walk away and the District and Central Line about 15 minutes.
When are you available?
At the moment I have spaces in the late afternoon on Mondays and Tuesdays and also on Saturday afternoon.
Which ages and levels do you teach?
I usually teach students from the age of 14 as that is when serious preparation begins for public exams.
Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
I prepare students for GCSE, A level and the International Baccalaureate.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
No.
Where and with whom did you train?
I studied at University College London, the London School of Economics and the College of Law. I have also done acting training at the Questors Theatre.
Tell me about some of your current students.
Recent tutees have included an A level student who had difficulty understanding texts and structuring essays, a GCSE student who found Shakespeare baffling, an adult student applying independently to university and one preparing audition speeches for drama school.

From a Literature Examiner's Desk

When I meet a new tutee for the first time for help with literature, I ask them what they want from their sessions with me. Invariably they say 'I want an A*’ or the equivalent in the exam they are taking. Given my extensive experience as a teacher and as an examiner for A level, GCSE and International Baccalaureate Literature, I suppose that...
