About Richard
- What kind of experience do you have?
For 25 years I was an English teacher in UK comprehensive schools. For the last 20 of these, I was Head of English then Examinations Officer. I spent the next 11 years supporting schools, students, governors and parents/carers as an LEA Education Officer. I worked with many challenging complaints, management issues and special needs cases, and supported schools in many critical incidents. Now retired from this career, I am an independent Education & Media Consultant--but my first love is still teaching, and I continue to enjoy working to support both young people and adult learners. I also continue to provide support and training for head teachers and school governors AND offer dispute mediation services to schools, parents and carers.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
No, but I expect a responsible adult to be available at all times for students under 18 or vulnerable adult students.
- Tell me about some of your current students.
I currently teach students on-line in the Middle East and Russia--also students locally.
