Experience

I have been a full-time Secondary English teacher since 2008. After completing my Bachelors of Education and working in an International School as an English and Drama Teacher, I moved to London and taught in inner-city schools for 12 years. During that time I was the head of three English departments, the Humanities faculty, as well as training English teachers across 15 secondary schools in Mastery English teaching. Since 2022, I have been an online English tutor. I work with students in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Australia, supporting students with: English Literature and Language GCSEs, 11+ and 13+ entrance exams, International Baccalaureate and general English support.
