For over two decades I have thoroughly enjoyed being a very successful teacher of English Literature and Language & Literature as well as Theory of Knowledge in four very highly regarded IB World Schools. I have been an examiner for IB English and I also tutor iGCSE and A Level with ease. I am a specialist in supporting IB students with their Individual Oral, Internal Assessments and Extended Essays. Exam success relies on mastery of the material but also a genuine enjoyment of the subject. My students trust that all lessons are goal oriented, highly focused and "inspirational'.

I have a BA English Literature and a MEd in Educational Leadership and am currently pursuing a PhD in Literature and Cultural Studies. I have been Head of English thrice and held several leadership positions in secondary education, including Director of Innovation at my previous school. I have lived and worked in four countries and have been inspired by the internationalism and diversity in those contexts. I am able to quickly boost the confidence of my students and identify the areas in most need of improvement, making sure to set clear goals to work towards. I very much enjoy helping students along their journey to success and my students say they always look forward to our sessions and quickly gain new knowledge and skills.
