English Tuition
Alongside Wonder River, I also offer personalised English tuition for upper Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3, GCSE and A Level students, including home-educated young people, with a particular specialism in the Key Stage 3 years.
Sessions are tailored to the individual and may focus on reading, writing, English Language, English Literature, Common Entrance, scholarship preparation, or GCSE and A Level study. Whether a student is seeking greater challenge, improved attainment, preparation for entry to a competitive school, or increased confidence in English, my aim is to help them become confident, thoughtful and independent learners.
Support is available for a wide range of needs, from developing core literacy skills and a love of English to preparing for examinations, interviews and scholarship assessments. Every session is built around a strong, supportive relationship, helping students discover their strengths and develop the confidence to succeed both within English and beyond.
English Teaching Experience
I am a fully qualified English and Games teacher (BA, MA, MEd (Educational Leadership), PGCE, QTS, CELTA), and have spent the past twenty years teaching English in the classroom and Games on the sports pitches.
My most recent roles have been Head of English for the past twelve years and Head of Year 8 for the past seven years at Moulsford Prep School in South Oxfordshire. Previous responsibilities have included Head of Scholars and Head of Drama.
Before this, I taught at Taunton School, working with students across Key Stage 3, GCSE, A Level and the International Baccalaureate.
Alongside my professional experience, I am also a home-educating parent and the founder of Wonder River.
