Ethos & Values
As a professional educator and tutor with wide-ranging experience across all secondary and tertiary levels, I work to the highest professional standards.
Pupils learn by feeling confident and understood, and my goal is to create relationships based on trust. I adapt my lessons to the needs of each student, and I aim to gain as full a picture of what they need as possible.
Although I teach examination techniques where appropriate, I always have a higher aim alongside – namely, to develop the students’ understanding of the topic and their confidence in responding to it.
This subject, English, in all its wonderful aspects, is about life. Yes, I am teaching students to be good readers and writers. But I am also helping them to discover new ideas, perspectives and experiences – and, ultimately, to think clearly.
