As a qualified English teacher, I will guide your young person through any area of the subject. I will cater for the individual needs of each student, and ensure they have a secure understanding of a topic before moving on. I work with The Writing Revolution material, in addition to being qualified to teach the British GCSEs. I teach literature, studying and analysing various texts, and am highly experienced in teaching poetry writing and other creative writing. I also teach grammar and general essay writing skills, including persuasive writing, speech and letter writing, and writing for an audience. Please get in touch to discuss your needs, and arrange a time which works for you. As each class is tailored to the needs of each individual student, there are no set topics in this class.

I'm a qualified teacher, experienced in teaching English, History, Music, and Art. I home educated my two children, who are now at university, and I have taught in mainstream schools, and in Special-Ed schools.
I have also taught piano, guitar, singing, and music theory, taking students through grade examinations.
I am experienced in teaching the British GCSEs, and through home-schooling, I taught my own children using American curriculum. I teach Language Arts, English Literature and Language, Creative Writing, Poetry - both writing, and reading, and many other fantastic and interesting topics.
I teach writing skills using the Writing Revolution techniques, and have seen students improve their writing skills rapidly using some of the techniques applied.
In addition, I worked as a graphic designer for 10 years, working from home, and offer graphic design and video editing classes, using Adobe Creative Suite, DaVinci Resolve, and soon, Affinity creative suite.
Growth Mindset is very important in my classes, and I encourage it in all learners - Growth Mindset is the belief that even if you can't do something or don't understand something, then you CAN learn how to do it or understand it. Growth Mindset says "I can't do it YET, but I can learn." Learning happens through making mistakes, and then modifying your approach, changing what you do, to improve. I encourage all learners to try, and to feel comfortable making mistakes, because that's how we all learn.
