In my 12 years of teaching English Literacy (Reading, Writing, Spelling, Grammar and Comprehension) at High School, most students joined my classes because they were below the expected spelling and writing levels for their ages. They often felt less confident about their learning and this sometimes impacted other areas of their lives. Having witnessed at first hand what a difference my classes had on my students, has made me passionate about giving each student the best opportunity to gain confidence and succeed in their learning. I am very excited to share my passion for learning with your child.
