    About Me

    I am a friendly and relatable tutor. I am easygoing and approachable with a passion to inspire students to take pride in their education.

    My teaching style is to personalise my classes to suit the needs and goals of the student.

    Education

    Previous Degree: First Class Honours BA English Language with Journalism at the University of Derby.
    Currently Studying: Master’s of Science in Psycholinguistics at the University of York.

    Experience / Qualifications

    2+ years as an educator in a comprehensive high school. I worked as a SEN teaching assistant with English as a specialist subject.
    In this class, we’ll explore the different types of word classes in English, starting with the basics like nouns, verbs, and adjectives, and working our way up to more complex concepts such as prepositions, determiners, and conjunctions. Understanding how each word class functions is essential for building clear and effective sentences. We’ll cover how words work together to create meaning, and how to recognize and use each type of word correctly in context. This approach not only strengthens grammar but also helps improve writing and communication skills overall, making it a valuable skill for both beginners and those looking to refine their knowledge.
    English Skills can be crucial for students looking to improve their overall proficiency in the English language. Students will focus on developing core skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Emphasis will be placed on expanding vocabulary, enhancing grammatical understanding, and refining communication techniques. Suitable for learners at various levels, this course aims to build confidence and fluency, preparing students to use English effectively in everyday situations and academic contexts. This course works by personalising the content to be suitable for the student’s needs.
