31 years experience - successful Head of Department and Assistant Headteacher with 2:1 Degree in English Language and Literature I am married with a 17 year old daughter. I enjoy cycling, watching the Manchester Storm Ice Hockey team, enjoy travelling and just spending time with my family. I pride myself on the strong and effective relationships I have with students I teach at school and have a passion for teaching. I am an experienced exam marker for a leading exam board for both English language and Literature and have experience of teaching Key Stage 3 to key Stage 5 over 26 years in the classroom.

31 years across five schools. 30 years as an examiner and a tutor. I have experience as a teacher, subject leader, lead for Literacy and an Assistant Headteacher and have a successful record in helping learners achieve their expected grade.

Flexible, friendly and fun. I'm obviously guided by the learning approach preferred by the tutee but would be well-planned, driven and keen to maximise the potential of any learner in my care.
