| Relevant Experience: |
I have over 20 years’ experience teaching English at top UK independent schools (including St Paul’s Girls’ School, Charterhouse and Abingdon) and top international schools in Thailand, Dubai and China (including Dulwich College Shanghai).
I am a former Head of English at a UK independent school and an international school in China, and a former Head of Year 13 with responsibility for Oxbridge applications and university support. I have set and examined 11+ and 13+ entrance exams for a range of independent schools, as well as marking Common Entrance. I have also examined IGCSE English Language and English Literature, A Level English Literature and IB. |
| Why I tutor: | I tutor because I love my subject and I love helping people! I particularly enjoy helping students build their confidence and voice as a writer, enabling them to make real academic progress. I value the creative and academic challenge of creating bespoke lessons for my students which are tailored to their interests. There is a real sense of a partnership between students, their family, JK Educate and the tutor. It also means a great deal to me to keep up my international connections and to support students in countries such as China and Dubai. |
