I have taught in both state and private schools in London (St Marylebone, St Augustine’s, Colfe’s and Coloma Convent Girls’ School) and am a mum to 3 children.

After Oxford University, I worked with students in a large church in Newcastle and then in the City of London in HR at UBS Investment Bank and in Internal Communications at Lloyd’s of London. During this time I also helped to run residential summer camps for teenagers.

I have always enjoyed opportunities to interact individually with pupils in my teaching career and believe that tutoring gives a unique opportunity to help individuals work on their skills in a way that just isn’t possible to the same extent in a busy classroom. I love to see students really enjoy texts for themselves and learn how to express their views well. Learning to analyse any text is a key transferable skill which has value for any occupation in the future.

In my free time I enjoy running, reading and cooking.
