Tutoring Approach:

At all times, I am as flexible as possible, and tailor learning methods to the individual. I seek out personal strengths, and use these to allay insecurities and improve weaker areas of knowledge. I am of the belief that people of all ages learn in different ways and am extremely creative in my teaching practice.

I am passionate about both my subject, and the potential in young people; the way drama in its infinite forms, and a fundamental, first-hand understanding of English can identify and develop sometimes unexpected skills and talents which might otherwise remain dormant or unexplored.
