      • Jul 2018 - Present

      For 5 years, I have taught English Literature and Language to Key Stage 3 and 4 students of mixed ability. In Key Stage 3, the students are exposed to diverse and challenging texts, which provides a strong foundation for the required GCSE skills. I support Key Stage 4 students in their academic writing and encourage a curiosity in the writers’ methods and contexts in which texts were written. Furthermore, I am a confident teacher of A Level English Literature, which includes a range of prose, poetry and drama.
