Results
The goal of tuition is to make significant progress with your pupil, wherever their starting point is.
The mark of a good teacher is how much progress a pupil makes in comparison to the expected progress for
their age and ability. This is often measured by comparing a pupil's exam results with their expected
grades that they receive when entering secondary school.
- GCSE pupils that took my class achieved
2.4 grades higher than they would have with an average UK teacher.
- 89% of my A-level students
have received A*-B, and none have failed.
Tutoring Results:
+1.7 grades

These results include pupils with Special Education Needs and Disabilities, pupils with English as an
additional language, pupils with mental health, emotional and social needs, gifted and talented
pupils/high ability pupils, and pupils who find it difficult to adapt their way of thinking and
behaviour to conventional education settings. Here are my results for SEND pupils:
+2.2 grades

*SEN (Special Educational Needs) and SEND (Special Educational Needs and
Disabilities) are terms used to describe pupils who require additional support to overcome barriers to
learning.
Head of Geography and Curriculum Writing
In my time as Head of Geography, I made a culture of progress the top priority in my department. The
resources and routines I developed to do this will be accessible to and tailored to your child's needs.
In my time in this role, I also trained other teachers in the beginning years. I have also been employed
in the private sector (Bromsgrove School) to plan and deliver revision intensive courses to ensure
short-term progress before the exam season.
I can offer personalised schemes of work for homeschooled students using my experience; an Ofsted
inspector during a 'deep-dive' has recently graded the 7-year curriculum overhaul in Geography in my
former department as 'phenomenal'.
Lead Assessment Writer, Published Resources Authoring Experience, and Examiner Training
I work with outside agencies to create and deliver exam revision content and have presented both in
online and in-person workshops nationwide. I have also written published content guides on answering
exam questions at A-level. As well as training and experience as an examiner, I am also a Lead
Assessment Writer for a major exam board writing the exam paper and mark scheme.
Education
I hold a 2:1 BSc (Hons) in Geography from the University of Nottingham and studied a range of Geography
topics and a PGCE (with Merit) also from the University of Nottingham. Previously I attended Bexley
Grammar School in London, studying A-levels in Geography, English Literature, Drama and Theatre Studies,
and Biology whilst voluntarily opting to study a GCSE in Geology to satisfy personal interest.
In the year following University, I worked as an au-pair teaching English in Italy, travelled South
Africa, and worked as a nanny and tutor in Central London. Throughout University and school, I worked as
a swimming teacher and coach for 2 to 18-year-olds.
