I hold a 2:1 degree in Medieval Studies (English and History) from the University of Manchester, where I also completed my teacher training. Over 10 years, I taught English in Manchester secondary schools, including St Peters RC High and The East Manchester Academy, focusing on A-Level English Literature.

Using engaging material and expert modelling, I build critical analysis and essay-writing skills essential for A-Level success. My experience as an AQA examiner ensures I guide students in mastering exam techniques and overcoming challenges effectively.
