About Andrew
I am passionate about Language and Literature, as the former gives you the keys to express yourself fully and the latter is a prism that can help you see the world (or even yourself!) with new eyes.
I am committed to education for all students, as not only do I find it personally rewarding to know that I'm helping others, but also I strongly believe that through education we raise understanding and thereby build confidence & agency in young people.
I have high standards for my students, reflected by my high standards for myself as a teacher. I know that working together with students to find learning methods which work for them is what makes the difference in the student-teacher relationship, and I know that that is the most critical foundation when building towards success.

I make my lessons interactive and engaging in subject matter, with a strict focus on achieving specific aims based on exam criteria. Language is a skill which needs practice, so all lessons include speaking & listening, reading & writing, with time to reflect, correct and improve being of paramount importance.
Lessons are 1-2 hours, to enable time for assessment, feedback and implementation of feedback.
I studied English Literature at the University of Lancaster in the UK, going on to complete my teacher training at the University of Manchester in Secondary English. I went on to spend 10 years teaching English to students taking GCSE and Functional Skills exams in schools and colleges, in various types of class and age range: 11-16, 16-18, 19+. Most recently I also taught study skills and Mathematics to students aged 14-16.
I will work with any student aged 11+. I can teach with a focus on preparation for a specific exam series, eg IB Diploma Literature/Language and Literature; I can help develop a particular skills area such as creative writing or speaking in academic presentations; I can offer help with homework and understanding set texts or quirks of the language; I can even build skills in higher-level punctuation, grammar, editing and proofreading. As shown in my varied career path, I am flexible and will work with students to adapt lesson resources and teaching methods to meet their needs.
