Experience
2008-present: Teacher of IB English (A and B) and IGCSE English Language and Literature 2007-present: Tutor of English, classical civilisation and methodology Being a tutor via UniversityTutor helps me to maintain involvement in education in a flexible way. I undertake continuous professional development a minimum of once yearly in order to continually improve my skills as a teacher and tutor. I also work as an IB and IGCSE examiner, which greatly aids me in knowing what exam boards want from their students. My work as an educational journalist and researcher enables me to combine theory and practice and to thus deepen my knowledge in a manner that benefits students. Further to this, I work as a freelance translator and blogger, which enables students to see the practical applications of English from an insider's perspective.
