I have lived in the Ashbourne area for over 30 years and have considerable experience in teaching students of all ages and abilities – from those with real aptitude and talent, to those with significant difficulties.

Although I have taught A Level, my preference is KS3 and GCSE and I have enabled many young people to enjoy appropriate success in public examinations.

I am a qualified Special Educational Needs Coordinator and have much experience in teaching and supporting learners with SEND. When it comes to lesson style – well that depends on the learner and their own learning style and needs. I am a sympathetic and flexible teacher, with a genuine desire to help young people achieve their potential and therefore always aim to identify what works best for each student.
