English made easy! Qualified English teacher in the Bedfordshire area available for English and Media tutoring.
I believe in putting the student first with their education, each student learns in a different way, meaning I adopt a personalised approach for each lesson. I plan all my lessons to be engaging, adaptive and instil confidence in the student.
I offer a free 20 minute session to get to know the student (and parents/carers) to understand the goal the students wish to achieve, whether this be moving up a grade, getting to a pass, exceeding your targets or just general improvement. Please get in contact so we can find something that can work for you!
Can possibly travel locally to Bedford. Please get in touch for more information.
Formerly an Advanced Skills Teacher for Drama and Performing Arts, I was appointed as a Senior Lead Practitioner for Creativity in 2019. My first degree was in English Literature at Southampton. This was followed by a PGCE in Drama and English from the Institute of Education, and another PGCE in Directing Text with Young People, before moving on to my Masters in Education (Drama) working with the University of Middlesex and Trestle Theatre.
My teaching, leadership and whole school responsibilities have included: English Language and Literature; Drama and Theatre Studies; Media and Film Studies; Cross-Curricular Literacy; Raising Boys’ Achievement; Creative and Cultural entitlement. I have worked in a variety of contexts throughout London and Hertfordshire. Most recently, I led a 2-year journey of Creative Teaching and Learning across a two-site secondary school, working towards Artsmark accreditation in April 2021.
During lockdown, I embraced the challenges of remote learning and enjoyed the opportunity to experiment with different modes of delivery and interaction. TutorExtra has given me the perfect opportunity to extend the influence of over 30 years of teaching and learning expertise. I look forward to working with another new cohort of students as we all forge ahead into the ‘new normal’ of education. If you are looking for a highly experienced and effective teacher of English Literature, particularly when it comes to Shakespeare, then here I am.

Happy to give careers advice on careers in television as well.
I've previously only tutored students in person so I'm excited to try out online tutoring classes! Here's a little bit more about me:
- I studied English Language, English Literature, Media Studies and Psychology at A-Level
- I enjoy reading (obviously) and watching thriller movies
- My academic interest is accent variations and how accents/dialects are represented in online news sources
Online tutoring should give me more freedom with my availability to fit around your busy lives! However, I'm more than happy to discuss in-person sessions in Lancaster on the following days:
Tuesday, Thursday, weekends* *please be aware that as a student, I will only be able to offer in-person sessions during University term-time unless cost-of-travel payments can be arranged.
I look forward to meeting with you! I'm very passionate about my subjects so I hope to make these sessions both fun and constructive!

My latest position was a senior tutor and module leader for the Sino - British cooperation programs between Staffordshire University and Chengdu University of Technology and later University of Stirling and Chengdu University.
When the department announced its plans to expand and open cooperations with new universities and new degrees, I saw this as an opportunity to teach media and journalism on the digital media programme as well as help in setting up a new department at a new partner university.
Profile
My name is Zoë and I am currently 18 and on my gap year with the intent to start university in September, where I will study a course centered around Anthropology, politics and various cultural studies. So far this year I have held the position of pre-nursery and K1 teacher at an international kindergarten in Hong Kong, travelled through the Philippines and have become certified a TEFL tutor; before my gap year is over I am aiming to do some more traveling, gain more qualifications and secure an internship.
Experience
(Kindergarten teacher) Pre- Nursery and k1 teacher at sunshine house international, Tung Chung, Hong Kong, august 2023 - December 2023
This position required me to write lesson plans weeks in advance, coordinate meetings with both parents and fellow teachers and strictly follow a curriculum which I taught to my class of 10 2-3 year olds on a daily basis. More importantly this role forced me to be compassionate and patient, it allowed my to be creative and energetic and it has shown me how to be increasingly empathetic and understanding when explaining or communicating.

summer internship/ work experience with KOOKIE magazine 2022
Internship with 'tweens' magazine KOOKIE allowed me to understand the pressures of selecting, approving and writing content for an audience that could be directly affected by my words. Being a part of an organization built by two strong women, that is centered around educating and captivating children between the ages of 8-12+ with positive and empowering content has truly influenced my perception of both journalism and the ways in which I communicate and teach those around me when in leadership positions.

2023 flooglebinder sustainability and conservation course for young geographers and biologists, Iceland
120-hour Virtual TEFL course - Combined: 2 days classroom Sat-Sun + 100-hours online, 10/01/ tel: *** CCF Army winter mountaineering camp, Dundonald, Scotland
Relying on the skills and experience gained from Duke of Edinburgh expeditions and Army camps and training, I was equipped with the ground knowledge required to safely begin a basic mountaineering course. However, due to extreme weather conditions and the surrounding environment licensed professionals were required to to train all participants in navigation (map and compass skills, navigating through a snow storm, rock navigation etc), basic rock climbing techniques (how to leverage your weight, use a harness, how and where to place your feet and properly climb and down climb) avalanche safety and companion rescue, packing for an expedition, Wilderness First Responder or Wilderness First Aid, the ways in which equipment like ice axes and crampons must be correctly used and snow-holing. All entirely new and daunting challenges that have taught me to carefully listen to instructions while also forcing me think on my feet and calculate a plan in unexpected situations.
Active member of the CCF army company at Ellesmere college- Cadet colour Sargent , NCO
The five years of acting as a cadet has been one of my most treasured experiences of high school.

In addition, in 2020 I was promoted to the leadership position of NCO meaning I acted as a www.*** and ‘coach’ to pupils from all age groups, as well as holding assembly’s in which I would be presenting to a wide variety of audiences on many occasion; all experiences that have contributed to the mindset and attitude I bring into the workplace.

My career has involved the management of change within an increasingly technological driven media workplace. I can offer 20+ years experience in this sector with particular knowledge of supported development and management of student learning. Established through my association with photographic and video work on a freelance basis and my time spend teaching at local colleges and universities. Business development has been a particular interest and success, with experience of all types of video production provision. In 2014 I set up NOW East Durham ( www.*** ), a social enterprise community magazine to ensure job seekers in particular from the 18-24 year age range can engage with a creative “real world” experience to increase their job prospects. We offer local perspectives on issues promoting positive values via an online magazine, social media, and a print magazine coupled with an internet radio station. Our primary aim is to involve the 18-24 year old job seeking demographic, enabling their personal development, improving their employment/interpersonal skills and employment prospects. We hoped to achieve this in particular by increasing confidence and self esteem with removing barriers that would be traditionally by in place associated with the media industry. Diligent, organised and efficient in my work, I excel at multi-tasking and possess first class customer service skills. I enjoy prioritising my workload to consistently produce work of high accuracy with excellent attention to detail skills and a logical approach to problem solving. My professionalism and organised approach enable me to remain calm when working under pressure and I am enthusiastic and conscientious, with a natural ability to deal appropriately with people on all levels. I also enjoy a challenge and am quick to learn new tasks and take on board new ideas. I undertake to try and attend all the conferences held to ensure that I am fully aware of all the current and future debates that involve the work of the photographer.
My working experience in the world of professional media production complement this such as magazine production as an editor and also creating community radio stations these have given my a good contact book which I can draw on when needed. with respect to my work at local colleges I delivered A2 print production to 15 students with all gaining grades of B to A's this year. I can ensure an absolute professional delivery of all aspects of media both theory and practical that is grounded in my own success rate in the past. You can expect guidance and support that reflects the current curriculum and embraces potential changes that are about to take place across the education system.
