Summary
Hello, I am an English and Philosophy teacher with experience teaching English often to recalcitrant learners and those with oppositional defiant behaviour. I am a learner as much as a teacher and am currently expanding my knowledge of the Religion Studies syllabus with Chobham. My ambition is to teach Philosophy and Religious Studies alongside English language and literature. Please have a look at my experience and qualifications and if you think I may be of use to you don’t hesitate in contacting me.
