I took my undergraduate degree at Oxford, then a masters and PhD in London. When I was a Postdoctoral Fellow of the British Academy I realised my vocation as a tutor and teacher. I trained as a school teacher and have enjoyed teaching 11-18 year old in schools in the state and independent sector.
I have published articles in top rated journals and most recently in the E-magazine of the English Media Centre, aimed at A Level students.
Writing poetry is another passion, but I'm not published, yet! And I really enjoy teaching Swedish and Norwegian dance!

Very informative and very patient tutor.
Good first impression. Obviously a one hour frame is extremely narrow, therefore perfecting the exhibition will require much longer; looking toward to future lessons:)
