I have been teaching Politics and History for over a decade, from Key Stage 3 to 5. More recently, I have specialised in Key Stage 5, teaching in a sixth form college and tutoring for NEC. I love my subjects and how they connect. The dynamic nature of A level Politics makes it a fun and engaging subject to teach, with no academic year quite the same. I enjoy encouraging students to explore, challenge and evaluate issues and ideas.  

A level Politics is also a fantastic foundation for further study, not just because of the broader perspective it gives students but also because of the huge range of skills it fosters from critical thinking, analysis and debate, through to a well reasoned written evaluation. 

I have experience of supporting humanities students with applications to Oxbridge and mentor PGCE and early career teachers. Prior to teaching, I had a career in the Legal Aid sector. Working with others to help them to succeed was a key part of that role, as it is with teaching. Outside of work, I love the outdoors, spending time with my family, hiking and a nice cup of tea with a good book.
