About
Hi.
I’ve been teaching English for 14 years to students from years 7 to 12. I’m passionate about persuasive, expository and creative reading and writing. I have also worked for years as a literacy improvement leader and can support students in speech preparation and delivery.
I’m very approachable and encouraging with my students. As a long time educator, it will come to no surprise that I care
deeply about learning and seeing growth. I am conscious that learning works best when it is personalised and of interest to the student so I try my best to apply this philosophy in my practice.
I’m available for one-to-one tutoring or online tutoring.
I’d love to hear from you if I you think I can be of help.
Thanks,
Leah

Reviews
Character references
Leah is a former colleague, teaching secondary English and was in a mentoring/leadership role. Her dedication and professionalism are second to none, and her knowledge of the curriculum and required skills is comprehensive. Leah always had brilliant ideas for students to approach their studies from multiple angles and learn practical skills which could be applied and transferred. Any student receiving individual tuition from Leah would be a step ahead and should consider themselves privileged.
