Online English Literature Tutor Leonie

I hold a PhD in Drama and I am a passionate and dedicated teacher of English and lecturer in Drama. I have over 10 years experience in supporting students with special educational needs to excel and I am committed to ensuring my students make outstanding progress against their starting points. I am passionate about making sure all students feel empowered in their learning no matter their starting point and have successfully guaranteed a progress of an average of 2-3 grades for each student I have taught. I empathise both with students who share my passion for English and Drama as well those who “just need to pass” and my non-judgmental approach makes every student feel confident and supported at the end of my lessons.

I have over 5 years experience teaching secondary students as a qualified teacher (QTS) and extensive knowledge of the GCSE and IGCSE specifications. I have lectured for 4 years and tutored university students on both BA and MA courses. My areas of expertise are English Language, Literature and Drama.

I am verified psychometric assessor for cognition and learning including IQ, handwriting speed and accuracy and working memory, all used for Access Arrangements as well as SEND provisions. Furthermore, I am qualified to support students with dyslexia. As a former SENCO and SEND leader I have ensured outstanding progress in literacy and exam outcomes for all students.
