My Experience

Somewhere between my English Literature & Education degree and helping a class invent a superhero made of custard, I realised my true passion: inspiring children to discover their story-writing bug! 🐛

Over the past eight years as a teaching assistant and tutor, I've had the joy of tutoring 43 brilliant children in Steyning, Shoreham and Burgess Hill, and I'm proud to say that many of them have returned for a second, third—or even fourth—year!

I’ve also trained with the Bristol Dyslexia Centre and I can't wait to share some brilliant new writing tips & tools with you!

My proudest moment as a tutor was helping a 10-year-old boy, who once found writing challenging, win a writing competition and get published in a book!

My Favourite Things

I'm a big music fan

I even present a music radio show on Mid Sussex Radio!  ➩

I enjoy writing poems

I love performing my poems with my poetry club at The Star in Steyning. If you fancy, you can read some of my poems here.

I teach older people too!

In my spare time, I also teach computer skills to older people around Upper Beeding - it's so great to see them gaining new confidence!
