As of September 2022, I began my teacher training (PGCE - with QTS) with The University of Bristol on a part-time schedule. I am due to graduate in January 2024! I have been tutoring since January of 2021 and have fallen in love with being able to inspire the same passions (in some cases) I have for literature into others.
I have been tutoring now for two years, working within schools and private clients in the Bristol area.
