Firstly, let me welcome you to Bespoke Educational Services. As a teacher with almost twenty years of classroom experience, I am well placed to assist you in fulfilling your potential. I taught, for extensive periods, in all areas of the primary sector before moving into secondary education and middle-management. At each stage, I was placed in key areas of the school, to aid transition, from EYFS all the way up to A-level - particularly looking at entrance to Russell Group universities and Oxbridge. For me, the importance of teaching is to ensure that the teacher is responsive to the needs of the pupil; you cannot fit square pegs into round holes! Too often, teachers rely on text books or expecting the pupils to adhere to their methods - I believe that this is wrong. An outstanding practitioner will flip this mentality and become the one who reacts and responds to their learners' needs. Online tuition can achieve this much more successfully, building a rapport that allows the teacher to understand each individual for exactly that - an individual. With so much experience, it is likely that I can work with you to ensure that you get what you need. Perhaps this is homework help or consolidation of your learning; perhaps it is the need to approach texts in a different way; perhaps it is simply to ensure that you are crafting your written work in the best possible way. Whatever you need, please get in touch and I will be happy to help you to achieve your goals, as your online tutor.

My Work Research Researching the stories we tell ourselves and other people; both historically and the present day – I delve into stories in academic research, the media, memoir, diaries, fiction, art as well as myths and fairy tales to understand the dominant narrative. Write Writing my own stories. I don’t ask other people to do anything I haven’t done myself, so my research includes autoethnographic or creative work of my own. Writing myself into my work is integral to understanding and shifting the narrative. I also work in creative collaboration with others. Facilitate Helping others tell their stories. My aim is to encourage diversity, complexity and specificity. There are no quick fixes, tidy endings, or moments of complete resolution in life and the stories we write and create will ideally represent this. Stories don’t need to be straightforward narratives, so I offer tips and techniques and make space for blends of different types of writing (eg poetry, lyric essays, journals or reflective writing) or other understandings of stories such as craft or visual representations. Curate Sharing stories. I aim to do all that I can to help little-heard stories shake the hearts and change the minds of policy makers and other people who keep the dominant narrative going. I do this by commissioning, editing and publishing stories of community and co-production on Ideas Hub; organising events; speaking at conferences; creating online archives; and writing and publishing articles about my work.
