My Experience
Where it started?
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! 🐛
What happened next?
I swapped my teaching assistant role for tutoring, and for the past six years, I've proudly taught 46 brilliant children — with many returning for a second, third, or even fourth year!
What's new?
These days, you'll also find me having a smashing time running the Children's Writing Club at HurstWorks in Hurstpierpoint—and with all the laughs, it's hard to say who's having the most fun: the kids or me!
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 group at The Chequers 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!
