About Russ
I qualified as an English teacher in 2016 and have since taught across Key Stages 3 and 4 using the AQA syllabus (Macbeth, Jekyll and Hyde, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, Power and Conflict Poetry, Language Papers 1 & 2). I have also trained as a marker for AQA on the English Language Paper 2 exam and so have extra experience in this syllabus. Previously to this I have 9 years experience working in secondary schools as a Teaching assistant and an EAL assistant so have great experience working with SEN or EAL students too. I have also delivered masterclasses in poetry, fiction and playwriting, as well as facilitating preparation sessions for students participating in Debate Mate.
I am a great lover of English and so enjoy teaching the subject and seek to inspire the same feelings towards learning in the students I teach. I believe that all students are capable of learning but sometimes they might have barriers to the learning, and so with my experience in SEN and EAL I am able to support students in becoming confident in themselves to then become successful English students. I have taught students from all attainment levels, so I am able to support students at the lower end of attainment who might need a little confidence boost, as well as stretching students at the higher end of attainment by providing access to higher level and theoretical texts.

My teaching approach is that all students are capable of being excellent English students, and with a little guidance each student can make progress every lesson. I try to make learning English a fun and engaging activity, so I encourage as much conversation as possible. I try to tailor my lessons to each student so that they are personal and involve the student's interests and hobbies.
I encourage practise in the four main areas of the subject: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening. I feel this is the best way for students to build their confidence and to develop their key skills.
At the end of each lesson I always focus on areas of strength and one area that can be developed further, but always with a thought of the student's well-being too.
