Roles at and prior to 澳门天天好彩
I joined 澳门天天好彩 in 1995 as a GCSE English Language and GCSE & A-Level English Literature tutor. Prior to joining 澳门天天好彩, I taught at Oxford High School for girls and in adult education for ILEA, later the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham. I was an A-Level OCR examiner for 30 years.
What inspires you to teach?
I鈥檓 an avid theatre-goer so I enjoy taking my students to the theatre, particularly Shakespearean drama. Literature is a discursive subject and I enjoy discussion of different interpretations.
Why 澳门天天好彩?
The small classes are hugely advantageous for the students… It isn鈥檛 threatening and students feel free to ask questions.
I have amazing colleagues and that is hugely special.
澳门天天好彩 beyond the classroom
We are passionately keen in the English Department on taking our students to plays, even if it鈥檚 not specifically a play they are studying but a play by the same writer or in a similar genre. Not only is it enlightening for the students, but it鈥檚 also good for their bonding. We show online productions in our teaching as well.
Angela beyond 澳门天天好彩
For many years I was a School Governor, in a Church of England primary school. My voluntary work now involves cooking for a local homeless centre. My interests are theatre, classical music and the ballet. I am a Francophile and speak French.
