About Julie
My passion for teaching, learning and student wellbeing spans over 25 years and currently I am teaching in local colleges and privately.
In conjunction with teaching duties, I hold internal and external moderation roles ensuring quality teaching and provision is delivered in colleges throughout the southeast. I have designed, planned, delivered and marked assessments and so can focus my teaching on specific skills for exam success.
In addition to my academic credentials, I hold certificates in mental health and counselling to support the wellbeing of my students in a more holistic way. Ongoing and regular CPD ensures my knowledge and skills remain up-to-date and relevant.
I have three grown up children, 4 cats and a dog. In my spare time, I can be found walking or running on the South Downs or sipping wine in Italy during the holidays.

pitcher38914 April 2024An amazing tutor! Julie really helped with my A-level English; how to structure essays, write concisely and clearly and always relate back to the question asked. She also broke down certain concepts and themes in coursework assignments, explaining their significance, in addition to excellent exam training and support. I cannot recommend her highly enough!Donna Dougharty14 April 2024Julie was absolutely amazing with my son. He was diagnosed with dyslexia just a few months before sitting his GCSEs. He was never a very big reader but Julie was so encouraging and her careful tutoring helped him grow in confidence. After much hard work from both Julie and my son, he was ecstatic to pass not only his English Language but also English Literature as well! He has now gone on to excel in his chosen career which he would never have been able to do if he hadn't got those results and we will be forever grateful. Cannot recommend highly enough.
