S Woody

I am fully qualified teacher of English with a First Class BA (Hons) in English Literature and Creative Writing and a Masters degree in Creative Writing with English Literature for which I was awarded a Distinction. I have worked as a teacher for over twelve years; prior to this, I worked in academic publishing. Additionally, I have been an advisor on two A Level English Language and English Literature text books, ghost written a book on poetic metre and form, and have designed online courses for various education companies. Having lived in China, Togo and Hungary, I have travelled widely within Asia, Africa and Europe. I now work as a full-time online tutor, specialising in entrance examination tuition for both British and international students. When I am not teaching, I love hiking, going to the gym, doing yoga, spending time with my family and reading.
