As well as teaching secondary students, Jess has extensive experience tutoring KS2 students as well as adult learners. In addition to her teaching roles, Jessica was a Head of Year for many years as well as Head of Subject. These leadership positions have allowed her to bring her pastoral background to her practice alongside confidence working with SEND students, vulnerable students and those with a broad range of additional learning needs. Jessica’s educational experience has seen her work with multi professional groups to create bespoke learning plans for students and partner with home educated pupils to form part of alternative educational package arrangements. Enthusiastic, supportive, passionate and caring; Jess loves to learn and support others with their goals.
When not teaching, Jessica can be found with her head in a book, cooking, spending time by the sea and attempting to get better at running!
