Hey all! I'm an English teacher, currently living in New Zealand. I have a couple of years experience teaching years 7+. I have experience teaching in both England and Ireland and have taught all exam-level content. My lessons mainly focus on discussion-based learning, alongside lots of peer-feedback.
