About Matt
Hi,
I am an inspiring (and inspired) teacher with over fifteen years' experience. I have taught all over the world, in London, Prague, Poland, Tuscany and South Sudan. I enjoy teaching and am particularly good at tailoring lessons for individual's needs. I expect a lot from my students but lead by example, putting in a lot of effort myself to draw on my students' strengths, interests and skills to bring the best out of both of us.
In addition to my teaching, I am also a widely-published poet with three books to my name. My poetry publications include a prize-winning pamphlet, a first collection and a book of translation, while my poetry has appeared in numerous journals. I run the annual Somerset Young Poets competition, and am well-known at schools across the county. As a teacher, I have worked with the Poetry Society and the Arvon Foundation, the John Betjeman Prize and the George Orwell Society. In 2018, I won a Literature Matters award from the Royal Society of Literature. I have an MA (distinction) in Creative and Life Writing.

Matthew taught English as a Second Language and Creative Writing for 6 weeks in the summer of 2018.
I am the Director of Summer School at Taunton School and have worked with Matt in 2018 and 2019. He is a very passionate and creative English teacher and a favourite amongst our students. His enthusiasm is infectious and he is able to adapt his lessons to include a wide range of abilities. He is reliable and always acts professionally with students and his colleagues. He has mainly taught older students at Summer School (12-17). He has also offered English Enrichment Activities such as Creative Writing and a unit on Myths and Legends. Matt has also taught English for Academic Purposes and Study Skills on our 10 day Pre-Sessional courses for GCSE, IB and A-Level students.
