My Quiet Little Corner

By: Ella Horsington
  • Summary

  • A podcast from my corner of the world, with talk about teaching, well being, and English Language and Literature.
    With a focus from my position as a secondary teacher at an Academy in Somerset, I discuss interesting words, language devices and literary techniques. With tips on how to support your well being as a student, I also look at life from the perspective of a parent of young children and marvel at their own adventures in the world of English Language and Literature.
