Erika Cross has worked as Head of English in prep schools for the past fourteen years, although she originally trained as a senior school English teacher. She believes that children learn best when they are taught by someone with a passion for their subject, and Erika certainly brings that passion to teaching English. Her enthusiasm can be contagious, and the children she teaches always have lots of fun, along with learning a great deal.

During her teaching career, Erika has authored a number of titles but most recently she has co-written the new 11+ English Revision Guide for Galore Park. When she is not working, she loves to read, especially children's literature.
