GCSE English Language and Literature / A Level Literature

From 50.12 Fr /h

I specialise in tutoring adults and students English language and literature at GCSE and GCE level. My goal is to build students' confidence in reading a range of texts and writing with variety of audiences in mind. I ensure i use challenging, topical texts that are guaranteed to engage the learner and have fun doing so. I can set further academic, pre exam prep ( PEP) tasks linked to the session that build on prior learning ( aka homework). I use National curriculum and exam board marking schemes and levels in line with your school / college.

These sessions are best delivered in a sequence based on certain aspects of any given exam paper. The focus is to learn how to confidently navigate each section and question per paper. You will learn to skilfully apply the appropriate knowledge and skills per question in a forensic approach to completing each question to a high standard. You may want to get a grade 9 or you may want to get a grade 5- no matter what your ambitions, I will support you to achieve your best before sitting the exams.

Extra information

You will need copies of the exam paper and a work book / laptop to take notes in. Good idea to have some post its too.

About Me

I have been teaching for 30+ years and I am am English examiner also. I have tutored adults, GCSE and GCE students who have struggled to gain the best grades either through lack of confidence or disrupted learning. I am firm but fair. I have a very good sense of humour but I also like to establish the 'boundaries' of our work so that we both know what is expected. I will work hard for you but expect the same from you! coming to the session prepared to learn and on time are two of the basic requirements for success.

I have worked in schools, in Local authorities and UK wide working for the DFE. What this means for you is that I am up-to-date and ready to go! There really is no gain without some pain. I am here to minimalise the 'pain' and expertly guide you to aim for the best you can be. English is at the core of any job and important for general life skills. Working together, you are more likely to succeed.

English should be a subject that is enjoyable to teach and learn. It requires a special method of teaching which I go by. I believe that each individual student requires their own unique methods of teaching, my role in this is not to teach English to everyone, it is to learn each of my student's strengths and weaknesses and adapting my lessons for them.

Come along for some fun lessons that include exercises and sessions to improve your listening, speaking, and writing skills.

A recent English Literature graduate, I am keen to impart my knowledge and passion to others. I have experience tutoring GCSE and A-Level students using AQA and OCR, though I am open to studying the specifications of other exam boards if need be. This, alongside my experience as a babysitter, taught me the value of remaining patient and emotionally in tune with the needs of others. I ensure that my sessions are enjoyable and tailored to the needs of each individual student as I believe all students possess different learning styles and work at different paces.

I look forward to hearing from you!

These core subjects are compulsory for qualifications to continue studying after school, or to get your dream job.

The skills and knowledge you gain in these topics are even important to everyday tasks.

My high achieving grades allow me to easily pass on information to other people.

Real world tasks are powerful such as youtube videos that I created. I believe that they are authentic and you can learn communicative language in real context.
Use of songs are also powerful in speaking in that it always leads repetition in. vocabulary.

English language at primary level consist of comprehension, composition, vocabulary and grammar. Vocabulary acquisition and further development of these skills is essential for success at 11+ in both English and verbal reasoning and for success in SATS.

I have been tutoring since September and have thoroughly enjoyed helping my KS2 students in working on their English skills in preparation for both SATS and 11+. Following achieving my GCSE results, I now feel more prepared to move onto a larger range of subject.

I prepare my lessons in advanced, resourcing materials from a plethora of sites and cross-referencing a variety of websites, making sure I teach the most relevant contents.

I achieved 10 GCSE grades, with a grade 9 in English Literature, Language, History and Religious Studies, a grade 8 in Geography and an average grade of 7.8 across the board. All my grades were the equivalent of A* to B, the majority being A* and A equivalent.

Communication with parents is also key and I would deliver this through weekly or bi-weekly bulletins for groups and parent emails and phone calls too.
