English (GCSE Lang/Lit, Creative, Essay, Professi)

Hello! I am an experienced GCSE English Teacher (Secondary School teaching for more than 5 year) as well as being an experienced tutor. As well as teaching numerous GCSE students, I am a KS3 English HOD, and also have just completed a Master's in Children's Literature. I am a writing professional with a great deal of experience (particularly in creative fields such as poetry/song, creative writing and journalism), on top of my degree in Creative Writing / Drama (2:1).

The class is taught in:English
In this class, I provide song-writing coaching, personalised to the student, which encourages both the technical and creative sides of song-writing with a view to eventual performance. More than twenty years of song-writing experience, professionally (working with clients UK and overseas) plus personally for my own song-writing / singing career (search for my singing pseudonym Liz Arcane for more information), plus a life of obsessive devoteeism to song-writing new and old, means I can help you however you need: to make one song for an event or to develop your craft overall.
I am an experienced public speaker, actor, singer and performer (as well as composer/songwriter, for which I have posted a separate class) with experience teaching music (guitar, piano, voice) and voice for LAMDA (Drama, Public Speaking) but also singing (LCM Music Theatre; Rock School; ABRSM). I teach Voice holistically, by which I mean I feel use of the voice as a muscle can be developed through speaking and song dependent on a student's needs, abilities, and of course their comfort zone.

The more detail, the better.

Preparing for, and Improving, College Composition and Reading
Despite advances in AI and other technologies, the core practice of excelling in college remains reading comprehension and essay writing. While these tools can act as a band-aid, they do not help students with foundational learning skills overall. With five years of experience in teaching college composition, I am aware of the gaps between high school and college literacy with which many students enter. My course will focus on filling such gaps to improve prospective and current students' overall reading and writing skills to aid in textbook comprehension and essay writing for any class they may attend. In attending my course, you will practice: - 1:1 help with essay edits and writing - Reading and critical engagement with excerpts from typical college material - Short writing drills to improve overall writing towards a college level - Line editing and peer review

Tips and Tricks for Sociology Essay Writing, Targeted to GCSE and AS/A Level Students.
I am eager to help young people feel confident when writing sociology essays. I will place an emphasis on deconstructing the questions students are given by encouraging them to reword the question to offer a different perspective on it. In addition, the main aim of a sociology essay is to convince the reader more and more of the argument you have claimed in the introduction. I want to help students do this by helping them follow the PEAL structure, i.e. Point, Evidence, Analysis, Link back to question. I have found this a very effective and coherent way of structuring an essay. I have studied Sociology for 7 years now, at AS/A Level, Undergraduate Level and now at MSc level at LSE. I was awarded First-Class Honours in my undergraduate as well as 'Best Dissertation of the year' by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. I am seeking a potential career in academia so I truly feel passionate about engaging with the lesson plans on this platform and helping students feel confident in their essay writing.
