I specialise in tutoring English language and literature at GCSE and A Level, and have a proven track record of boosting my students’ grades and helping them succeed. I read English Literature at Cambridge University and hold a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature from The Open University.
I have an excellent academic background, achieving A*s in English Language and Literature at both GCSE and A Level. I have over 4 years experience in tutoring A-Level and GCSE English Language and Literature and have successfully helped all my students progress, grow in confidence and achieve higher grades. I have taught over 650 hours online and possess excellent knowledge of the AQA, Edexcel and Eduqas exam boards. I can teach you exactly what the examiners are looking for and provide you with the exam skills needed to succeed. I am fully DBS-checked and students/parents may request to see a copy of my certificate if needs be.
I can assist you with skills such as in-depth analysis of novels, plays and poetry, using linguistic terminology, understanding historical, social and literary contexts, and correct essay structure. I can additionally provide assistance with your personal statement and your coursework, having helped many of my students excel in their NEAs.
I have taught various classical and modern texts on both the A Level and GCSE syllabus including Frankenstein, Never Let Me Go, The Handmaids Tale, A Streetcar Named Desire, Othello, King Lear, Hamlet, Macbeth, An Inspector Calls, A Christmas Carol, as well as various selections of poetry such as Romantic and Victorian poetry as well as unseen poetry. My teaching style is very friendly, dynamic and patient, and I like to engage my students in active discussions about the subject. I tailor each of my lessons to the individual needs of every student, first asking what areas they struggle with, and then devising lessons that will provide my students with the help they need and effectively engage and motivate them.
