I give affordable english lessons for GCSE English language and literature

Advert description
As a recent sixth form leaver, I am very up to date with the English language and literature GCSE syllabus; I am passionate about English and helping other students to maximise their potential; I look forward to working with English students and helping them progress. Usually, I will spend the majority of my sessions teaching my students the content - testing their understandings as I go, and taking them through my notes before having them complete a series of tasks and practical questions which I will then mark and discuss with them. However, I have had students which prefer to learn in other ways, for example with essays I have found it is typically more beneficial to walk students through example and past essays, and then compare them with their own.

I believe that, once basic knowledge is secure, students obtain the greatest benefits from perfecting essay skills, looking at exam questions, and closely analysing literature. A typical lesson with me would involve clear, in depth instructions to improve your written work. I am happy to do both online and in-person tutoring, for online lessons I use online platforms to allow for discussion, giving detailed feedback and as much guidance that would be available in a classroom. I understand that English may not come as an easy subject for some students, and I take pride in helping students overcome what could possibly be a slight fear of error and criticism; I'm here to help and I would never want anyone to feel like they couldn't ask for it. In my eyes there's no wrong answer when studying English. I focus on achieving substantial progress in my sessions to motivate students and build their confidence, also helping them become more independent.
