Elinor

I have been a classroom English Language and Literature teacher of KS3-KS5 for 8 years. I graduated from university with a first-class honours in English in 2013, and in 2016, I graduated with a PGCE in Secondary English. In the last 5 years, I have carried out online private tutoring and in the last 2 years, I have also managed the school library where I currently teach.

Specialist areas:
- The following GCSE texts: Jekyll and Hyde; Romeo and Juliet; An Inspector Calls. I also teach The Great Gatsby and Great Expectations at A-Level (Pearson EdExcel).
- The GCSE AQA exam board (8 years). I have also tutored to the GCSE EdExcel exam board for 2 years.

I use Google Drive for live teaching and editing, working with students collaboratively throughout sessions. This is alongside Zoom calls, so we have 'face-to-face' interaction. I find online tutoring more efficient than in-person, as resources are available at a touch, and all work is saved automatically for future reference and editing. I email links to Zoom sessions before each call, and provide individuals access to their lesson folders on Google Drive. All students need is a Google email address.

Each session is tailored for the individual's current need and is planned for efficiency and enjoyment; I will get to know how students learn best, and what they most enjoy, and plan sessions based on these preferences. Mini assessment points are used to measure progress and identify areas of ongoing need, as I would carry out in the classroom.

I look forward to meeting you!

Please note, I do not teach English as a foreign language or at KS1-KS2 level.
