I am a second year university student, looking to further my passion of teaching English. I have extensive experience working in teaching roles, and am dedicated to use my knowledge to help build the students’ confidence in both the subject and themselves. We will begin by looking at core skills such as comprehension and literary evaluation, focusing on using specific terminology as well as accurately applying this knowledge to questions. Once the student feels secure in this, we may look to applying these skills to longer texts, incorporating themes and context in order to build an exam-style response.

For a short period of time, I assisted at a secondary school as a temporary teaching assistant, where I was able to shadow professionals, assist students in written and oral work, as well as lead some of my own KS3 lessons.

In terms of subject specific knowledge, I achieved a grade 9 in both English Literature and Language at GCSE level, as well as spending several months tutoring these subjects informally. I have most experience with the AQA exam board, however, I am prepared to work with other exam board specifications as well.

I’m also well familiar with English Literature at A Level (also under the AQA exam board), and am confident in what the specification is looking for.

I am prepared to be flexible in my teaching style, and use a variety of methods and resources to ensure my students get maximum support from each session.

My priority will always be my student and their development as a learner.

I work weekdays, usually between the hours of 16.30 and 20.30, with the duration of each session being one hour long. In addition, I work exclusively online, and am unable to hold in-person lessons.
