Hayley Yeates

I am a British, English native individual and having a Master of Arts in English, I am very experienced in my field of expertise.

I have been teaching GCSE/IGCSE English Language and English Literature for eleven years now. I have had the privilege of not just teaching A level/GCSE students in London, but IGCSE and ESL in Islamabad, Pakistan as well.

I am currently teaching IGCSE Pearson Edexcel English Literature and English Language, but I am open to teaching and preparing students for OCR, Cambridge and AQA specification additionally. Thus, I have recently become an examiner for AQA ESOL as well.

Moreover, I am able to give preparation for the 11 plus examination, ESOL and IELTS as well.

In 2023, I had the privilege of receiving two Outstanding Teacher Awards for English Literature: Pearson Edexcel High Achiever's Award Ceremony and I have attended professional Teaching training courses for my specialisation of expertise too.

I am a competent teacher, who is skilled, compassionate, professional, emphatic, punctual, hardworking and patient.

I like to use a mixture of resources and methods when I am teaching, such as PowerPoint displays, in-support videos, exercises, essay based questions, past paper practice questions and build-up/prep questions for the examination.

It is important to read the materials in class and discuss. This will be done through PowerPoint presentations, lectures, essay based questions and exercises/prep for examination questions and exercises.

Moreover, I like to give independent student activities and tasks that coincide with the syllabus, specification and exam/past papers preparation. This will not just be prep/examination/essay style questions, it will be an independent/research project too.

Last, but not least, I tailor my lessons to suit each student's personal needs and requirements.
