My lessons are more conversational in tone, as English is a subject which requires opinions and talking points to be understood fully. Dependent upon the type of student you are, I can adjust my manner of teaching to best suit you - whether you require something more free-form or rigid, I will be happy to help you produce excellent work to a high tier.
When working with specific texts, I will have usually read most things which are dealt with at GCSE or A-Level, but I would be happy to provide my services for texts which I am not yet familiar with, given that I am allowed time to read into it beforehand. It is important to note that the fundamentals of a good piece of work in English are universal; they apply to any text. Therefore, I will provide lessons on essay structure and help you as a student to understand more about what in particular your examiners are looking for in your work.
Most importantly, however, is the fact that English is multi-faceted. When I tutor you, we will be looking into more than just the intention of the author, and instead delve into our own interpretations and how we can best bolster that by reading around the subject area. It is key to remember that every piece of literature is trying to say something about the world we live in, and by studying English with me, you might learn more about yourself and the world around you. As well as how to get a great grade in your work, obviously!
