Dynamic interesting lessons where the text is always central teaching you how to gain depth to your analysis and explore the text more meaningful. I will teach you all the skills needed to get those extra marks to guarantee a high grade. I use a range of strategies depending on your needs tailored to suit you. I have experience of teaching all the current KS4 texts as well as choosing more up-to-date texts to teach you the skills while also keeping it fresh and inspiring, so that you develop a longer term love of reading for pleasure. I am also the literacy lead at my school and can signpost for those with literacy difficulties and suggest solutions and interventions that will work for your individual needs. I have a particular passion for poetry and language paper 2, and have been twice published in peer reviewed journals. I have a passion for Victorian and Gothic fiction, and use these texts to make Dickens and Shakespeare more accessible for you. I tend to initially use the language papers to assess where the gaps in your knowledge and skills are, before moving on to fixing any gaps in knowledge and gradually building your confidence to analyse language form and structure on your own with careful scaffolding and modelling strategies. I have a wealth of resources carefully curated over my years of teaching and these are constantly being updated and refreshed. Adaptive teaching is essential to me, tailoring your learning to your needs. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
