Hi, I am Niamh, and I want to help you improve in English! I am someone who wants to do what is best to help you. When I was preparing to sit my national 5 English, I found it very difficult and often found myself saying “it’s too hard” but then, I found the perfect way to study… PAST PAPERS! Every week, I will ask you to complete a past paper (of my choosing) and ask you to complete it before the next session, then I will sit down with you and we would have a look at a marking scheme together to see if your improving and how my knowledge and skill in english can help you make your answers even better. No matter how you think you are doing in class, you can always do better. I was pushed by my teacher to do better in english every day, and in the space of a month I had gone from being a C candidate to receiving an A. How did I do this? I completed past papers, wrote essays, annotated any piece of literature I came across, and most importantly, I adopted a growth mindset. Before you know it I have improved myself, my grade and most of all, my appreciation for English as a class. I found that after my grade improved, I was a lot happier and I enjoyed English significantly more than I did when I was struggling, so please, let me help you find your passion for english too !
