For students seeking help with the English GCSE, I start by explaining how the marker will be grading the exam, what they look for, and the overall structure they should follow. Then, I provide multiple examples of sample answers from past paper questions. I prefer to draft an answer with students first, then allow them to continue. I use a similar structure for students looking for help with university application essays.

I started tutoring by helping my sister and some close friends with university applications while I was still in high school. The more people I helped, the more my skill set expanded, and I became a part-time tutor.
