I provide tailored group/ one to one sessions from students of all abilities.

In supporting GCSE students as an English tutor, I will draw on my experience in tutoring and sitting my own exams as a student at this level. My approach begins with understanding the specific needs and goals of each student. This includes identifying the exam board they are following and assessing their current working level. To ensure tailored support, I will: 1. Assessment and Personalisation - Begin by determining the exam board (AQA, Edexcel, etc.) and assessing the student's current level and understanding. - Identify their strengths and areas for improvement through initial assessments and discussions. 2. Customised Lesson Plans - Develop lesson plans that align with the student's aims and needs, ensuring that each session is focused on their individual progress. - Tailor lessons to address specific topics within the exam specification, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all required material. 3. Focused Skill Development - Work on the structure of their answers, guiding students on how to effectively organise their essays and responses. - Teach context, helping students understand the historical and cultural background of the texts they are studying. - Provide strategies for embedding quotations seamlessly into their writing, enhancing their analytical skills. 4. Exam Preparation - Use exam-style questions to format sessions, allowing students to practice and become familiar with the types of questions they will encounter. - Conduct timed practice exams to build their confidence and improve their time management skills. By following this structured approach, I aim to build the student's confidence, improve their skills, and ultimately help them achieve their academic goals.
