We will focus on the main texts you're studying (AQA for GCSE and AQA B for A-Level only) and go through key scenes, important details and the different methods the authors use to convey their messages. We will also consider relevant contexts that will help you to understand the texts better!

We will also learn how to write an essay skilfully and practice this to refine your writing skills. I will provide you with the ingredients on how to get the top marks, which will help you grow in confidence when it comes to mastering English Literature, which can be a difficult subject for a lot of students! We will look at mark schemes and model answers to decode what examiners want from students, which will help you to write great essays, from the introduction to the conclusion.

I currently study English Literature at Durham University, and got an A* for English Literature at A-Level, you're in safe hands! I've worked with students and have done tutoring before, so I have experience teaching students and getting them ready for their exams, so they can answer questions with confidence!

Preferred texts for GCSE (AQA only):
- Macbeth
- Jekyll and Hyde
- Lord of the Flies
- Power and Conflict poetry.

Preferred texts for A-Level (AQA B only):
Aspects of Tragedy- Othello, Death of a Salesman, John Keats
Social and Political Protest- The Kite Runner, William Blake.

I most certainly can adapt and do different texts, I will just need time!

I can also teach English Language for GCSE and A-Level (AQA only), and Psychology A-Level (OCR only)!
