Archie Taylor

I like to focus on helping students with their writing style, whether that is with any essay-based subject or with creative writing. While my focus is in English and Classics, I can help out with essay writing in any other subject. I have an MA degree in Classical Studies from the University of Edinburgh, and I also took English Literature, Classical Studies and Geography at A-Level, achieving A*s in all three subjects.

In our lessons I can help by reading through your essays to work through areas for improvement, as well as going through exemplar essays together to find ways to improve. I also like to help students work through their syntax and grammar if they are struggling in those areas, so that all round their writing is improved.

As well as this, I can also teach both Classical Studies, Ancient History and English Literature syllabuses. I would do this by asking you what areas you are struggling with or particularly want to focus on, and going through these in more detail than you might otherwise get from a lesson in a classroom. I can do this through powerpoints, worksheets, or sometimes simply discussing the topic casually. I find that with each student my approach can differ, depending on the students specific needs. We can go through this together and decide what teaching might work best for you.

If you are looking for help with English Literature or Classical Studies A Level, as well as English and Ancient History GCSE, or you are looking for help with your essay writing style, please don't hesitate to send me a message!
