I provide support in English Literature and Language at GCSE level for the AQA Specification. I provide support by using past exam answers and helping students to acknowledge what is good and what needs improving. I teach them to know what examiners want from them in the exam by reading mark schemes.

I encourage students to do real past exam questions to help them get used to the writing style that GCSE demands and later on how to do it comfortably in timed conditions. I use my past work and books from my GCSEs which I undertook in 2023 to provide analysis examples and writing examples to help students understand further what is required of them.

The typical length of a lesson would be 60 minutes, however I am happy to do 90 and 120 minute lessons if the student desires it. These lessons are for GCSE students ranging from Years 9-11. I have one year experience as a tutor where I took a student from a predicted 5 in English Literature GCSE to a 7. I took the same student from a 6 to an 8 in English Language GCSE. I have also undertaken an A-Level in English Literature.
