My sessions are structured on a case by case basis, according to how you best learn and which texts/aspects I’m helping with. I create presentations which I’ll email after the session - it’s always handy to have them as a revision tool to go back to!

I like to end my sessions with short quizzes on things we’ve covered previously - I’ve found it’s a great way to keep people engaged and to lock things into memory through repetition.

For poetry, each session will focus on a different poem. We’ll break them down one stanza at a time, then look at overall themes, form, and poetic techniques.

For other texts/plays, we’ll look at character profiles, overarching themes, possibly significant extracts of the texts. We’ll work on memorising some key quotes for different themes/characters to get you exam ready and feeling confident!

The overall structure of the sessions is very flexible. If you feel that something isn’t working for you or your learning style, then we can adapt and adjust to best suit your needs.
