My lessons are designed to be interactive, engaging, and tailored to each student’s needs, creating a supportive and motivating environment. I know the GCSE curriculum inside and out, having been through it myself with 100% A*s in both English Literature and Language, followed by an A* at A-Level English. I understand what it takes to meet exam requirements while developing a true appreciation for English.

Each session typically begins with a quick review of previous material to ensure understanding and retention. We’ll then dive into the day’s topic, whether it’s analysing a text, exploring essay structure, or tackling exam-style questions. I use engaging presentations with visuals, key quotes, and structured frameworks to help break down complex ideas, making learning both accessible and enjoyable.

In our lessons, you’ll gain:
1. **Close Textual Analysis Skills:** I’ll guide you through breaking down texts, looking at language, structure, and form, and showing you how to uncover deeper meanings and themes.
2. **Essay Writing Techniques:** You’ll learn how to plan, structure, and write strong essays, with a focus on clarity, coherence, and critical analysis.
3. **Exam Preparation:** I incorporate past papers and timed practice to build your confidence and time-management skills, equipping you with strategies to approach different types of exam questions.
4. **Interactive Discussions:** I encourage questions, debates, and exploration of ideas, which helps solidify understanding and boosts analytical thinking.

With my experience as both a high-achieving former student and a tutor, I’m dedicated to helping you not just achieve high grades, but also build lasting skills that will benefit you across subjects and in future studies. My goal is to help you become a confident, articulate student who approaches English with confidence and enthusiasm.
