Hello! I am a passionate Year 13 student specialising exclusively in AQA GCSE English Language tutoring. Having recently sat the exact same exams and achieved a top Grade 8 (A* equivalent), I know exactly what it takes to excel in the current system.
Because I am currently in sixth form/college, the AQA layout, mark schemes, and exam pressures are fresh in my mind. I understand the struggles students face because I was in their shoes just a couple of years ago. I don’t just teach the material I share the exact revision habits, time-management strategies, and essay-planning tricks that helped me secure my grade. I pride myself on being a relatable, approachable mentor who can build a student's confidence and help them push their marks from a 5 to an 8+.
My lessons are engaging, supportive, and 100% focused on cracking the AQA mark scheme. We will demystify the specific questions on both papers so you know exactly what the examiner wants to see.
A typical session focuses on:
Paper 1 (Explorations in Creative Reading & Writing): Master Question 2 (Language), Question 3 (Structure), and Question 4 (Evaluation), while building highly engaging narrative or descriptive pieces for Section B.Paper 2 (Writers' Viewpoints & Perspectives): Confidently approach non-fiction texts, master the comparison question (Question 4), and learn how to write powerful persuasive pieces (letters, articles, speeches) for Section B.The AQA Formula: Using clear analytical structures (like PEEL or PETER) and learning how to analyse zooms, structural shifts, and tone.Real Past Papers: Breaking down high-grade exemplar responses and practicing under timed conditions.
I offer a free 30-minute introductory consultation so we can look at your current target grades, identify areas for improvement, and map out an AQA-specific game plan!
