National 5 & Higher English - First One Lesson is !

Advert description

I have an Honours Degree in English Language and Literature, and qualified as a Secondary English Teacher in 2013, with a PGDE from Aberdeen University.

Having taught English to S1 through to S3, National 5 and Higher since 2014 in Aberdeenshire schools.

Now I tutor part-time to allow me to focus on my own studies; allowing me to finish my Master's Degree in Art History with the Open University.

Having tutored for over ten years, I have experience of a wide variety of texts, and how to approach the exam questions. Also, focussing on RUAE which students can find challenging until the realise what is required of them.

Normally I set up a WhatsApp group with pupil and parent to ensure all communication is visible to everyone.

Please note - I will not write folios, and follow the SQA Guidelines regarding help a candidate receive. This is to protect you from being accused of getting help.

I charge £50 an hour for 1:1 visits - whether online, or in person.

Currently based in Aberdeenshire and I also spend a lot of time in Edinburgh.

Please get in touch if you want to discuss me helping.

Alan was a great tutor during my Higher English and helped me to understand RUAE better. He was great at giving me constructive feedback and didn’t hesitate to be straight to the point even if it was a bit harsh. Ten out of ten. Amazing Tutor

Absolutely great, he taught me how to actually understand poems and what the writers are trying to say. He made me analyse videos and articles to find new words and what they mean. He helped me study for my English exam. A very amazing tutor.

Alan worked with my daughter over 3 years, helping her develop skills, understand the curriculum, grasp what was required for exams. His advice and tutoring were exemplary and helped us gain high grades in the exams. I was copied in to all correspondence; he helped us plan ahead, and additionally improved grammar, structure and encouraged individuality and flare. I would engage Alan again at the drop of a hat!
