Experienced English Teacher for GCSE Literature and Language

Advert description
Hi, I'm Sara. I offer structured lessons for A Level, GCSE and KS3 English.

I'm a former secondary school English teacher, with a first class honours in English Literature from King's College London, and an MSc from the University of Edinburgh. I have been tutoring and teaching for nine years.

Having worked in a Ofsted Outstanding school, I am very familiar with teaching and learning patterns, working with students of a variety of levels and creating a steady pace that works well for each individual student. Students are always taught with the mark scheme in mind, given consistent, constructive feedback and regularly revise content in lessons.

Working out the base level of each student and catering different exercises and activities to work on their weak areas. I work through different techniques on how to analyse texts and poems, how to structure essays, including developing writing styles to a high standard and achieving mark scheme criteria. Regular assessments are set to test and supplement the work done in class.

I do 1 to 1 and teach online with structured PowerPoint lessons that I share on screen.

Most recently, I had a student who started lessons with me in Yr 10, beginning around Grade 5 and achieving a Grade 8 in her final GCSE exams.

Sara is an excellent English tutor who has genuinely helped me grow as a writer and student . Through her lessons, I feel my vocabulary has expanded immensely , and I now feel much more confident using ambitious and precise language in my work. She has pushed me to think more deeply about structure, analysis, and developing my ideas clearly, which really improved the quality of my writing and my overall grades

Sara is clear, concise and easy to understand. She explains concepts avoiding jargon to ensure the student /audience grasps the message quickly. She made my daughter feel comfortable and engaged in the lesson/course materials - making the lesson fun with constructive feedback and encouragement to create a positive learning environment.
