Advert description
I'm a personable and accessible tutor who builds confidence and trust through empathy and humour. My long experience in teaching disadvantaged or otherwise challenged students of all backgrounds helps build rapport as the key to effective learning. I am 100% dedicated to the task of improving pupils' exam grades through technique and practice.
I teach only GCSE English Language and Literature, for AQA, Edexcel and Edexcel International examination boards. I have privileged access to examination texts, question papers and mark schemes going back over 10 years, and have advance knowledge of the structure of the next year's question papers.
All my lessons are structured around practicing answering real exam questions, because that is the only proven method of improving grades. We read a text, deconstruct the meaning of the questions and practice writing structured answers that maximise the available marks in the time available. Practice, practice and practice are the key secrets to success!
