Advert description
I am a qualified English teacher with over twenty five years of experience teaching English in both independent and government run schools and colleges. Having achieved the highest classification in my English Language and Literature degree (First-class Honours), I know exactly what examiners are looking for and how to pass that knowledge on to my students quickly and effectively – ensuring that students of all ages and abilities feel more confident in their English studies from the very first lesson and begin to climb up the grade boundaries after only a few lessons. I ensure that I follow exam board specifications when planning lessons and keep up to date with chief examiners` comments for AQA, Edexel, WJEC (Eduqas) and OCR to ensure that my knowledge is up to date and that I am aware of all of the changes to the English Language and English Literature qualifications.
My approach to teaching is a student-centred one and all of my lessons are delivered in a relaxed and friendly manner, whilst also being tailored to each student’s needs. I work hard to de-mystify the English curriculum so that my students know exactly what examiners are looking for and how they can move up the grade boundaries quickly and easily. Throughout all of my teaching observations carried out by Ofsted and my line-managers, I have always achieved top grades in teaching observations and I am categorised as a highly effective and innovative teacher. Most of my work comes via recommendations and all of my students have a 100% exam pass rate in the academic level they are working at (SATs, GCSE or A level). They frequently out-perform their peers in examinations and teacher-based assessments.
My hourly rate reflects my experience, knowledge and academic qualifications.
