GCSE English Language and Literature / A Level Literature

From 88.39 C$ /h

I specialise in tutoring adults and students English language and literature at GCSE and GCE level. My goal is to build students' confidence in reading a range of texts and writing with variety of audiences in mind. I ensure i use challenging, topical texts that are guaranteed to engage the learner and have fun doing so. I can set further academic, pre exam prep ( PEP) tasks linked to the session that build on prior learning ( aka homework). I use National curriculum and exam board marking schemes and levels in line with your school / college.

These sessions are best delivered in a sequence based on certain aspects of any given exam paper. The focus is to learn how to confidently navigate each section and question per paper. You will learn to skilfully apply the appropriate knowledge and skills per question in a forensic approach to completing each question to a high standard. You may want to get a grade 9 or you may want to get a grade 5- no matter what your ambitions, I will support you to achieve your best before sitting the exams.

Extra information

You will need copies of the exam paper and a work book / laptop to take notes in. Good idea to have some post its too.

About Me

I have been teaching for 30+ years and I am am English examiner also. I have tutored adults, GCSE and GCE students who have struggled to gain the best grades either through lack of confidence or disrupted learning. I am firm but fair. I have a very good sense of humour but I also like to establish the 'boundaries' of our work so that we both know what is expected. I will work hard for you but expect the same from you! coming to the session prepared to learn and on time are two of the basic requirements for success.

I have worked in schools, in Local authorities and UK wide working for the DFE. What this means for you is that I am up-to-date and ready to go! There really is no gain without some pain. I am here to minimalise the 'pain' and expertly guide you to aim for the best you can be. English is at the core of any job and important for general life skills. Working together, you are more likely to succeed.

Creative Writing is a subject for those with imagination, talent, and a passion for literature, film and television, poetry and so much more. Whichever pathway you wish to discover, this class will give you the necessary skills to develop and explore different styles of writing, giving you an example of industry-standard work.

This class can help you work towards English Language/Literature/Creative Writing qualifications at many different levels, hopefully inspiring you to pursue a university education or career in this field. However, if you simply wish to explore your talent in fiction writing, I can provide insight into the industry and university level education of this subject.

A recent English Literature graduate, I am keen to impart my knowledge and passion to others. I have experience tutoring GCSE and A-Level students using AQA and OCR, though I am open to studying the specifications of other exam boards if need be. This, alongside my experience as a babysitter, taught me the value of remaining patient and emotionally in tune with the needs of others. I ensure that my sessions are enjoyable and tailored to the needs of each individual student as I believe all students possess different learning styles and work at different paces.

I look forward to hearing from you!

These core subjects are compulsory for qualifications to continue studying after school, or to get your dream job.

The skills and knowledge you gain in these topics are even important to everyday tasks.

My high achieving grades allow me to easily pass on information to other people.

Real world tasks are powerful such as youtube videos that I created. I believe that they are authentic and you can learn communicative language in real context.
Use of songs are also powerful in speaking in that it always leads repetition in. vocabulary.

My lessons are based on standard conversational (informal) Persian spoken by mainly the middle-class educated people in Iran. I teach in three beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels:

The beginner level is mostly focused on basic grammar and vocabularies and you will learn to make simple sentences and handle basic conversations.
In the intermediate and advanced levels you will gradually learn more vocabularies, will make more sophisticated sentences and will be more confident in communication in Farsi.
In the advance level you will have lessons on particular subjects such as cooking, weather, houses, cities etc and thus you will learn related vocabularies and slang.

All the lessons are designed and written by me and all are supported by plenty of examples from everyday life.

In my class, not only yоu will leаrn Persiаn but yоu will also knоw аbоut аmаzing Irаniаn culture,music, pоetry. You will never get bored during the lessons as I cаn аlsо teаch yоu sоme eаsy sоngs in Persiаn, we will talk about delicious Iranian food ( I am going to give you some recipes in Farsi as a part of lessons) and will even listen to some Persian songs!!
We are practicing four skills together, Listening, Writing , Reading and Speaking. Also, you have homework at the end of each class.

I have been tutoring since September and have thoroughly enjoyed helping my KS2 students in working on their English skills in preparation for both SATS and 11+. Following achieving my GCSE results, I now feel more prepared to move onto a larger range of subjects.

I am passionate about helping students to do the best that they can and to reach their potential. It is hugely rewarding to see progress being made.

I achieved 10 GCSE grades, with a grade 9 in English Literature, Language, History and Religious Studies, a grade 8 in Geography and an average grade of 7.5 across the board. All my grades were the equivalent of A* to B, the majority being A* and A equivalent.

I believe that the best way to teach is through gathering and creating a large range of resources to ensure that all necessary content is being covered and that content is being accessed through a variety of mediums that will allow for it to be learnt and understood quickly.

Furthermore, at this level, working with examination questions is essential. It is vital that students familiarise themselves with mark schemes and I will make sure to teach students how questions are marked, ensuring that the right structures are used too.

Communication with parents is also key and I would deliver this through weekly or bi-weekly bulletins for groups and parent emails and phone calls too.

Finally, I would focus on revision methods and make sure that you have access to a range of strategies that will make your learning experience more enjoyable, engaging and successful.

Message me for a discussion and so I can confirm availability and offer more realistic, updated time slots.
