Techniques and Teaching Methodology: - I focus on building clarity and confidence, especially in areas students often find challenging — like analysing unseen texts, structuring essays, and mastering exam technique. - My sessions blend model answers, exam board guidance, and interactive discussion, so students develop both knowledge and exam skills. - I use retrieval practice, scaffolding, and guided writing to help students retain content and improve steadily over time. - Where appropriate, I incorporate real-time feedback and collaborative annotation, especially useful for poetry, drama, and coursework support. Typical Lesson Format: - Lessons usually last 60 minutes, although longer or shorter sessions can be arranged. A typical lesson includes: - A quick review of previous learning - A focus on one key skill or topic - Exam-style practice or discussion - A takeaway task or revision strategy - Lessons are conducted online via Zoom or Google Meet, or in person if local. Qualifications & Experience: - BA in English, University of York - PGCE in Secondary English, University of Oxford - 3 years of classroom experience teaching GCSE and A-Level English Literature and Language - Extensive experience supporting students across a range of abilities, including those working towards grades 4–5 as well as those aiming for grades 8–9. Who My Lessons Are For: - GCSE and A-Level English students (Years 10–13) - Students preparing for AQA, Edexcel, or OCR exam boards - Those needing exam coaching, coursework help, or general confidence-boosting - I also welcome KS3 students (Years 7–9) looking to strengthen foundations ahead of GCSE
