About Dolores

I have recently graduated from the University of Bristol with a 2:1 in Experimental Psychology. This course required lots of essay writing, so I have been exercising these skills throughout the last 3 years. Before University, I did English A-Level, for which I got an A*, and of course English language and literature GSCEs, which I also got A*s in. I have always enjoyed reading and writing, and while studying English at school came to love understanding the wider social and political context of pieces of writing.

While at University, I have also been an avid member of the Pantomime Society, which produces 3 shows a year and takes a show to the Edinburgh Festival every two years. This experience has allowed me to develop an understanding of how pieces of writing take on a life of their own on stage, which is an essential component to succeeding in English GCSE and A-Level, particularly when studying plays.

About the lesson

I approach teaching for GCSEs and A-Levels from two angles. First, I identify exactly what the syllabus and demands by studying the mark schemes and past papers. This provides my teaching and students' revision with a structure that ensures they are hitting every point the examiners are looking for, to achieve the highest possible marks.

Second, I endeavour to instil in my students a genuine interest in the topics, which I feel promotes understanding, enjoyment, and makes it easier to revise and remember information for exams. To do this I encourage open discussions about the topics covered in the syllabus, and advise students who are particularly interested in pursuing English as a degree or career to seek information beyond their set reading, be it through films and plays, wider reading, or just searching the web.

I am a patient and engaging teacher, and feel well equipped to adapt to students' individual learning styles to ensure they understand the information in the way that best suits them, while also making the experience as enjoyable as possible.
