I provide bespoke 1-2-1 online tuition to enable my students to learn from anywhere in the world! I teach KS2 - KS5, preparing students for year 2/ 6 SATS, GCSE (AQA, Edexcel, Eduqas) and A level assessments.

MASTER OF ARTS: ENGLISH LITERATURE

My MA provided guided reading on a wide range of critical approaches to develop my theoretical interests. I covered post-colonial, feminist, literary theory and book history. My dissertation considered the impact that the caged bird metaphor had on feminist thinking. I am adept at producing compelling content and am an excellent proof reader with a strong knowledge of grammar and punctuation, which helps when marking students' assignments.

BACHELOR OF ARTS (Honours): ENGLISH LITERATURE

I can rigorously analyse texts and articulate this knowledge to others, which is useful for the successful communication of meaning to my students when preparing for exams. I have a wide breadth of knowledge about how written communication is shaped by circumstances, authorship and intended audiences. I remind my students that it is useful to write about the social, biographical and historical contexts in which plays, poetry and prose were produced because contexts are important to incorporate into exam answers

I deliver English tuition using the latest digital technology for collaborative learning in fun and interactive sessions.

For KS2-KS3 students, I focus on SPaG, reading comprehension of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, and improving sentence and paragraph structure. I use positive reinforcement continuously during my sessions to motivate my students.

I have extensive experience of AQA, Edexcel and Eduqas curriculums for GCSE and Advanced level studies. I teach Ofqual's Assessment Objectives: how to respond to texts, analyse their language, form and structure, consider the relationship between texts and contexts, and to use a wide range of vocabulary and sentence structures. Also, I help my students to understand set texts: prose, plays and poetry, and to improve their transactional and creative writing skills.

I provide bespoke teaching sessions to suit students' individual needs. I support my students through their studies to improve their confidence to answer essay and exam questions. I help students with comprehension by teaching them textual analysis to improve their interpretative skills and offer a lot of past paper practice. As well as sharing my extensive academic knowledge, I am patient with my students', who respond well to my approach and excel under my tutelage.
