Experience
I am a fully qualified English teacher with five years of experience teaching IGCSE and A-Level English Language & Literature. I have worked with students across various levels, including KS3, 11+, 13+, 16+, GCSE, IB, and A-Level. My specialism lies in exam preparation, where I focus on equipping students with the skills and confidence needed to excel under exam conditions.My teaching is exam-focused, with a strong emphasis on past paper analysis, exam techniques, and structured writing skills. I ensure students gain a deep understanding of how to structure essays, write analytical paragraphs, and effectively analyse texts and quotations. My approach includes:
• Exam Preparation & Strategy: Developing structured responses, mastering mark schemes, and improving time management.
• Essay & Analytical Writing: Refining essay structure, argument clarity, and depth of analysis.
• Text & Quote Analysis: Teaching students how to extract meaning, explore themes, and engage critically with texts.
• Creative Writing: Enhancing students’ ability to write with confidence and flair.
I have experience working with students of all abilities, including EAL learners, high-achievers, and those who need extra support. I adapt my teaching to suit individual needs, ensuring every student can overcome learning barriers and build confidence in their exam performance.
Exams can be overwhelming and stressful, and I enjoy helping students develop strategies to manage stress and gain confidence. My goal is to make exam preparation feel structured, clear, and achievable. I am known for being thorough and adaptable, tailoring lessons to each student’s strengths and areas for improvement. I provide practical, exam-focused guidance to help them reach their full potential.
