I’m an English teacher with a degree in English literature and experience helping GCSE students build their skills and confidence. I’ve taught GCSE resit classes at College level working with a wide range of learners, including students with special educational needs. This has helped me develop a flexible supportive approach that adapts to each student’s way of learning.
I’m also trained in marking English GCSE papers so I have a clear understanding of what examiners are looking for and how students can achieve higher marks. I use this insight to help me help students improve their writing, structure their answers effectively, and feel more confident in exams.
My focus is on making English accessible and engaging. I breakdown challenging texts and ideas into manageable steps while encouraging students to think independently. I give clear and helpful feedback and I aim to create a relaxed and positive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making progress.
