I am a passionate and patient tutor who helps GCSE students build confidence, improve their understanding and achieve higher grade

Skills and experience I have strong subject knowledge in English Literature and experience working as a teaching assistant, where I supported students in understanding texts, developing their ideas and building confidence in their work. This has strengthened my ability to adapt explanations, identify gaps in learning and provide targeted support. I am skilled at helping students produce detailed, analytical responses, use quotations effectively and meet exam board expectations. Teaching approach My lessons are structured to ensure a secure understanding of the text, including key themes, characters and context. I guide students towards perceptive, above-average analysis and clear essay writing. We regularly practise exam-style questions and focus on strategies for approaching unfamiliar questions with confidence. I also work closely on areas students find difficult so their knowledge is complete and they feel fully prepared for their GCSE exams.
