Tutoring Experience

I have tutored for four years now, preparing students for their GCSE and A Level exam. Primarily, I teach English Literature up to A Level, French up to A Level, and Maths and English Language up to GCSE, but I am also available for help with university applications and English as a foreign language teaching.

I was in the first year to take the new 9-1 GCSEs, so am particularly familiar with these exam specifications for maths and English.

Tutoring Approach

English literature: My sessions often revolve around brainstorming responses to exam questions together, through this developing key skills such as language analysis and essay writing. Other sessions might be dedicated to something my student wants to work on in particular, for example revising context for a specific text.

French: My sessions for French can be fairly varied, depending on what my student feels they need to work on – this may be an hour dedicated to speaking practice, another look at a particularly tricky grammar point, or revision of particular themes for the exam.

English language: For English language, exam practise is key. The GCSE combines lots of different skills, so normally I dedicate a few sessions to each different question in the paper, this way covering language and structure analysis, inference, and creative writing.
