FAQs

I specialise in English Language and English Literature at GCSE and A-Level. I also support students studying essay-based subjects, such as Philosophy, where clear argument, analysis, and written expression are central.

I have experience teaching across all major exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC. Lessons are always tailored to the specific specification, assessment objectives, and set texts a student is studying.

My tutoring is suitable for students who:

• Want to improve their confidence and understanding in English

• Are aiming to raise their grades

• Need support with essay writing, analysis, or exam technique

• Are working towards high grades and want to refine their skills

​

I adapt my approach to suit each individual learner.

All sessions are delivered online, through Google Meet. This allows for flexible scheduling and access to a wide range of high-quality resources. Lessons are interactive, structured, and carefully planned to ensure students remain engaged and supported.

Most sessions last 60 minutes, which allows time for explanation, discussion, practice, and feedback. Longer sessions can be arranged where appropriate.

Each lesson is tailored to the student’s needs, but may include:

• Close analysis of texts and exam questions

• Developing and refining essay-writing skills

• Targeted exam practice and technique

• Clear, constructive feedback and guidance
   

Lessons are structured and focused, with clear learning goals.

Yes. I provide focused support for revision and exam preparation, including:

• Understanding assessment objectives

• Planning and structuring responses

• Timed practice questions

• Building confidence ahead of exams

Where appropriate, I may suggest independent tasks to support progress between sessions. Any work set is purposeful, manageable, and directly linked to lesson content.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss a student’s needs, goals, and current challenges. This provides an opportunity to ask questions and decide whether tutoring would be beneficial, with no obligation.
