A bit about Ciara

With over 5 years of tutoring experience, 8 years teaching experience, a Secondary English PGCE, and a background in examining for AQA English Language, I am well-equipped to guide students through their KS3 and KS4 English journey. My expertise extends to working with diverse student groups, including those with special educational needs (SEN) and high achievers; challenging high achievers is an area I am particularly interested in, completing a research project on this area of pedagogy within my training year, achieving a first, confirmed this. However, I am confident working with students of all abilities: building a rapport with students and breaking tasks into manageable sections is a strength of mine, often making rather complex, extended essays much easier to approach. My teaching experience lies with AQA English Language and English Literature – the set texts I specialise with are Macbeth, An Inspector Calls, A Christmas Carol and Power and Conflict Poetry – but I am able to revise and cover examination technique with any set text for the Literature examination. I also teach IGCSE Edexcel English Language and English Literature, with similar set texts with the addition of Of Mice and Men. I am passionate about fostering a love for the English language and helping students reach their full potential. I love embarking on a learning experience with students to help build confidence and boost grades. I have a B.A (hons) in English Language from the University of Manchester, therefore my specialties lie in the field of English: English Language KS3 and KS4 and English Literature KS3 and KS4. Texts that I teach for AQA Literature are Power and Conflict Poetry, Macbeth, An Inspector Calls and A Christmas Carol. I have experience teaching English KS2, KS3, KS4 and KS5. I have taught WJEC, AQA and Edexcel GCSE English Language and Literature examining boards. I also teach Edexcel IGCSE English Language and IGCSE English Literature. I have also tutored and prepared students for their 11+ examinations.
