A bit about Rachel C

⭐️ 10+ years teaching in both AQA and Edexcel exam boards ⭐️ 6 years experience as Head of English ⭐️ 2 years as a senior leader ⭐️ 2024 DBS ⭐️ 7 years experience as AQA examiner ⭐️ Calm and kind nature My teaching philosophy centres around rigorous knowledge acquisition underpinned by patience and kindness. I believe students learn better when they like what they are learning and understand why they are learning it. I approach each student as an individual and devise a bespoke action plan for us to make the maximum level of progress. I use rigorous assessment to ensure that I know exactly where your child’s strengths and weaknesses are. I then target these weakness with speed and precision, providing a range of support and challenge to improve interpretation, writing skills, criticality and more. English Language GCSE (AQA, OCR and Edexcel) English Literature GCSE (AQA, OCR and Edexcel) English Literacture A-Level (AQA and Edexcel) English KS3 My experience as an AQA English Literature examiner has given me an unmatched insight into the expectations of the GCSE examinations and this insight translates directly into success for my students. I am able to accurately identify any areas of weakness and target them with precision as well as provide intricate knowledge about how to reach grade 9. I have worked extensively with borderline pass students raising grades from U,1, 2 and 3 up to grades 4,5 and 6. It's my firm belief that no one is born 'good' or 'bad' at English: there are specific skills and knowledge needed that can be taught. Raising the confidence of students is key and I can help to instill this in even the most reluctant learner.
