Deputy Head of English, teacher of KS3 and KS4 English Language & Literature (AQA) and KS5 English Literature (Edexcel) at an outstanding, top UK grammar school, teacher mentor/trainer and examiner for GCSE English Language. Outstanding student results 🏆 The GCSE Literature texts I specialise in are: An Inspector Calls; Lord of the Flies; Animal Farm; Macbeth; Jekyll & Hyde; A Christmas Carol; Power & Conflict poetry; and unseen poetry. The A Level texts I specialise in are: Dracula; The Picture of Dorian Gray; and Romantic Verse (Blake; Wordsworth; Byron; Shelley; and Keats). I have also supervised A Level coursework on a wide range of texts and authors. I am happy to help with other literature texts too - get in touch and we can discuss! If you require a marking only service with written feedback (bespoke targets and level of attainment according to assessment objects) please do contact me for a lower hourly rate (approx. £25 per exam). Additionally, as a Sixth Form Tutor I have worked closely with students on their university applications and can help with perfecting your personal statement. I have been a qualified teacher for over 10 years so you will be in very safe hands if you choose me as your tutor! I have excellent qualifications which demonstrate how I am ideally placed to help you academically: ✔️PGCE in secondary English - Distinction ✔️BA (Hons) in Philosophy, with 1 year Philosophy & Literature - Upper Second Class, 2.1 ✔️A Levels in English Literature, History, Government & Politics and Art & Design - 4 A grades (this was before the A* existed at A Level!) ✔️GCSEs in 10 subjects - 4 A* grades and 6 A grades. I have a proven track record of helping my students achieve excellent results. In 2024, my two GCSE classes achieved an average grade of 7.8 in English Language and 7.6 in English Literature. The percentage of my students achieving one of the top grades (7-9) in both qualifications was 84%. My A Level class was equally successful with all students achieving A*-C and 74% achieving A*-A grades. As a teacher I have worked with students from different backgrounds and with different needs and fully understand how to personalise teaching to best support each unique student. Please book an introductory meeting so we can get to know each other and I can understand how best to support you in making progress and achieving your goals. Looking forward to meeting you! 🙂
