A question from Sherpa to Kate L...
Available now for Easter revision lessons - book your Year 11 and Year 13 exam masterclasses. As a former Head of English, with 12 years of teaching and tutoring experience, I specialise in teaching: • GCSE English Literature • GCSE English Language • A-level English Literature • A-level English Language. I also worked at the exam board AQA for six years, so I love sharing exam tips and tricks to help my students feel really confident in the exam. In GCSE English Literature, I will help you build your essay writing skills and confidence so you can get the best grade possible. I love teaching all texts and can help you with: • Shakespeare including Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet • Modern texts like An Inspector Calls, Blood Brothers and Animal Farm • 19th-century classics like A Christmas Carol, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Frankenstein, Pride and Prejudice and others • Poetry, including Unseen and Poetry Anthologies including Love and Relationships and Power and Conflict (AQA) • Language, structure and form – learn how to analyse texts and write about the effect on the reader If you are studying a different text, let me know and I'll happily help with that too! I teach all the exam boards. In GCSE English Language, I can help you to read and annotate unseen texts confidently and build your writing skills too. We'll work on exam strategies, so you manage your timings effectively and ace your exams: • SPaG skills • How to read unseen fiction and non-fiction texts • Creative and descriptive writing • Writing articles, letters and speeches • Exam tips and tricks In A-level English Literature, I love helping students with their NEAs and to develop their analytical and essay writing skills. I taught A-level for over 10 years and my 85% of my students achieved A*-B so I know I can help you to improve your grade too! Whatever text you are studying, I can help you! In A-level English Language, I particularly love working on NEAs and I can help you to get really strong marks in your commentaries by building your knowledge of the systematic frameworks of language, including grammar, semantics and discourse analysis. I can help you with all aspects of the A-level: • NEAs: Original writing and Language investigations plus expert guidance on commentary writing • Examiner-trained • Child language development expert
