Louise

I am an enthusiastic and passionate tutor for GCSE English Literature and Language. I have over 8 years of English teaching experience with a range of age groups from year 7 to 13.

I studied for a degree in History originally. However, upon completion, my love of English led me to work in a school mentoring English followed by qualifying to become an English teacher.

I offer a tailored approach to lessons, adapting to the individual needs of the student and lessons could typically involve revision technique, exam technique and specific skill-based activities (e.g. analysis, evaluation). I can also guide oral assessments if needed.

I currently tutor alongside working part-time as an English teacher in a secondary school where I have had great success. I also have knowledge and experience of AQA and Edexcel (Pearson) exam boards and their mark schemes/ curriculums and criteria. I have taught both specifications in addition to being an exam marker for both exam boards. This has not only helped me to obtain a better insight into the exam board requirements but has also allowed me extensive experience of the texts studied, particularly for Literature.
