Esther

I am a dynamic and popular teacher of many years standing. I have a first degree in English Language and Literature from a Russell Group University, a PGCE in Education and twenty years experience as a teacher of English Literature and English Language to students age 11 - 18 in a popular Suffolk secondary school. I live in Woodbridge and before teaching had a successful career in magazine publishing.

Tutoring Experience

I work as a Teacher of English in one of Suffolk's most popular and successful state schools where my role has includes being Gifted and Talented Co-ordinator and Head of A-Level English Literature. I teach English to students aged 11-18, specialising in GCSE and A-Level. Away from the classroom I have been employed in the training of new English teachers by Suffolk County Council. I also run a Debating Society (helping students to success in national competitions). I have extensive experience of tutoring students one-to-one and a proven track record of helping attain outstanding GCSE and A-Level results for my students and tutees. I have been an A-Level examiner for AQA for the last six years and also have experience of preparing Year 13 students for ELAT.

Tutoring Approach

I offer a friendly and approachable tutoring style underpinned by secure knowledge of the English curriculum from KS3-KS5. I am aware of the examination requirements of all major exam boards (currently teaching EDUQAS and AQA). I am experienced at preparing students for GCSE and A-Level exams. My warmth, academic rigour, high expectations of all tutees and proven track record of success with a wide range of students make me an ideal choice for your child.
