Jessica

Hello, I am Jessica. I hold a BA (hons) in English and Theatre and a MA in Shakespeare and Theatre. As well as this, I have a PGCE and teach English at secondary level. I have been teaching secondary English for six years, and have an extensive and detailed knowledge of the AQA English Literature and Language exam specifications. Furthermore, I have also received extensive training in reading strategies which have proven to be highly effective in helping students to improve their fluency, prosody and comprehension at both KS2 and 3.

Tutoring Experience

I have been a qualified English teacher for six years, but have been working with young people since 2015. Further to this, I have privately tutored before (2012-2017).

Tutoring Approach

Depending on the student, tutoring sessions will focus on their area of need. For example, for a GCSE student, the sessions will focus on the exam criteria and ensuring that the student is well practised in the skills required.

For non-exam based sessions, students will have the opportunity to improve and hone skills that they are finding difficult to master.
