Online English and German Lessons

*!!FREE TRIAL LESSON!!I specialise in GCSE English Language and Literature, working privately online and in schools to provide tuition one-to-one after school hours or in the daytime for home-schooled students. I focus particularly on Years 10 and 11, helping students with content, skills, confidence-buiding and exam technique. My teaching style is relaxed but professional to achieve the results you need. ; I aim to get the best out of all my students!

I am also able to teach English as a Second Language and German at GCSE level.

Tutoring Experience

I hold a teaching qualification (PGCE) and a DBS clearance. I have several years' experience of helping students both in the UK and in Europe. Feedback from students and parents (see below) is testament to my ability to boost students' confidence and guide them to achieve the grades they need.

Over several years, I have worked online with pre-GCSE and IGCSE students, via teaching agencies in their homes and also with small groups in schools. I am thoroughly familiar with the range of exam boards' requirements, including AQA, WJEC, EDUQAS, EDEXCEL, SQA etc. and their specific exam formats.

Tutoring Approach

I tailor my lessons to suit individual needs. For GCSE students, I focus on confidence and skills-building and coach students in how to approach their exams to best effect. Together, we examine what is really required by each exam question and develop writing and reading skills to achieve the best possible marks for individuals. My tutoring uses exam board-approved materials and past papers.
