Michaela

Specialist in supporting resitting students and adult learners to achieve English Language GCSE grade 4 or above.

I have been teaching English Language GCSE for ten years, with a focus on those students who need support with resits. I am also an examiner for AQA English Language GCSE. I have helped many grade 2 or 3 students achieve their grade 4, and many even higher.

I believe when resitting GCSEs, 1-1 support makes a huge difference: it`s not always possible to get this in the classroom. My approach is very much a positive one, and I really enjoy getting to know my students and using resources that interest them.

Whether you are looking for support with a resit, are predicted a grade lower than a 4 in school, or are achieving higher than a 4 but want to do even better, please get in touch!
