Hi I`m Steph,

I`ve been teaching A Level English for the last 12 years and have experience of GCSE during that time too. I`ve been tutoring A Level and GCSE English for the last 5 years, I know the specs inside out and this is my specialism. I am still a full time teacher, so I am familiar with classroom life, student progress and practical exam strategies and use these to support in the sessions.

I love my subject, to the point where I`m currently studying a Master`s degree in English alongside my teaching job, and means you will see my genuine enthusiasm and dedication for the subject.

As a teacher and tutor my aim is to make sure the student feels as secure as possible. It`s vital the student feels comfortable with learning and doesn`t feel concerned about getting things wrong to get them right. Working on small areas can make a big difference, and I like to reassure students by identifying key areas of focus that will help them with the bigger exam technique.

I have a calm, reassuring and practical approach to tutoring and I`m happy to be guided by the student in terms of content to help them overcome any obstacles and ultimately help them to achieve the best results.

I have a clear knowledge of the different exam board papers and assessment objectives, I`ve marked for both Edexcel and AQA and taught on both these specs for Literature and Language.

Availability: Weeknights only after 5pm

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I currently work in a college and I am the lead teacher, responsible for the planning and teaching of A Level English Language and English Literature on the Edexcel specifications. I have maintained excellent results for my classes. I am also very familiar with the AQA spec.

I have also taught combined Language and Literature, and GCSE English.

I have strong results behind me and I have pulled many tutees up in their grades and have been an examiner for different exam boards.
