Bernadette

A qualified and experienced English teacher having taught KS3, 11+, GCSE and adult learner since 2012 and on-line tutoring since 2020. I tailor every lesson to the student`s needs and preferred learning style, making their lessons highly effective - helping students to achieve results whilst nurturing a passion for the subject.

Be it a single lesson or a series of lessons - development and progression of grades will occur. I always suggest additional study tasks, practical exam tips and exam styled questions with each lesson.

Topics at KS3 and GCSE: Shakespeare, poetry, prose analysis, creative writing and 19th Century literature. Punctuation, spelling, reading skills and the basics of writing English.

A traditionally published author since 2017, I also teach creative writing to adults of all abilities - from complete beginners to polishing a submission. Monthly mentoring sessions are available for aspiring writers. Please don`t ask me to read your entire book and give a critique for free, it takes me about 14 hours to read a book so I don`t undertake such tasks - I`m not a proofreader, editor or blogger.

Availability: I offer on-line tutoring hours during weekdays and weekends - afternoons and evening sessions.

I`m now accepting early-bird bookings ready for September 2025/26.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: A qualified teacher since 2012 teaching KS3, GCSE and adult learners, plus three years of on-line tutoring. I give talks and teach creative writing to adults - either one to one or in workshop groups.

Alongside tutoring: I`m a traditionally published author since 2017 - currently 14 published books.
