Information about 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.

Creative writing for adults - adhoc sessions when you feel the next session is required.

My son went from a Grade 2 in his English GCSE mocks to walking away with a Grade 6 this summer, thanks to the weekly tuition and support from Bernadette. Bernadette was incredibly calm, patient and encouraging, and really brought out the best in my son. She helped build his confidence as well as his skills, and we are absolutely delighted with the result. I can highly recommend Bernadette to anyone looking for an English tutor. We are extremely pleased with the progress my son made and couldn’t be happier with his final grade.

Bernadette had structured lesson plans while also adapting to individual needs and requests. This helped me immensely with preparing for my English Literature and Language GCSE’s and I achieved 2 grades higher than expected.
