Rebecca

I am a friendly, creative and dedicated English tutor, whose key areas of focus are English GCSE/ IGCSE (AQA; Edexcel; OCR; Eduqas; CIE) and English Literature A-level (Edexcel; AQA) tuition. I have a strong track record in helping students achieve their hoped for grades (up to 9/ A*).

I support students in their understanding and analysis of texts, essay writing, coursework and exam preparation.

Recently taught A-level drama, prose and poetry texts include: Othello, A Midsummer Night`s Dream, Twelfth Night, A Streetcar Named Desire, Doctor Faustus, A Doll`s House, Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights, Mrs Dalloway, Hard Times, The Handmaid`s Tale, Never Let Me Go, Atonement, The Great Gatsby, Skirrid Hill, The World`s Wife, the poetry of John Donne, John Keats and Chaucer, as well as Romantic Poetry, the Edexcel Poems of the Decade anthology and the AQA pre-1900 anthology. I am able to support students in their analysis of unseen prose and poetry.

My work in education, in both mainstream and SEN settings, has spanned six years; I have a BA HONS. 2.1 in English and European Literature (University of Warwick).
