Baljeet

I am an experienced English tutor and qualified teacher, GCSE examiner, and former Lead Practitioner, with 15+ years of teaching English Language & Literature across KS3, KS4, and KS5. I have a 2.1 English degree from a Russell Group University; PGCE and a nationally recognised qualification in Leading Teaching.

As a parent myself, I know the challenges of finding a suitable school, choosing a tutor and how to decide (!), reading books and educational resources. Please be assured, many, many students find English confusing. Hopefully, I can help!

-I offer online tuition to provide flexibility and convenience for the student and family.
-I work with a range of abilities. Students can be struggling, confused, confident, need help with perceptive responses (top of mark scheme), unmotivated. I can teach how to read from scratch.
-I offer bespoke intensive sessions during weekends for exam preparation.
-I am available during the day for students who are home-schooled, international or have any other circumstances. Please message me for more information on timings.

Experience: Since each student has their own needs, lessons vary in nature but typically, for GCSE students in year 10 and 11, I help by:
- using my knowledge as an examiner to give targeted support. I keep up to date with knowledge about the examination process. Changes have been made this year to AQA English language GCSE and will impact any year 10 students.
- help with revision.
- Identify gaps in knowledge - using my experience of student misconceptions, struggles and challenges. I tailor support to a student’s specific needs in line with the exams.
