Louise

I am a highly skilled and qualified Lecturer in English Literature and Language with over 20 years` experience of teaching English from GCSE through to degree level.

I hold a B.A., M.A., and PhD in English. I am also a qualified teacher and have an additional qualification in Teaching English for Academic Purposes from The University of London.

I have designed and implemented courses in both Higher and Further education and have taught a considerable range of subjects from Shakespeare to contemporary poetry. This varied academic background has enabled me to build strong communication skills and to develop excellent motivational abilities. I strive to take an engaging approach to teaching and am proficient in identifying and accommodating individual learning needs and providing techniques to improve writing skills within a short space of time.

Experience: I have been a private tutor for over 7 years now and am very familiar with all the exam boards, in particular AQA as I have taught this syllabus for many years now.

I am also an English specialist assessor for the exam boards OCR, CIE and IB in both GCSE and A level examinations and am thus very confident with the assessment objective criteria and how to improve grades accordingly.

In addition, I have experience of tutoring for the 11+ examinations and can offer help with comprehension and creative writing skills for this exam.

Finally, I am a qualified editor with previous experience of working for publishing companies such as Penguin Books. I can therefore also offer a professional proof-reading and editing service for written work such as essays/coursework/articles.
