Information about Alan
*** I know all the GCSE exam boards, including the iGCSE boards (Oxford AQA, Edexcel) and most of the Literature texts - if I don`t know one, I`m happy to read, research, plan and prepare for it! ***
I usually get back to students within the hour, ignore the "10 hours" stated in my profile.
In addition, I only tutor online - so there are no clashes with other work commitments.
Outstanding Teacher, Subject Leader and Examiner in English Language, English Literature, Media Studies, Literacy and English as a Second Language! I know all the exam boards pretty well and I can also offer support and training to teachers and student teachers.
I have been tutoring students of all ages since 2000, when I took on a mature A Level student to help her with her essay writing skills whilst I was still at university. I started teaching in 2002 and taught in a range of Secondary schools, after-school clubs, evening schools, weekend and holiday revision and also in a Primary school provision at the weekends. My calm and patient manner will put you at ease and my engaging and well-planned lessons, with a key focus on instant feedback, will help you make that outstanding progress you are after. I tailor my lessons to you, focusing around your needs and interests, in order to make the process of online tuition a pleasant and rewarding learning experience.
Availability: Note, I only teach online, not face-to-face.
