Online English Literature Tutor Mark

With extensive experience in both classroom teaching and private tutoring, I have worked with students of all levels, from secondary education to A-Level, helping them achieve their academic potential.
As Head of a Secondary and A-Level English Department, I am experienced in overseeing curriculum development, exam preparation, and student support, as well as over fifteen years experience in teaching English Language and Literature at IGCSE and A-Level, focusing on analytical writing, critical thinking, and exam techniques.
As an official examiner for A-Level English Literature, I have extensive experience providing insight into assessment criteria and exam preparation strategies.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I transitioned to online teaching for three months, delivering high-quality virtual lessons to secondary and A-Level students at my current school. I have also developed interactive online lessons using digital platforms to ensure engagement, comprehension, and academic progress, and adapted traditional classroom methods to an online environment, utilising multimedia resources, real-time discussions, and structured feedback.
My teaching approach is student-centered, adapting to individual learning styles to maximize engagement and academic success. I am focused on interactive lessons, critical thinking, and structured learning plans, ensuring that students not only improve their skills but also gain confidence in their abilities.
