Hello, I`m Louise, a PGCE qualified English Teacher and successful 1:1 tutor. I have been teaching for 8 years and for 7 years as a professional tutor. I have a first class honours degree in English from the University of Exeter and I love sharing my knowledge and passion for my subject.

At reasonable rates I can offer tailored lessons and personalised learning plans to suit a student needs. I have taught people from a variety of different backgrounds, abilities and experience, and specialise in final year GCSE skills, offering key exam strategies and preparation, helping students improve their analytical and writing skills, elevating their grade through a greater understanding of metaphor, figurative language and symbolism. I have knowledge of AQA, OCR, Edexcel & iGCSE exam boards and I am a former examiner for AQA.

Key GCSE Literature texts include: A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's dream, Animal Farm, Jane Eyre, Pride & Prejudice, Jekyll & Hyde, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Whale Rider, Of Mice and Men, To Kill a Mockingbird, Love & Relationship/Power & Conflict poetry and Unseen Poetry.

I love English as a subject and I am keen to make a tutoring session with me a rewarding and positive experience. My approach is student-centred and communicative, where learning is enjoyable as well as a steady progression towards improvement. My aim is to help my students gain confidence and to achieve success.
