GCSE: English Literature and English Language lessons

I am familiar with many examining boards, such as AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel.

My goal is to:
- Provide personalised support to help the student overcome their academic challenges, instilling confidence in the topic.
- Strengthen the student's understanding of exam board 'Assessment Objectives', equipping them to approach exams strategically. (Exams are like a game - knowing the rules makes success easier).
- Enhance writing skills by reinforcing PEA structure (Point, Evidence, Explain) for clear and effective responses.
- Offer practical advice on revision techniques, study tips, and tools to boost the student's performance.

I achieved two 9s at GCSE in English Literature and English Language in 2017.
I earned an A in English Literature at A-level in 2019.
Graduated with First-Class MA Honours in English Literature from Edinburgh University in 2024.

About Me

I am a 23-years-old graduate from Edinburgh University with first-class honours in English Literature. I am eager to leverage the skills I have honed throughout my degree, including critical thinking, writing and literary analysis, in a role as a personal tutor.

I am also well-equipped to tutor Latin language and literature, having studied it until my second year of university. Additionally, at school I achieved an A at A-level and scored 100% UMS across all modules at GCSE.

I am also a passionate artist, having achieved A* at both GCSE and A-level. I further pursued my interest by studying Art at Foundation level after leaving school. I have continued this passion throughout my time at Edinburgh, attending weekly life-drawing classes to further develop my skills

English Language - Writing, Speaking, Listening Comprehension
Can learning English be fun, insightful, productive and effective at the same time? I believe so! Whatever your background or profession, deciding to learn a foreign language is a great way to add another dimension to your life and make your mind work in a new way. You become a (slightly) different person, since along with a new language, one learns to look at the world in a slightly different way. This is why my approach to teaching English is not only aimed at laying or strengthening the foundational knowledge - grammar, speaking, writing and listening skills, but also at introducing students to the culture of the English-speaking population. We will find out what English speakers find funny, what drives them to tears, what makes them feel proud and what they get embarrassed about. Open to students of all levels, my course usually is taught online, using a variety of visual aids and a wide range of material, from textbooks to YouTube videos. In teaching advanced learners, I often refer to pieces of literature such as novels and poems, since they easily spark discussions, which in turn improves the students' grasp and feel of the language. In doing so, I take students beyond ordinary textbooks and grammar books, since they are no more than guides to learning, not absolute authorities, and because to me language is a living, constantly evolving matter, which you must submerge yourself into in order to understand. In addition to my unorthodox approach, what sets me apart is a collection of unique, language-related experiences, which translate into a good ability to understand nuances of the English language. A native Russian speaker, I have lived in the UK for over 5 years, went to a Scottish boarding school and have even completed a university degree in English. Thanks to my linguistic and cultural competency, I will make sure that you are never lost in translation! Are you interested? Then contact me today!

I will provide you with specific revision techniques and tailor teaching sessions to your learning style in order to help you attain the highest grades possible.

Hiba
Learner English for beginners and all other learners
Acquiring additional languages will broaden your horizons; it will enable you to interact with a greater number of individuals and enhance your social network, while also enhancing critical thinking skills from diverse perspectives that may result in significant career opportunities. Cultural awareness, improved communication skills and enhanced academic performance are just a few of the benefits of learning new languages or improving your language skills. For an academic student, I would monitor their current classes, design exercises to enhance their proficiency and concentrate on identifying and ameliorating their weaknesses. In a lesson for a volunteer learner, I would prioritise speaking practice, since the pronunciation of certain syllables is essential.

My course is not prescriptive, and we'll meet your voice wherever you're at right now. You'll be taught by a published poet with work experience in the UK and North America.
