LoginZoe - Liverpool tutor
Information About Zoe:
Personal Description:
I approach tutoring with patience and enthusiasm, focusing on exam technique to prepare the student for GCSE or A Level English Literature and/or GCSE English Language exams. I have comprehensive knowledge regarding the AQA English syllabus and mark schemes for both Literature and Language, but I am happy to adapt to the exam board in which the student will be examined by.
I achieved a grade of 9 (equivalent A**) in both English Literature and English Language GCSEs, and achieved a grade A in English Literature A Level. I am currently an Undergraduate student at the University of Liverpool studying Law.
I strive to encourage a love of English in students and to support them in tailoring their writing to the objectives of the mark scheme, in order to achieve the highest marks possible.
This tutoring would be suitable for Year 10 students preparing for mock exams and for Year 11 students who will be sitting their GCSES. I will tailor the lesson to be suitable for the grade ambition of the student, whether that be to achieve a pass in English or to achieve a higher grade to support further studies at Sixth Form or college. For A Level English Literature students, I will nurture the transition from GCSE to A Level, and support the student in adapting to their new course and excelling in their studies.
I have always been naturally inclined to support others and to share my passion for English Literature and Language. From my sister teaching me to read when I was younger, to my English teacher supporting me throughout my 7 years of education at school, I understand the importance of patience and personal passion for your chosen subject.
Teaching Experience:
I have tutored both Literature and Language, providing tailored sessions and outlining a clear and structured tuition plan for the student. Personalising my teaching to each individual student has proven to improve not only grades but also confidence, which encourages better performance and overall an enjoyable learning experience. Furthermore, I have also taught in classrooms teaching English abroad, an experience which greatly developed my teaching techniques and approach.
Furthermore, I have a personal passion for creative writing, which I am passionate for sharing with my students to prepare them for the often heavy-weighted creative writing questions on their GCSE language paper. I was awarded the Athenaeum Young Writers' Award in 2023, and since then I have been published in numerous anthologies for both fiction and poetry.
Tutoring Approach:
I provide a completely tailored approach to tuition, as every student's needs are personal. I work closely with my students to develop a learning experience that is most beneficial to them, rather than a generalised structure like that within a classroom setting. My sessions are interactive and productive without being overwhelming, focusing on developing skills over a number of sessions so that come exam time, the student is well prepared and confident.
