The English and Literacy team provide and foster a positive and supportive learning environment for all our learners aged 5 – 18years. Personalised tuition aids learners to progress their reading, writing, speaking and comprehension abilities. Teaching strategies are tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each learner, whether for academic purposes – GCSE Language, A Level exams, test preparation or general language development. A variety of teaching materials and techniques are adopted to strengthen
learners’ language proficiency and literacy skills. More focused support with GCSE Literature is offered during intensive holiday sessions to assist the rigorous demands of the course criteria.
Reinforcing learning and building confidence is paramount when introducing new skills and elements of subject criteria that are crucial for success. Support is tailored to address the specific needs and challenges learners may be experiencing. Individualised plans are designed to bridge any gap between the learner’s current performance and expected levels for GCSE. A strong foundation in basic grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing skills will ensure learners have a solid grasp of all essential elements.
GCSE English Language
Providing intensive practice and coaching in reading, writing, speaking and listening skills ensures all learners have a clear grasp of essential skills required for success. Initial assessment will provide vital insight into learner strengths and areas for development. Personalised programmes of tuition and guidance are developed to reflect learner needs and build confidence and also reduce any anxiety related to exams.
GCSE English Literature
Essay writing is a crucial component of GCSE literature assessments.
Intensive and structured support through detailed analysis of set texts and poems enables learners to explore and understand themes and character nuances as well as gaining familiarisation with literary techniques and historical context. Learners receive guidance and tutoring in essay structure and writing style.
Tuition provides in-depth analysis of literature texts and poems that are included in the A- Level syllabus. Learners receive direction to understand themes, literary devices, historical
context and literary criticism. Guidance on structuring essays, developing strong arguments and improving writing style helps learners to develop confidence with their own independent interpretations and perspectives.
As there are so many different options of books that schools can select, we are planning on providing intensive tuition days during holiday time. Each day will focus on a different book so you as parents can choose the correct course for your child. Sign up now to receive information regarding our intensive courses.
