Students will extend their level of comprehension, spellings, inference and writing skills as well as reading and analysing short stories, limericks and poetry, persuasive writing, onomatopoeia, alliteration, personification, metaphors, and similes. 

I have more years of experience than I care to think about (!) in delivering English to children from primary age, right through to young adults. I have taught many young adults who failed to pass their English GCSE in school to gain the almost equivalent Functional Skills English qualification after they have left school. 

This is a topic I am extremely passionate about - literacy skills are a vital necessity in life. If a person can read, they can learn. If they can read, they can write. If they know the rules for grammar and punctuation, they can write well! If the classes are fun, they learn even more. These classes are fun!

Outside of Outschool, I also work as a proofreader for students at two local universities and as an editor for authors of both fiction and non-fiction books. I am also a published author.
