As a specialist English Language and Literature coach and teacher, I will teach your child in this bespoke ongoing writing course to: Week 1 -Develop written composition. Week 2 - Plan and apply different writing techniques. Week - Construct and use a variety of sentence types. Week - Know how language affects the reader. Week 5 - Build and increase vocabulary to incorporate into one's written work. Week 6 - Understand the impact of complex writing and apply methods to different written piece. Week 7 - Learn to build critical thinking and evaluation skills. Week 8 -Create clear, concise ordered paragraphs for an array of written work. Each topic will build from the previous week to build the confidence of your learner to produce creatively sound written pieces of work that any teacher and parent, but most importantly the learner will be proud of. My experience as a fully qualified English teacher and coach will enable me to work with your learner closely. My teaching approach is gently and encouraging, placing great emphasis on encouragement and the power that even reluctant writers will gain independence and confidence in the written arena.
Learning Goals
Students will improve in the different traits of writing, selecting the correct vocabulary, construction of sentences, organisation and development of written idea's.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello and thank you for stopping by to find out a little more about me, although I am more interested in you! I am from London and live in Buckinghamshire in a rural countryside setting. I love the peace and tranquillity of nature and the outdoors.
I have always had a passion for English, ever since I was a little girl and a fantastic teacher inspired me to read and imagine that anything was possible. Fast forward many years, that dream of becoming an English teacher turned into reality for that little girl that spent hours reading and imagining different worlds.
I graduated from Birkbeck University in London, having taken a Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature. I studied everything from Shakespeare through to early 18th Century American Literature. I literally found my calling, I then went to achieve my PGCE equivalent Cert Ed in Education, where I qualified to teach young people aged 14+. In addition to this, I have been a private tutor for children ages 7+ for nearly a decade.
I love working across all age groups, as my approach to learning is both flexible and creative.
The most rewarding thing about my work, is my ability to connect with young people that do not believe in themselves. Teaching English, whether coaching to pass exams, or simply to improve written work or read for meaning, or to develop a hunger for exploring texts, is seeing ‘the moment’, the young person connects with what they are trying to achieve.
So, when I am not teaching, I love to walk my 2 dogs, cook or binge watch TV on Netflix.
If there is not something I offer, please just ask, and I will happily VA VA VOOM it up for you.
