Adam

I am a personable, fully qualified English teacher who is able to build great professional relationships with students and to motivate them to achieve their potential. I am passionate about both teaching and the subject of English and strive to ensure that all of my students have a great chance at success. With a first class degree in English with Creative Writing, I have the knowledge and experience to ensure my students succeed.

Tutoring Experience

I have been teaching at a mixed comprehensive secondary school for 6 years. This includes both classroom teaching and remote learning using various online platforms and approaches. I have also tutored for over 8 years to various age groups. I have taught a variety of texts and have taken a number of classes of different abilities through their GCSE years, helping them to secure some excellent grades and to achieve their full potential.

I am currently the year 7 curriculum lead for English and have previously worked as a deputy head of year. In my current role, I am responsible for creating schemes of learning for the whole year group, making decisions on what we study, when and how, as well as creating lessons, revision materials and assessments to track student progress.

I have tutored both 1-1 and in groups of up to 6. I would be happy to offer discounted prices if students are happy to learn as part of a small group.

Tutoring Approach

I like to use a blend of discussion, demonstration and independent work so that students are supported in various ways according to the task. I am encouraging and motivating and am able to quickly assess student strengths and targets for improvement. I like to share my passion for literature with students to encourage them to enjoy their learning. As a teacher, I use scientifically backed approaches, such as retrieval practice and interleaving to ensure students' learning sticks, and that they are able to manage the heavy content of English Literature.
