Emily Senior English Tutor
Improve and Enjoy
My commitment to my students, from primary children through to adults of all ages, is to inspire them to enjoy not only the results that I help them achieve, but also how we get there, including the sessions with me and the subjects we cover. My training and experience enable me to uniquely tailor my tutoring around each of my students. This ‘Improve and Enjoy’ approach is both effective and highly rated by my students, online or face to face, across all my tutoring, irrespective of their ages, needs and goals.
For school age students
To help and inspire young people to achieve and exceed their goals in 11+, GCSEs and A’ Levels, I provide English, English Language and English Literature tutoring. I stay abreast of latest curriculums and what examiners are looking for.
For adults and students with specific goals
Having taught adults for many years, as well as young people, I understand the key areas in which people commonly want to improve, or that they want to enjoy more. It could be due to personal ambitions, development needs at work, school or college, something to enrich leisure time, or to help teach a younger person. I currently provide tutorial sessions on the following:
Grammar and Punctuation
These sessions aim to brush up all aspects of writing, such as grammar rules, syntax, commas, colons, semicolons and spelling rules. There are many self-help books available, but sometimes it is necessary to have a real person to explain and to ask questions of.
Creative Writing
The other side of the coin to reading, practising and improving in creative writing can be hugely enjoyable and fulfilling. In my sessions, I work with people to improve the quality of their expression in poetry or prose.
Shakespeare
Have you ever wished you could appreciate Shakespeare more? I am proficient in Old English and Middle English and my sessions uncover the wonders of Shakespeare’s poetry and drama.
Poetry
Poetry is a great joy and comfort in my life, and my sessions are designed to inspire the same in my students. We analyse the techniques of poetry writing including structure, enjambment, imagery, alliteration, assonance, rhythm and rhyme.
Teaching Your Child English at Home
Teaching your child can create a lasting bond and memory as you work towards a shared goal. These sessions include an overview of the exams and marking schemes. They equip you with the necessary techniques and activities to make your teaching more effective.
