English Literature and Language tutor for KS3/GCSE/A-Level

Understanding what makes a powerful and effective essay is a key part of writing and nailing those exams up ahead. My lessons will involve reviewing my student's writing and working together to find elements that need improvement. We will focus on essay planning, cohesiveness, originality, and exam technique. My sessions will not be lectures and require active participation and effort from myself and my student. If needed, I will set small amounts of homework to encourage even more progress.

During my final years in school, I was responsible for leading tutoring sessions for younger year groups, and provided one-on-one tutoring for several of my A-Level classmates. I also achieved the top mark in the world for OxfordAQA English Literature in my 2023 A-Levels.

Lessons with Sarah are always interesting and educational
You will learn how to develop your vocal technique alongside your confidence and performance skills. This includes expanding your vocal range, enriching your tone and improving your control. My sessions are very collaborative and I want you to be comfortable making mistakes! We will find the perfect balance between technique and emotion to make you a stronger performer. I am experienced in several genres including classical, pop, jazz, musical theatre and Arabic, making me able to adapt to whichever style(s) you would like to explore.

English classes for all levels, from children to adults.
In the classes, the objective is to go deeper into all the aspects of English that are more difficult for the students, reviewing at the same time other aspects that have already been acquired so as not to forget them. Normally, the students' mistakes are due to the previous knowledge they have of Spanish, so we can remedy them with practice and continuous correction of exercises. Before starting the private classes, we will try to establish the student's personal objectives in order to shape the classes to their needs.
