English for GCSE students for language and literature

Hello! My name is Hafsa, and I am passionate about English literature and language. I recently completed my GCSEs with AQA, achieving a grade 4 in both Language and Literature. I've studied key texts such as Macbeth, An Inspector Calls, and various war poems from the Power and Conflict anthology. My approach to learning and teaching is interactive and engaging, incorporating modern methods such as watching film adaptations to enhance understanding of historical and cultural contexts. I'm from East London, and I'm excited to help students excel in their English studies.

Throughout my studies, I've developed a deep appreciation for English literature and a keen understanding of the AQA GCSE syllabus.

I have a knack for making literature relatable and accessible, using a variety of techniques including discussions, multimedia resources, and practical exercises. I understand the importance of aligning lessons with common textbooks like AQA English Language and Literature resources, ensuring that students are well-prepared for their exams.

I focus on creating a friendly and supportive learning environment. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and I tailor my teaching to meet individual needs. Whether it's dissecting Shakespeare's language or understanding the social context of a play like An Inspector Calls, I aim to make each lesson interactive and enjoyable. My goal is not only to help students achieve good grades but also to instill a love for the subject that goes beyond the classroom.

I offer classes for GCSE students, particularly those following the AQA syllabus. My lessons are suitable for students of all levels, whether they need help with basic concepts or are looking to refine their analysis and writing skills. I have experience working with teenagers, understanding the challenges they face and providing guidance to build their confidence. Each session is structured to cover key syllabus content, practice exam techniques, and provide personalized feedback on assignments.
