In this engaging class, students will explore classic and modern literature whilst developing their own storytelling skills. Through interactive discussions, fun writing exercises, and personalized feedback, students will learn to analyze texts, enhance their vocabulary, and express their creativity. They'll dive into imaginative worlds, build compelling characters, and craft original stories, all while improving their reading comprehension and writing techniques. Students will be expected to complete a homework task weekly. The pieces will be marked and given feedback, alongside a discussion about the piece itself. This class intends to improve the students understanding and knowledge of English Literature and Creative Writing, through fostering a love of the texts given, and empowering young writers to confidently share their voices.

English Language and Literature are compelling and multifaceted subjects that offer a deep dive into the art of communication and the power of storytelling.

I can aid students from preschool to IGCSE/GCSE level in English, Verbal Reasoning, and essay writing. Having achieved an A* in both English Language and English literature, I am passionate about teaching children how to love the subject and excel in their examinations. I have tutored English in the past to both preschool and IGCSE pupils, offering a dynamic and interactive teaching style that helps nurture a child's love for English and creative writing. I have access to the poetry pamphlet taught in most schools for IGCSE, but can access whatever syllabus is needed for a specific exam. I also have created several worksheets for students who are learning English as their second language. Having studied French, German, and Latin at school, I am aware of the etymology of many words which will allow students to connect meanings across their language to understand the literature fully. In my free time, I write poetry and novels and can share many teachings I learnt on a creative writing course I undertook in 2016.

"Teaching is the one profession that creates all other professions." Someone has rightly said that teachers give us comic artists, filmmakers, astronauts, and entrepreneurs. Without teachers, we wouldn't have Superman, the Eiffel Tower, or the internet. Youths are the nation's future, and teachers are the creators of the backbone of this nation. However, being a teacher is much more than only giving away knowledge, lectures, and attending classes. Since ancient times, teachers have been considered a symbol of truth, beauty, and purity. Ancient India valued teachers highly for their selfless service, high learning, and morality. Teachers are the ones who help students to see reality as it is. In the modern age, teachers help students to make academic decisions that will guide them toward success in their future careers.
