About Me

Hello! My name is Ren and I am an online GCSE English Language and Literature, and A-Level English Language Tutor.

I strongly believe in tailoring my lessons to your needs and the outcome you'd like; whether improving exam results or gaining confidence and proficiency in speaking, writing and reading, I am here to help you achieve those goals!

I also actively seek to make my lessons engaging and interactive as well as challenging. Yes, it's important to practice essay writing and grammar, which seem dull and dreary at first glance, but my lessons consist of using quizzes, games, and lots of different resources adapted specifically to your needs - there are so many ways for English to be fun and interesting!

My practice does not end when the lesson does; I am more than happy to share and send resources out of lesson time so you can practice in your own time too.

All my lessons are held online and can be accessed on your phone, an iPad or your laptop.

Education

I have a Bachelor's (BA) degree in English Language and Linguistics and a PGCE (Post Graduate) degree in Secondary Education specialising in English.

In A-Levels, I have achieved an A* in English Language.

Experience / Qualifications

I am an experienced teacher working in three different schools, including one in West Yorkshire and one in London, as well as working with various tutoring companies. I bring a broad range of expertise to my teaching: I have a Bachelor's (BA) degree in English Language and Linguistics and a PGCE (Post Graduate) degree in Secondary Education specialising in English.

Not only am I a specialised English tutor, I also specialise in supporting students with ADHD, anxiety, and autism, providing individualised approaches that cater to their unique learning needs. My background equips me to create a supportive and effective learning environment for every student.
In our tailored tutoring sessions, we will explore the intriguing world of 'An Inspector Calls' by J.B. Priestley. Together, we’ll examine the play’s themes of class, responsibility, and social justice, and how these ideas are conveyed through Priestley’s use of character and dramatic structure. I will help you sharpen your skills in analysing key scenes and identifying literary devices, enabling you to approach exam questions with confidence. Whether you’re aiming to improve your understanding of the play or perfect your essay responses, these lessons are designed to help you achieve your best results in your GCSE English Literature exam.
Perfect your poetry analysis skills with personalised tutoring sessions tailored to your GCSE English Literature goals. We’ll explore a wide range of poems from the anthology, focusing on key themes, poetic devices, and the historical and cultural contexts behind each piece. I teach both Love and Relationships and Power and Conflict Anthologies! For unseen poetry, you’ll develop techniques for analysing unfamiliar poems, identifying important language and structural features, and crafting insightful exam responses under timed conditions. These lessons will build your confidence in interpreting poetry and answering exam questions with clarity and depth, ensuring you’re fully prepared for both the anthology and unseen poetry sections of your GCSE.
Explore the intricate world of Shakespeare’s 'Macbeth' in personalised tutoring sessions aimed to boost your performance in the GCSE English Literature exam and your confidence in understanding the play. Together, we’ll examine the play’s central themes of ambition, fate, and guilt, while focusing on key characters such as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. You'll develop the skills to interpret Shakespeare’s language, symbolism, and dramatic techniques with ease. These lessons will also help you master the art of responding to exam questions effectively, using high-level analysis and critical thinking.
Your English Language exams are all about how creative you can be with your answers. The more out there (supported with evidence, of course!) - the better! Enhance your skills in GCSE English Language. In these sessions, we’ll focus on developing your reading and writing abilities, analysing a variety of texts, and understanding how language is used for different purposes. You'll learn to identify language techniques, structure arguments, and craft well-developed responses to both fiction and non-fiction texts. We will also thoroughly go through Question 5 in both English Language exams. In Paper 1 Q5, you must write a descriptive writing piece based on a prompt or an image. In Paper 2 Q5, you will need to write either an article, letter, or speech (transactional writing). If these skills are something you would like to gain more confidence on, please reach out and I am more than happy to help!
