Secondary English Literature and Language Tutoring

Whether you’re struggling to understand Shakespeare, grasping the themes of a set novel, or not knowing how to do persuasive writing I provide tutoring in both the English Literature and English Language curriculum for secondary school pupils ages 11-18 years.

In my classes, I will provide help with essay writing, analysing novels, plays and poetry and give you the confidence you need to tackle GCSE and A level exams. For younger pupils at KS3 I am happy to tailor to the pupil's needs and provide any support they require at this stage in their learning.

I am DBS certified, with a GCSE in English Literature and English Language, an A Level in English Literature and a First Class Honours degree in English and Creative Writing. I will be studying a PGCE in teaching secondary English from September 2024.

Note that timings may vary if in person depending on the location of the student.

About Me

Hi, I'm Bethany! I'm 21 years old and have lived in Gloucestershire all my life. I have been a youth leader at my local church for the past couple of years, which is where my love for supporting and teaching young people developed.

Perhaps you love English (me too!) but I understand that English may not be every student's favourite subject and that's okay! I am here to help you at whatever level you are currently at, but also hopefully help you see that English can be enjoyable and that there is so much literature can tell us about the world and who we are as people.

I'm looking forward to working with you :)

Guidance in (scientific) writing and communication.
Like no other, I know how difficult it can be to structure a research or project in a short time. You want to distinguish main issues from side issues and be in the final report to-the-point in communicating the results. From MBO level 2 I went on to a doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Amsterdam. During this path, I have written hundreds of reports, published 6 scientific articles and presented my findings hundreds of times both informally and formally. In addition, I have been a successful thesis supervisor of 3 bachelor students and 1 master's student. I would like to help you get the best out of yourself with the help of my knowledge and experience. However, I do not want to do this with a leadership mentality, but from an advisory mentality in which we can put together as equals a nice end product that we both support. I can offer concrete support for your research/project in: - Setup and planning - Doing literature study - Quality assurance - Presentation and structure/content - Popularizing the topics with catchy texts - Review with a critical look - Give layout and design input - And much more Do you think I can help you or do you want to know more? I would love to hear from you!

Of course, understanding the texts might be a bit difficult at first, but we overcome this and learn together. 💪Then, we come to the most fun part, of course, the speaking part. In this part, we talk about the texts we have read and listened to before. Of course, we try to use new words and verbs more. I love people who talk a lot in my classes.
