Coaching and Support for GCSE English and/or English Literature students

Support for students in, entering or considering a GCSE English Language and/or English Literature programme.

Support for students in schools which do not offer a GCSE English and/or English Literature programme, or where likely results will not meet student's needs.

Support for self-study students or self-prepared candidates.

One-hour online sessions (on an as-needed or ongoing basis) via video conferencing targetted at the student's specific needs and realities. Brief feedback is provided to parents after each session or each block of sessions. This bespoke support may include :

• understanding the examination, its components, what it evaluates and how (markschemes), strategies for success, preparation approaches
• practice and feedback on individual tasks, skills or topics
• a specific focus on Writing and on developing and extending language range

One-hour single-topic open-enrolment group sessions via video conferencing. Group sizes are limited to allow for particiaption. Pre-reading and/or short task completion is usually required and will be sent to participants the day prior to the session.
