Host: As an experienced secondary English teacher, I have taught GCSE and A-Level English (Language and Literature), Media Studies, Extended Project Qualification, Critical Thinking and Drama in a wide range of educational settings in London and Surrey (outstanding secondary schools, academies and a further education college). I am also been involved in motivating students through extracurricular activities inside and outside of school. Additionally, I have a certificate in Life Coaching.
Spelling can be a bit tricky but these tips and tricks will make it easy! In this class, students will examine a variety of plurals and suffixes from easy to challenging. Students will also get an overview of how to spell common plurals and words with the 'shun' sounds, as well as going over some spelling rules. This class is aimed at students in Years 7 and 8 but as English competency is important for all subjects, this class can benefit all students!
