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.
Are you studying 'Of Mice and Men' and want to understand it fully? In this session students will be shown how to write critically and analytically using ‘Of Mice and Men’ and answering the prompt: Consider to what extent Curley’s wife is presented as an outsider.
This session will help you to secure at least Grade 5 in GCSE English Language for your teacher-assessed grades (TAGs) because this class will focus on skills that your teacher will be judging when making a final assessment.
