Peter loved looking up to the heavens on our home Ed trip to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich last week. I love bringing learning to life with him and finding different ways to explore our topics. Engagement like this is priceless!

In fairness to students, this is extremely easy to do, especially under the pressure of timed conditions! However, examiners will penalise students for a lack of control over sentence structures and tenses are a big part of this.

Regular practice can help and also get into the habit of reading work back to yourself. Whilst it is obviously not a good idea in the exam room, when you are practising independently, reading work aloud can help you spot mistakes that the eye does not always pick up on.

If you or your child is looking for more support with writing skills, drop me a dm today to find out how I can help.

Tutoring really does work! This student's story is not unusual - while there are no guarantees, it is not impossible to go up by at least 2 grades with the correct guidance and support. If you would like to know more about how I can help your child, dm today.

We are in the middle of the last stretch of 11+ preparation and I am trying to convince my daughter that small amounts of practice each day are preferable to longer cramming sessions. It can be tricky to know how to do this in English but here are some ideas for short activities that can be done in short 20-25 minute bursts of revision. Trying to learn it all in one go does not work and a little and often approach is normally more successful.

A quick reminder about next week's workshop. This is perfect for students in Yr9 and 10 who need help to develop their analytical skills in English. We will go through what actually makes writing analytical and how to structure and develop the paragraphs in timed conditions. The workshop is completely FREE and it will be recorded for those who cannot join live.

I must admit I could happily go for a swim in the sea today 🥵🔥 If your child is feeling out of their depth with English at the moment, why not book a summer booster session? Plus, remember I am doing a FREE online workshop on 31st July at 10 am focused on specific analysis skills for GCSE. The link is in the comments - the session is recorded so you can still register even if you cannot make this time!

Does this feedback sound familiar? So many students are told this is the key to improving in English but not necessarily how to actually make this happen. My FREE online workshop on 31st July at 10 am for students in Yr9 and 10 will go over now to improve analysis skills in English. The session will be recorded as well for those who cannot join live.

To sign up, follow the link in my bio.

Does your child know what to write in English essays and exams but always struggles to organise ideas and develop them appropriately? Do they keep getting feedback that they need to improve their analysis but they still do not really understand what that entails? Does your teacher comment there is a gap between their understanding of the subject and their written output? That is what this FREE workshop is designed to address.

It is best suited to Yr9 and 10 students but KS3 students are also welcome to attend. If you cannot make the date, a recording will be available but you do need to register for this. To sign your child up, follow the link in my bio (click on the linktree).

I haven't run a free masterclass in a long time and I am really excited about doing this one!

A great morning spent at Downs House. We even did a bit of dress up as Charles and Emma Darwin; it was a bit hot to keep it on for long though! So much learning can happen outside the classroom and it's a great way to bring the past to life, developing those all important empathy skills in the process. Although Peter did spend quite a bit of time saying 'How yu doin' so he might have been channelling Joey more than Darwin!

This is always the time of year where I feel for Yr10 and Yr12. After everyone's attention has finally faded from Yr11 and 13, the pressure and spotlight suddenly turns to them. Many of the 12s are currently deep in coursework deadlines and some Year 10s are facing mocks next term. There is talk of predicted grades and Yr12s are thinking about personal statements and UCAS. When the weather is sunny and it feels like everyone else is slowing down, the pressure is ramping up. This is a reminder to stay positive and take time out to recover when you need it! Summer holidays are closer than you think.
