Summer Sessions: Jane Eyre!

Monday 2nd August - Friday 6th August, 9-10am each day.
£60 for the week (five hour long tutorials!)

I am running a summer session on Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - a week long intensive study of Bronte's incredible novel, with lots of group discussion, analysis and creative writing exercises.

We will look in detail at the novel, with group discussions on plot, character and themes. We will think about how to analyse language and structure, whilst also doing creative writing exercises based on some of the ideas Jane Eyre explores.

This will be a fantastic opportunity to engage with a text, and think about how we shape meaning and understanding from writing. Suitable for ages 11/12 to 16, students will be able to work at their own level when responding to the novel.

I'm currently organising some summer courses for students of different ages.

I just ran one during half-term which was lots of fun. Aimed at students aged 7 to 10 years old, we looked at Matilda by Roald Dahl, and did a variety of SpaG exercises and creativity writing based on our discussions of this much-loved book.

I will be running another week-long Matilda course during summer. It will be online using zoom and Googlr Docs and will be aimed at children aged 7-10 again. If anyone is interested, let me know as soon as possible!

Huge well done to all the GCSE students who got their results today. And a big thank you to all the lovely messages from parents.

It's been such a tough time and I think students have handled it incredibly well and achieved wonders.

If you're considering tuition for the following year please get in touch - I still have some slots available for September.

So much uncertainty for everyone right now and I know lots of students are upset at the decision to 'cancel' exams.

I will be offering reduced rates on daytime, online tutorials for students who wish to keep up with work or need some help in preparation for next year.

Do let me know if I can help at all.

Stay safe ❤
