Miss Michie's Tutoring

Miss Michie's Tutoring With over a decade’s worth of experience teaching children and young adults, I am a Teach First graduate and have a PGCE.

I work closely with parents to set targeted milestones, develop sustainable strategies and achieve ambitious goals. Almost a decade teaching in primary schools has confirmed my belief that when it comes to passing
exams, technique is everything. It was a general awareness of the importance of strategy that
enabled me to achieve 13A* grades at GCSE whilst I was a pupil at a top Kent grammar school. I use my love of the language and number to both motivate and inspire. I put structure at the heart of what I do. What this means in practice is that I deliver lessons that are both fun and focused. I set goals that are realistic, challenging and, above all, empowering. By getting to know you and your child, I learn what motivates them and use this to encourage their
interest in the subject in question. We build on the skills learned in previous lessons, and I introduce new skills at appropriate junctures. Where a test in in imminent, there is more of a focus on exam-specific skills, such as time-management, which can be carefully cultivated to ensure that your child achieves their full potential.

Summary - Maddie Michie's Tutoring
Diagnosing 3 Common Exam Weaknesses in English GCSE

1. Poor time management
This is one of the most frequent weaknesses regardless of ability
2. Feature Spotting
Identifying the author's techniques without discussing their impact
3. Retelling the text's plot
Failure to consider the author's intent and how it relates to the text as a whole, beyond a summary of the characters or events

Instead consider
1. Using P.E.T.A.L.
Point, evidence, technique, analysis and link to structure your responses.
2. Working backwards!
Prioritise the questions which hold the most marks. 1 minute often equates to 1 mark.
3. Refer to the author
Provide some context and intent behind the author's work.
