I am an enthusiastic and friendly tutor, currently pursuing my MA in Modern Literature in Culture after completing my BA in English. My passion for educating young people has enabled me to secure a place at Oxford to complete a PGCE in Secondary English, which I will be starting in late 2024.
I've always enjoyed both studying and teaching English since privately tutoring online during the pandemic. I enjoy enabling students to achieve the grades they're aiming for and to help them to grow in their confidence surrounding a subject.
I prefer to be addressed by my middle name, Raashiqah, and am currently trying to amend this detail in my official FirstTutors bio.
4 years of tutoring English Literature, from primary up to GCSE Level.
Overall, I aim to help and guide students to find their stride in this subject, help them tackle difficult texts and challenge them to think critically - which is key to succeeding in English.
PRIMARY: Working on comprehension, non-fiction and fiction writing, spelling, punctuation and grammar. I also offer 11+ tutoring and guidance.
SECONDARY (11-14yrs) I have my own resources topics to cover per term from poetry to Shakespeare. Through both class and assigned tasks, I aim to help my student improve on their spelling, punctuation and grammar, essay and argumentative writing and critical thinking skills.
GCSE & A LEVEL: Working on chosen texts through re-reading key passages, understanding context; reviewing strengths and weaknesses on written work (mostly essay-based); developing both analytical and critical thinking skills further through unseen texts and poetry.
