GSCE and A-Level English Literature Preparation: for ages 11-18
In these classes we will study one or more GCSE/A-Level texts in detail. Over a two-week period we will look at the themes, context, characters and criticism of a GCSE/A-Level text and work on how these parts of a piece of literature can be brought together for an examination answer.
The text(s) studied can be what you are going to be examined on, as a refresher or extra revision help. The text(s) could also be other pieces of literature on your exam board that you aren't going to study, as a way to expand your reading and become familiar with GCSE/A-level texts. Either way, we will practice thinking and writing critically so that you can blow the examiners away for your examinations.

About Me
Hello! My name is Agnes, I'm an actor, designer and tutor from South London. I offer tutoring services in English (both language and literature) for all levels, acting/theatre studies for all levels and art/design for all levels.I studied English Language and Literature as my undergraduate degree at Oxford University, with a particular emphasis on classical and theatrical texts.
Since graduating I have become a professional actor and graphic designer. My recent credits include "Treasure Island" at the Orange Tree Theatre and being the graphic designer for APM Associates.
I have extensive experience in teaching and tutoring, having worked as a private and volunteer tutor for the past seven years, and can offer specialized and engaging lessons for anyone between the ages of 4-18.
I have experience tutoring for 11+, 13+, GCSE and A-Level English (and am familiar with multiple exam boards). I have tutored acting and theatre both in one-on-one sessions and in group sessions and offer a unique insight into studying theatrical texts as well as acting technique. I have tutored largely KS2/3/4 in art and design, however, I have both a D1 Pre-U in Fine Art and a stand-alone design qualification from CalArts.
I look forward to continuing to meet and teach new students!
For both the 11+ and 13+ exams in England, synonyms and antonyms are a key way in which your child will show their ability in the verbal reasoning paper. Following the content of Christine Draper's C.E.M. content book (in blue), I conduct a course between 5-15 sessions grouping these words into easy-to-remember themes.
You'll study word groups such as descriptors, movement, weather and more. These classes lay a particular emphasis on the practical and creative use of vocabulary because what's the point of learning words if you don't know how to use them in an interesting way!
We will practice creative writing, fun crosswords and more, as well as looking at the set question types in the 11+exams.
Creative writing can be a difficult skill for some people to learn, but these lessons will help your child grow to love the process behind coming up with an exciting piece of creative writing.
These lessons focus on the school curriculum, drawing from often studied literary genres and coming up with creative responses to them. We might write in the gothic style, maybe a short mystery or even some travel writing! You will learn to expand your descriptive vocabulary and the building blocks which come together to form any good story.
I am an ex-Oxbridge student (I studied at Somerville College, Oxford, 2020-2023) offering tutoring and preparation aid for anyone thinking of applying to Oxford or Cambridge. I offer help getting to grips with the ELAT paper as well as help understanding how to prepare for your Oxbridge interviews. We can even start from the beginning and work on your personal statement.
Oxbridge applications have a very specific style to them that is often quite different to the teaching of English at most secondary schools. With specialised tutoring from a successful applicant, you can feel more confident about this process! My current success rate with Oxbridge applicants is 100%, however it is important to say that entry can never be guaranteed.
Whether you're preparing for a specific audition, preparing for your LAMDA examinations, need some extra help with your school drama lessons, or want to bring your study of theatrical texts to life, these lessons will help you build your confidence in your ability to understand and perform theatre.
In these lessons you will work with a professional actor and acting tutor, learning the basics of acting practitioners, developing a process and method to prepare yourself for performance and really coming to grips with the piece(s) you are working with.
