I have 2 years of formal tutoring experience. I first found a passion for English literature and language at GCSE in which I received a grade 8. I then progressed to taking it at A-level and found it even more engaging. I now currently study law at the University of Birmingham. I came to like English literature due to my love for reading and have great subject knowledge and tips on how to achieve nuanced analysis and moving beyond simple and generic concepts. I am able to interpret sophisticated vocabulary into analysing different texts or plays to achieve the higher bands and higher levels. I learnt how to achieve what we call a "flair" analysis during my A-levels and are now able to replicate that whilst exploring the writer's intentions behind their use of language or subject terminology. Also incorporating the various contexts referring to the time period within which the particular text may have been written, allows a deeper understanding of the writer's deliberate choices. After receiving an A* on my coursework piece during my A-levels, I learnt how to include numerous critical interpretations of the text and embed those into my essay argument, keeping my debate open and allowing different opinions to comment on the text. This ensured I was using critical thinking which unlocks a whole other level of analysis. Above that, picking the most significant moments of a play or novel is paramount in taking note of key scenes/acts and the impact they have by breaking down themes and characters using reading comprehension.
