Paul C.

I've been a teacher for 23 years in Further Education. After five years of teaching Key Skills Communication and providing individual Additional Learning Support, I began to teach A Levels at a new college and since then have taught all three English A Levels, across three exam boards, as well as A Level Film Studies and A Level Creative Writing. In addition, I've taught Level 2 English, both GCSE and Functional Skills. I'm also a produced playwright and a published writer, winning several awards for my short stories.

My approach would be to tailor each session to the learner's individual needs, and so I would seek to establish areas of strength, as well as opportunities for improvement. My style is to be friendly and empathetic and to build confidence.

I first taught online during the Covid pandemic and embrace this use of technology to engage and stimulate learners - and learning! 

My focus is to cover GCSE English Language. Depending on the texts, I could teach GCSE English Literature. I am also able to teach some units in A Level English Language (AQA). I look forward to hearing from you.
