Hi, I'm Akina, and English was one of my favourite subjects at school. Most people find that strange but I want to help you, if not fully love it, then at least dread it less than everyone around you.
My students have done this by "gaming the system" - together, we develop an essay that answers the central question of each module itself, so that it simultaneously encompasses any curveball prompt, and can be as specific as needed. If that sounds too good to be true, let me preface it by saying it does require persistent practice and effort, but the results are anything but clickbait. It's been trialed and tested (literally!) by students from many schools, who have started from various levels of ability and confidence.
This philosophy is something I apply to all my teaching across different years and subjects. We start with the most efficient one-size-fits-all model, and constantly tailor it to suit your individual studying style and needs. You're here on this website because you want to do well and I'm here because I love helping students develop their confidence, unlock the 'aha' moments, and hone their skills until they can look back on their progress with pleasant surprise and pride.
What I Teach:
English: Year 11-12 Advanced and Extension 1 preferred, but all other years are also welcome
Latin: All years
General help with study, UCAT, university admissions, interviews, etc.
Primary school (selective exam, scholarship entry, etc)
ONLINE ONLY but I am always happy to give feedback on and edit my students' work, or answer any questions outside of lesson times :)
