A bit about me: Hi, my name is Grace Brown and I’ve been tutoring English Literature and English Language for around 10 months, and in this time I helped my student achieve an amazing two grades higher in both their English Literature and Language GCSE exams than the grades achieved in their last set of mock exams. I find tutoring an extremely rewarding job and love watching my students grow in both their confidence and enjoyment of English. I achieved a grade 8 (A*) in both my GCSE English exams, and an A in my A-Level English Literature and Language exam.

What are my sessions like: In my sessions I aim to not only deepen a students understanding of the English Language and their selected literary texts, but also their enjoyment of English as a subject. I organise my sessions student to student in order to make sure everybody’s individual needs are met.

My favourite revision method: I find practice papers and exam style questions an extremely effective method of revision for English Language. Along side this I find making detailed notes and flashcards a useful technique for understanding English literature. All of which I back up with my collection of online resources organised into a pack that will be sent through to you or your child upon enrolment.

Next steps: I am now in the first year of my Contour Fashion Design undergraduate degree at De Montford University!

Tutoring mantra: Studying doesn’t have to be a chore, with the right help and mindset you can enjoy any subject!

Hobbies: In my free time I enjoy a wide variety of creative hobbies, including reading, artwork, and pole dance. I find my creative outlook on life extremely useful in aiding my understanding of English as at its core English is a widely creative subject anybody can learn to love.

Grace is currently not doing introductory sessions due to limited availability whilst settling into university, but will be resuming regular tutoring in January. If you are interested in starting tuition with Grace in January or you’re really keen to start with her now, please email english@stepuptutoring.co and she will get back in touch with you.
