About Jess
An enthusiastic and passionate lover of English, I have been teaching for 10 years. I am a key stage coordinator, and teach KS3, GCSE and A Level, with experience in curriculum design and exam marking.
As a practising secondary English teacher, I bring current classroom and exam-board insight into sessions, helping students understand not just what to write but how examiners reward responses. I focus heavily on structure, analytical precision and confidence-building so students feel prepared and independent in assessments.
I come from an Outstanding grammar school, and hold a bachelor's in English Literature with History, and a master's in English. My speciality is 19th century women’s literature, but I have an extensive breadth of passion. I believe the enjoyment of English and literature builds a foundation on which critical skills can be developed.

Personalised lessons and sessions on English Literature and Language, focusing on close analysis skills, literacy, essay writing and creative writing - whatever your area of focus, I can tailor to your needs. Past papers, practice questions and exam prep, taught through a mixture of teacher-led, collaborative and independent tasks and activities to develop critical thinking and enjoyment of literature. I am most familiar with the AQA GCSE English Literature and Language spec and the Edexcel A Level English Literature spec, however I can adapt to your exam board and texts.
