About Pami
Hello, I’m Pami — a UK-qualified English teacher, tutor and examiner with extensive experience teaching GCSE and IGCSE English Language and Literature to both UK and international students.
I currently teach in a UK secondary school and also work as an examiner, which means I know exactly what examiners are looking for and how students can maximise marks, even under exam pressure.
I specialise in helping students:
•Improve exam technique
•Write clear, analytical responses
•Understand mark schemes
•Gain confidence and consistency across papers
My lessons are:
•Highly structured
•Exam-focused
•Clear and supportive, with high expectations
Students are guided through:
•How to plan effectively
•How to embed quotations and analyse language
•How to hit the top bands of the mark scheme
•How to avoid common examiner mistakes
I adapt lessons to suit international students, including those studying in different time zones.

My teaching approach is clear, structured and exam-focused, with a strong emphasis on helping students understand how to gain marks, not just what to write.
As a UK-qualified English teacher and examiner, I teach students the exact skills examiners reward: precise language analysis, well-structured responses, confident use of quotations, and purposeful planning. Lessons are carefully scaffolded, moving from guided practice to independent application, so students build confidence as well as accuracy.
I place particular importance on:
•Understanding assessment objectives and mark schemes
•Developing analytical and evaluative writing
•Improving exam technique under timed conditions
•Building confidence through clear feedback and high expectations
My lessons typically include:
•Explicit teaching of exam skills and modelled responses
•Close analysis of texts using examiner-approved methods
•Step-by-step guidance on planning and structuring answers
•Regular exam-style practice with targeted feedback
For group lessons, I maintain a small class size to ensure every student contributes and receives individual guidance within a collaborative environment.
Lesson Length & Format
•1-to-1 lessons: 60 minutes
•Small group lessons: 75–90 minutes
All lessons are delivered online via Zoom, using shared resources and interactive discussion. Students receive clear verbal guidance and written feedback to support progress between sessions.
