Inside a One-Hour 1:1 Tutorial Session with Edumat for English KS3 and KS4

Every session kicks off with a memory recall quiz. Why is this essential? It helps reinforce previous learning, boosts retention, and ensures a solid foundation for new concepts. By recalling prior knowledge, students build a stronger understanding and make meaningful connections between topics.

Each hour-long tutorial is packed with insightful discussions and detailed language analysis. We dive deep into the subject matter, exploring themes, characters, and critical ideas to foster a rich and nuanced understanding. This interactive approach encourages active participation and keeps learning dynamic and engaging.

I evaluate what students have learned through creative writing exercises or short essay questions, providing comprehensive assessments to track progress and guide further improvement.

​Targeted homework helps students retain and master the material covered in each session. By practising key concepts through these tailored tasks, students can solidify their understanding and prepare effectively for upcoming assessments. This approach builds a strong foundation for future learning, leading to academic success and increased confidence.

As part of my tutoring service, students gain exclusive access to quizzes personally designed by me on all key set texts. These quizzes are carefully crafted to cover a wide range of important elements, including:
​

• Characters: Understanding motivations, development, and relationships

• Plot: Key events, narrative structure, and progression

• Themes: Central ideas, messages, and recurring motifs

• Contexts: Historical, social, and cultural backgrounds influencing the text

• Terminology: Literary devices and language features critical for analysis​

​​
Each quiz is customised to the specific text your child is studying and adapted to their current level, ensuring targeted practice that strengthens their comprehension and exam skills. These quizzes are an integral part of reinforcing learning between sessions and boosting confidence for coursework and exams.

My tutorials are not just about acing exams. I aim to impart broader cultural references, enhance critical thinking, and nurture a love for learning. By integrating historical context, literary analysis, and real-world applications, student will gain a well-rounded education that goes beyond textbooks.
