Sarah Blackwood

English Language and Literature Tutor for GCSE and A-Level

Sarah Blackwood tutors English Language and English Literature for GCSE and A-Level students. Her lessons focus on the skills behind strong English grades: close reading, thoughtful comparison of texts and essays that develop a personal, well-supported interpretation. Sarah teaches students how to plan essays efficiently in examination conditions and how to write introductions and conclusions that frame an argument clearly. She provides detailed feedback on written work, highlighting one or two priority improvements at a time so progress feels achievable. For Literature students she also supports wider reading and discussion, helping them speak about texts with confidence in class and in assessments.
