Online English Tuition: For flexible and effective learning, our online English tutors use interactive platforms and shared documents to provide real-time feedback and guidance on your writing.
Read Widely: The more you read, the better your vocabulary and understanding of different writing styles will become. Read a variety of genres, from classic novels to contemporary articles.
Annotate Your Texts: As you read a novel or poem, make notes directly on the page. Highlight key phrases, identify literary devices, and write down your initial thoughts. This is a crucial step in analysis.
Practice Essay Writing: The only way to get better at writing essays is to write them. Practice planning and writing essays under timed conditions to improve your speed and structure.
Understand Literary Devices: Don't just identify metaphors or similes; understand why the author used them and what effect they have on the reader.
Review Examiner Reports: Look at past examiner reports for your specific exam board. They often provide valuable insights into what examiners are looking for and common mistakes to avoid.
