*EASTER HOLIDAY GCSE GROUP REVISION SESSIONS*

I am doing small group sessions this year, but I'm doing them slightly differently: I'm opening the books to groups who are already friends first.

Groups of 3 or 4 friends, online for an hour and half at a time that suits all involved, covering all aspects of one topic at a time.

This is a great way to ensure targeted active revision time with opportunities to ask any questions the students might have or to fill any gaps they've got missing on a topic.

If you'd like any more details, please get in touch.

Here is the topic list. Please let me know at the time of booking which topic your group would like.

*Poetry Anthology
*Unseen poetry
*Shakespeare
*Modern prose/drama (An Inspector Calls, Blood Brothers, Lord of the Flies, etc.)
*19th Century novel (A Christmas Carol, Jekyll & Hyde, etc.)
*English language; fiction & creative/crafted writing
*English language; non-fiction & persuasive/functional writing

The ever excellent and very funny Hollie Poetry is bringing her book tour to Diss! She's being supported by the also excellent and very funny Luke Wright. It's a happy day seeing them separately but it's a real treat seeing them together on the same night. If you're unfamiliar with either or both of their work, please check out their socials or YouTube to get a feel for what they're about, then immediately go and buy tickets.

You know someone knows you well when this shows up as a Christmas gift...

Regarding GCSE revision tuition:
I do have some availability; if face to face is preferable we can work something out but most of my availability is online at the moment. I'm very familiar with all the exam boards, all the texts, all the poems (all the complaints... 🙄😂) so please get in touch ASAP to discuss your needs.

I'm aware that things are financially tight for a lot of people at the moment. Please don't let that be the reason you don't get in touch. Tuition is more affordable than often feared and we can work something out with whatever budget you have.

For those with teens studying Romeo and Juliet, it's on Disney+ and is also excellent.

For those of you with teens studying Macbeth, this production is on Netflix and it's an excellent version. Yes, watching Netflix can count as revision.

Note: the accents are pretty heavy and some of the script has been cut, but it's a great way to brush up on the play.

I hope you've had a lovely Easter and have plenty of chocolate to see you through at least a week!

I'm sure a lot of you are now gearing up to encourage and persuade your teens to please *at least pick up the revision guides* this holiday. I am running group sessions throughout the break; if you want to book some in message me and we can coordinate our diaries and fit them in somewhere.

For anyone whose youngster is studying Macbeth; there's a new production hitting cinemas at the start of May and it looks like it'll be a good one. It's always worth seeing these things acted out properly. I'm going to attempt to bribe my kid into going.

Get Tickets to Macbeth: Ralph Fiennes & Indira Varma on the official site. In cinemas 2nd May.
