DCB Only – Group Classes for Years 7-13

For KS3, we will build skills needed for the IGCSE, such as literary analysis, essay writing, creative writing and using precise vocabulary.

For Year 10-11, we will revise material and complete exam practices for IGCSE English Language and Literature. Students will receive guidance to improve their coursework.

For Year 12-13, we will build up skills for IB English Language and Literature. Both HL and SL students are welcome to join. Students will learn how to analyse new texts for the IO and Paper 1, including film, cartoons, adverts, photography, travel writing, manifestos, speeches and infographics. Students will review essay writing for both Paper 1 and Paper 2. They will complete regular practices and receive feedback to help them improve their writing and analysis.

All group classes will be recorded so students can watch the lesson in their own time. Students are free to contact me to ask clarifying questions.

Each group class will begin with a student voice survey, so I can understand students’ strengths and weaknesses, tailoring my lessons to their requests.

There will be regular student votes to decide what content we will cover.

I aim to have approximately 4-6 students per group class. This might be slightly more or slightly less depending on demand.

Parents will pay monthly at the start of the month for that month’s classes. Payments can be made in any currency. Alipay, WeChat, Mastercard and Visa are all accepted.

Each month’s fees must be pre-paid in advance.

The first month’s payment is taken as a non-refundable deposit.

After the first month, if you wish to cancel pre-paid classes, you will receive a 50% refund of any unused classes.

If a student is sick or unable to attend a single class, no refund will be given. Lessons are recorded for the student’s convenience so they are able to catch up when they are able.
