• It depends on what degree of self motivation the student has and whether they would prefer something that is very self-paced (you can access lessons completely in her own time) or something that has a regular weekly schedule (ie. the weekly Sunday classes) where it is more interactive, you can ask question, etc.

I’ve found students who purchase the AQA / Edexcel / IGCSE course find it helpful specifically in just learning specific areas they are very weak in (eg, if they have been doing pretty badly in Inspector Calls for instance, they just watch the Inspector Calls lessons and plug the gaps in their knowledge). Also the course is completely self directed and students can access it any time so your daughter would thus be able to watch the lessons in her own time.

The weekly masterclasses are more for students who need a bit more direct guidance and also some motivation for the week. As I do the online classes each Sunday live, students ask questions in the class group chat and basically it’s just designed to give them a boost for the coming week and guidance on specific areas to revise / practice following on from the class. For students who need more structure - this is what I recommend.

Yes but I only take on a small number of private students at £100 per hour plus VAT (£120 per hour). I am currently fully booked with a waiting list. Email info@firstratetutors.com if you would like to be added to my waiting list.

No, I don’t teach any other boards such as CIE or OCR English.

There’s a NO REFUND POLICY once the material has been received, except in cases where it can be reasonably demonstrated as a mistake (e.g., accidental double payment). This policy is clearly outlined on the sales page. Refunds can only be provided in such cases.

Any payment made before 6pm on Sunday counts towards attending that Sunday's class.

Yes, subscriptions can be cancelled anytime. Simply cancel your subscription after the class if you don't wish to attend the next week's session.

P.E.E.L stands for Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link.

None. All paragraph structures are correct. You don't get points for using P.E.E.L or any specific paragraph structure; it's just a suggested method for clarity. If you prefer another paragraph structure, that's perfectly fine.

To aim for a Grade 8 or Grade 9, it's recommended to dedicate a minimum of 2 hours of study every week.

Unfortunately, individual answer grading isn't feasible due to time constraints, especially considering the large number of subscribers in the class.

Yes, all classes are recorded and uploaded to the portal approximately 2 hours after each session. Accessible via login.

Yes, all materials used and annotated in class will be sent via email after the session.

Language Paper 1 Section A is covered the first Sunday, Section B the second Sunday, Language Paper 2 Section A the third Sunday, and Section B the fourth Sunday of each month.

At present, unfortunately, no.
