Secondary English (KS3 & KS4)

A good English grade at GCSE is more important than ever for a student to be successful. Most employers, colleges, universities and sixth forms all require a Grade 4 (C- pass) or preferably a Grade 5 (B – strong pass) or better in English. A good English exam grade demonstrates to future employers and High Education providers that  the person will be able to cope confidently with the demands of their work/ studies.   

Here are some of the key areas we focus on, at Kip, for Secondary English tuition:

Solid English skills are always essential in other subjects of the secondary school curriculum; they allow pupils to accurately extract information from written sources and then to express themselves effectively, whether in arts or science topics.

At Kip McGrath Derby South, we have a small team of secondary school English tutors, who help children improve their grades and confidence, and build self-esteem in the subject area.  We create individualised student lesson plans; these are taught either In Centre or Online, in small groups of up to four students.   

For GCSE English at Kip, we concentrate on improving the student’s comprehension, spelling, grammar and essay writing skills to give them the confidence to write fluent and well-structured essays. As they approach their examinations, the students  can work through past papers under exam conditions, which are then marked with the specific Examination Boards criteria in mind.
