Wahida
English teacher, Lead Practitioner and AQA and Edexcel examiner
Wahida provides focused and personalised English lessons for KS3, GCSE and A-Level students. Her experience as a teacher, examiner and former Head of English gives students expert support with subject knowledge, confidence and exam technique.
Experienced English teaching supported by examiner insight
Wahida is a secondary English teacher with over 13 years of experience teaching KS3 and KS4, alongside several years of private tutoring.
She delivers tailored one-to-one and small-group lessons online and in person, specialising in GCSE English Language and Literature.
As an AQA and Edexcel examiner, Wahida has a strong understanding of exam requirements and uses this knowledge to help students improve their written responses, exam technique and confidence.
Her lessons are engaging, well structured and adapted to the individual student, whether they need to strengthen their foundations, improve an existing grade or work towards the highest results.
Focused preparation based on what examiners are looking for
Wahida’s examining experience gives her valuable insight into assessment objectives, mark schemes and the qualities that distinguish stronger responses.
She uses this knowledge to provide specific feedback and help students understand how to improve their analysis, structure, evidence and written expression.
Students are supported in applying their knowledge effectively under exam conditions rather than relying only on memorised content.
Supportive, structured and tailored to the student
Wahida builds positive relationships with students and adapts each lesson to their confidence, learning needs and academic goals.
Positive student relationships
Wahida creates a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, attempting challenging work and learning from feedback.
Adapted to individual needs
Lesson content, pace and activities are adjusted according to the student’s current skills, confidence and target grade.
Clear explanations
Complex language and literature concepts are explained clearly before students apply them through focused activities and written practice.
Effective feedback
Wahida provides specific and practical feedback so students understand what they have done well and how to make their next response stronger.
