Find the Right Programme

Cambridge IGCSE is Jacqueline’s main specialism. Each group will have a clear subject and learning focus.

Cambridge IGCSE English First Language

Reading closely, selecting evidence, analysing language, summarising and shaping effective writing for different audiences and purposes.

Cambridge IGCSE English Second Language

Build understanding and confidence in using English through supported practice, clear explanations and feedback matched to the course.

Cambridge IGCSE World Literature

Explore poetry, prose and drama through close reading, thoughtful interpretation and carefully supported written responses.

Key Stage 3 / Cambridge Lower Secondary

Strengthen reading, writing, vocabulary and confidence before the demands of IGCSE.

Jacqueline also has experience with AQA and Edexcel GCSE English. Please enquire about suitable support.

Understand. Practise. Improve.

Progress comes from small, achievable steps and useful feedback.

See How It Works

Jacqueline models a skill and breaks down what makes an answer effective. Mark schemes help explain the purpose behind the technique.

Try It with Support

Structured activities give students room to think, discuss and make mistakes. Support is gradually reduced as understanding grows.

Use the Feedback

Students revisit a skill, improve an answer and practise again. The aim is confident, independent work, not memorised stock responses.

Programmes and Masterclasses

Small-group programmes are the main live-teaching offer. Focused masterclasses will explore selected skills in depth.

Groups of approximately 6–8 students and lessons of around 1 hour 15 minutes are planned. Timetables, start dates and prices are still being finalised. Details will be published when confirmed.

One-to-one support may be available on a limited basis; please enquire rather than assuming a place is available.
