Miss Ellie’s Pre-GCSE English lessons strike the ideal balance between reliability, creativity, and engagement. Emma, a student at Chinese International School (CIS), describes how Miss Ellie’s thoughtful approach made studying literature both enjoyable and effective.

Ellie is always on time, and that’s something I really appreciate. Her lessons are not just structured—they are creative, engaging, and full of variety.

She uses colourful papers, pens, and pictures, sometimes even audio recordings of interviews with writers or short YouTube videos. Her approach makes learning fun and interactive, which keeps me engaged even in the most challenging topics.

Thanks to her, I’ve learned so much—especially for Paper 2 Literature and Context. Her lessons make analysis easier, and I always walk away with new insights and a deeper understanding of texts.
