My approach
Many students struggle with English not because of ability, but because they haven’t been shown how marks are awarded.I focus on making exam expectations completely clear so students understand exactly how to improve.Students learn how to:
Decode exam questions accurately
Structure answers for maximum marks
Use evidence effectively
Write with clarity and control under timed conditions
