I am a qualified teacher specialising in Media and English (years 7-12), or KS3 - A Level.  I am a private teacher as I have found that schools are ineffective, faceless institutions that share aesthetic and thematic parallels to prisons, hospitals, and factories.  I am always exasperated to find a student at year 10 who can not write or spell.  I have to give them intensives to get them functioning at an ordinary level.  What do they do with 37 hours per week at school?  Well, this book is excellent if you want to gain pleasing results with Of Mice and Men.  http://paltip.com/westlondonenglish/!4kk1
