A View From a Bridge (Arthur Miller,1955)  studied by A level and GCSE English students is a play that deals with the issues of loyalty and not yielding to an unjust external force or in Miller's own case, that of McCarthy's notorious trials of so called UN-American activities.  It is a classic and full of well fleshed out issues that still resonate today.  From West London English Tutor, English and Media Tutor, Harrow, London

Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen (1813), is a novel studied from GCSE level.  It is about issues of class, and of marriage and courtship.  Pride and Prejudice was considered the 'darling child' of the creative mind of Jane Austen and the themes, characters and concepts explored in the novel have had an indelible mark on contemporary and modern society over the past 200 years.  From West London English Tutor, English and MediaTutor, Harrow, London www.westlondon-englishtutor.com

The novel I'm the King of the Castle, by Susan Hill,  pivots around the themes of intimidation, adults turning a blind eye, and the issue of suicide.  the novel is studied within the IGCSE Cambridge exam board and it is refreshing to see a contemporary novel studied at school.  From West London English Tutor, English and MediaTutor, Harrow, London www.westlondon-englishtutor.com

The new British academic year has begun and my students are studying Gothic literature, GCSE English Language, 11+ English, OCR Media Studies and have also started talks to teach A Level Philosophy (she is studying David Hume).  I am an independent teacher qualified and CRB checked.  Any time a new student wishes to know my results, I will provide them with my teaching practice and details of the results of my practice.

I watched a BBC Radio show Tutor verses Teacher and found it raised some interesting points.  The main point I gained was that teaching is different from tutoring in so far as a teacher is the leader of a class of about thirty, follows the national curriculum and plans detailed lessons with provisions for discipline, differentiation and the regular marking and assessing that goes along with it.  Both camps claim legitimacy, but it is my opinion that teaching in the traditional sense will radically change in the next few years and that this will include a part or complete dismantling of the current education system; and in light of how concentrated and effective private teaching is, I would say that this can only be a great thing for all humanity and related creatures...
