(GCSE English Retakes, Y13 student) A-Level & GCSE English tutor (5+ years) with a First Class Durham degree and M.A. I have helped a wide range of students improve their grades and gain confidence in their ability to pass their exams with flying colours. I am intent on ensuring that each individual student feels nurtured while being challenged to achieve highly. I consider every student’s learning style and design activities that are engineered to help them reach their potential. Examples of texts I teach include: Macbeth, Inspector Calls, Of Mice and Men, A Christmas Carol, A Streetcar Named Desire, Hamlet, Keats' poetry, Frankenstein, The Handmaid's Tale, King Lear, Lord of the Flies, Much Ado About Nothing, Jane Eyre, and Blood Wedding.

Esalan focuses on ensuring her students' familiarity with the exam texts through the lens of exam technique so that when they come to sit the exams, they are able to employ the full range of what they have learnt. She is extremely enthusiastic about English, especially Shakespeare, and finds that her own love for the texts and expansive knowledge allows her to engage with students in a variety of ways, each unique and subsequently tailored to the individual student. At the beginning of each lesson, Esalan will do a starter exercise to assess the student's mood and level of engagement, before moving on to using exam questions to teach new skills and revise content for the middle portion of the lesson, always checking in on how the student is finding the difficulty level of the work. At the end of a lesson, Esalan likes to do "two stars and a wish": the student writes down two things they learnt or are proud of themselves for, and one thing they want to improve and focus on next time. This way, Esalan knows how the student feels about their level of achievement, and what they are worried about so she can customise the next lesson's content accordingly.

I strongly recommend Esalan Gates as a brilliant tutor in English Language and Literature. She tutored Annie, my younger sister, online throughout her GCSEs, and always took the lessons at the speed that she needed. I am a CELTA-qualified teacher, and so appreciated Esalan’s adaptability throughout the course of the tuition to the changing landscape of education in the wake of Covid-19.
Esalan is a cheerful and warm tutor. She clearly thought through each stage of Annie’s tuition, and we are really grateful for her support. Esalan would make a great addition to Superprof and I would highly recommend her to other Superprof members.Esalan tutored our daughter through English literature GCSE and A level. Her understanding of the exam process and mark scheme is exceptional. Esalan has a great ability to explain exam techniques simply to her students, therefore allowing them to reach their full potential. My daughter received an A* in English Literature and went on to study English Literature at Exeter university.
