Lucy's English lessons

Average Rating1.33
(based on 6 reviews)

I write schemes of work for English literature as well as English language and creative writing. My lessons have all been used to teach my classes and have been adapted to work well. I teach in a school which uses its own GCSE-level literature qualification, so I have some lessons on unusual texts. I've also got lessons on many of the Edexcel A Level texts. I've taught AQA, Edexcel GCSE and iGCSE, so have a range of useful resources to share.
