If you get low in your mocks our tests DO NOT let it make you feel down, you can imrpove if you try, try ,try again. Hardwork pays off so give it your all Yr11 you can masively improve your gcse English grades if you try enough, beleive in your self, that is all you need

Hey Mr Salles, I am now an A-Level Lit student, and I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for the part you and your videos/resources played in helping me to achieve 9s for both Lang and Lit at GCSE. I am a visually impaired student, so other than the deduction of SPaG marks, I managed to achieve full marks in both papers! To all future GCSE cohorts, it may seem a long and tedious process, especially with these rather demanding essay-subjects, but let me tell you, it is absolutely possible to to succeed! So, once again, I thank you Mr Salles for all your help! I would wholeheartedly agree with the general consensus that you are indeed the internet’s most prized English teacher. :)

I have already done my GSCEs! However I would like to thank you very much! Without you I would not get the grades I did, because of you I moved from getting 4s to getting two 8s! I think everyone should watch your videos!

This helped me so much! I’m in year 10 and I just did my mock exam for ‘an inspector calls’ . I got 29/34 (AQA exam board) which is the maximum teachers are allowed, in my school, to give as a 30 is a grade 9 (it’s too early in the course to be given 9s in mocks).

Just wanted to say such a huge thank you to Mr Salles. English lit was my worst subject in the mocks scraping a 7 after being predicted a 6 as I have a very mathematical brain. Ironically it became my best subject and I got 155/160 - a grade 9!! It would never have happened without Mr Salles!

Much like all the other comments, I would love to thank you Mr Salles for your tremendous care and effort to put out such quality material- your youtube videos in addition to revision guides are absolute perfect tools to get great grades. Throughout the course of year 11 I viewed the content you put out, and it paid off with an 8,9 for my mocks and 9,9 in 2023 GCSE's. This is not solely a thank you in regards to these grades however, but the confidence and comfort youve given me for Alevels and beyond in regards to my writing skills, analytical skills and more. I cannot recommend your videos enough! May you always be blessed.

Thank you for the reply sir. 1- I watched all your videos religiously. This allowed me to have a vast amount of alternative interpretations, as well as gain a deeper understanding on the books/concepts and different opinions. I occasionally wrote notes, but mainly it was just for exposure. In addition, all context I needed was found in your videos, however using the British library was also a nice tool for context. 2-I read alot of grade 9 essays as well as your guides, even if they were not for my allocated gcse texts, it aided me to form an articulate response. Also, being able to write a solid introduction as well as using PEE sentences (as taught by you). 3- I would revise with friends in groupchats by posing a theme or question, then all responding/'blurting' with our different viewpoints/quotes/analysis/context. We later then compiled the best ideas. It also allowed me to gain deeper understandings of the text, and have the ability to 'argue' my thoughts on a certain theme or character. 4- I had a positive mindset to english, trying to actually enjoy the texts inevitably makes learning and revising easier. 5- In the last few weeks before gcses, doing practise questions really aided me. At that stage, it was just about trusting my ability to write quality in the allocated time. I would do as many questions as I could and realised that the themes and characters all tie in. By this time, I had around 6 key quotes per text (in addition to a few quotes I intended to embed) that were heavily analysed. Therfore all that was required in the exam was to rewrite what I already practised time and time again.

Good luck

can your thesis loosely link to the question or does it have to stay exactly on topic? E.G could you discuss how Scrooge's fears control and create his need for redemption and go into the idea of using guilt (and fear) to control the readers or would that be too off topic? Question: explore how Dickens presents Scrooge’s fears in A Christmas Carol.

Hey Mr Salles! I've been studying for my English Lit exams abroad with an online course as I recently moved countries but still want to complete them, and your lessons have worked a charm, I've learnt so much for my exam next year :) I was wondering what are the differences between Edexcel and AQA for English language and Literature, as I'm set to study Edexcel Literature with my course, but I was thinking of learning English Language as well with your lessons so I can complete my GCSEs quicker.

Are these tips also useful for eduqas?

I have a question on the passage based question. For example a question on how this passage is made terrifying....can the student make any reference to outside the passage....is there a need to show off any knowledge...or can the answer just focus on the language used in the extract.

Just a question. So does this mean that if we have a question for example on Macbeth, do we write about him in a particular extract and in the play as a whole in the same essay in those 4 chronological points?
