🙋🏻‍♀️Who am I?
If you are looking for a YT Channel to guide you through Year 10 & 11 to Grade 9s at GCSE, you have come to the right place!

My name is Tamra and I achieved Grade 9s in all of my subjects at GCSE. However, I was not always achieving Grade 9s in Year 11. I actually went from a Grade 6 to Grade 9 in English Language - I did this by changing my mindset, how I looked and answered the questions.

With hard work and my (free) guidance, you will be able to get higher grades and perhaps even all 9s in your final exams if you put your mind to it. Anything is possible :). Feel free to like, comment or subscribe if this helps you. I hope to see you in the next video.

Very nice of you to explain these, I am the year of 2024 and I am aiming to boost my English grades, so thank you.

this video was SO useful you don’t understand. genuinely the best English lit video I’ve watched

[estherp]

thank you so so much!!! i've been stuck at a 7, bordering an 8, since yr 10 and just by watching this i feel sm more confident in my revision techniques! <33

[ninasavich]

thank you sm, you're more useful than any other revision tips video I've seen. Plus I'm learning the same texts and poems as you so this is great.

oh my goshh this video is AMAZINGG! my progress in eng lit has been slow (i keep getting 24/30 on my essays, the word level analysis tips and splitting the points into each act tip is eye-opening), but these tips are so unique and helpful!! i was so stumped on how to revise quotes effectively, and even more confused on what to memorise from the poems that have to be compared until i saw this 😭😭 once again - amazing video

I just found this channel after searching for the most perfect simplified video but informational. I think I can get my predicted grades although I have less than 30 days until my first exam however. I’m currently at a grade 3/4 for English literature however I did not know I was capped at 10/30 marks if I didn’t mention the ‘whole’ play… However my predicted grade is a 7 and I’m willing to do anything at this point to get that. Going off topic to show off my knowledge, personally Is one of my weaknesses. I will probably come back after all my exams are over and edit this comment to see how much I improved by.

I have a mock exam for English literature (last one) this Friday so I will hope I get better than a 4 then build up to a 7 or above 😁
Have a good day to anyone who reads this comment, and if you have exams, best of luck to you!!!

[maddisonzara]

[mr_wavey]

[asoma]

Thank you for this video its sooo well made

[Yusuf-dihk]

thanks this helped so much, could you do a video on sciences?

[soyoon]

HI! For the poetry comparison table thing, about how many slides did you do? There are so many poems and so many possible comparisons it's overwhelming trying to figure out which ones to do. Thanks a lot! <3

[jesswatches]

this video was so hopeful I’ll be watching the maths one next!

Coincidence you said 'see how he changes' that was our GCSE Macbeth question this year

[trilightpp-wcwq]

Hi, thank you for your video! It is really helpful. As there are only around 20 days left till gcse, would you recommend to prioritise making plans for different themes/ possible questions or doing practice questions instead? If I have a clear plan for all the themes / characters, will it be more beneficial than completing loads of past paper/ practice questions? thx

[oceanof.stars]

hiii my year 10 mocks start on Thursday and my first paper is English lit 1 (followed by Spanish!!)


thank you so so so much I watched your English lang video and then did a past paper and my grade immediately went up. I'm a maths and science person not English, (except lang paper 1 section B) and I went from a 7 to an 8/9


TYSM

Thanks for this! Also I’m worried that the 5 quotes I’ll memorise for each character won’t be relabels to the question. Like the 2022 paper for macbeths fears, if that was my actual gcse id what I would do bc the quotes I would’ve memorised would not be linked to that - so I’m really worried another question like that where I won’t have any good quotes will come up this year. Do you have any advise?
