Here’s what you’ll learn:

Lesson Planning: Explore the lesson sequence I use to introduce and develop essay-writing skills.
Mark Scheme Demystified: Gain a clear understanding of the AQA mark scheme, including the specific guidance examiners receive during marking.
Hands-On Practice: Apply your understanding by marking AQA exemplar essays and comparing your scores to the official marking.

Please note: This session is not accredited or affiliated with AQA. The content is based on my extensive experience teaching A-level students how to write the essay since the launch of the new specification in 2015. My students and tutees consistently achieve excellent results, and I bring experience in both teaching and marking to this session.
