What I Offer

Clear, practical English support for National 5 and Higher pupils — without the waffle, panic or mysterious instructions that appear to have been written in another dimension.

  • Pupil-friendly explanations.

  • Model essays and worked examples.

  • Folio planners and idea banks.

  • PowerPoint lessons and vlogs.

  • Practical advice to help you write with greater confidence.

Pardon the Mess — We’re Still Learning!

 

The website is currently under construction, so a few pages may still be sharpening their pencils and getting themselves organised.

However, all the free materials accompanying my first YouTube

lesson —“The ONE Technique That Changes Everything”—

are ready to download now. These include full-mark model essays,

motif planners, motif idea banks and the lesson PowerPoint.

Watch the lesson, download the resources and discover

how one carefully developed motif can transform your

National 5 or Higher folio. 

No payment. No password. No sacrificing your jotter to the literary gods required.

Then return here to download the planners, idea banks, model exemplars and PowerPoint.
