AQA GCSE ENGLISH EXAM MARKEREXPERIENCED SECONDARY ENGLISH TEACHERONE ANSWER MARKED PERSONALLY
From vague advice to something useful
“Analyse more”
isn’t very helpful.
Parents often know their child needs to improve English. The harder question is: what exactly needs improving?
A teacher might write:
“Develop this.”“Analyse the quotation.”“Add more detail.”“Be more perceptive.”
But unless a pupil can see what that means in their own writing, the advice is difficult to use.
That’s why I’d rather look at one real answer.
How it works
Three simple steps.
Your child answers one
Choose one suitable question and let them complete it normally.
Handwritten or typed is fine.
Send me the work
Take clear photos of the answer and send them to me using the instructions in the email.
I’ll mark it and send the feedback back to you.

What you get back
More useful than
a mark on its own.
The point isn’t simply to tell your child what mark they achieved. I want them to be able to see:
You won’t just get a number. You’ll be able to see why the answer received the mark it did and what needs changing next.
- what is already working
- what is limiting the answer
- what needs improving first
- what stronger writing could look like
The free 66-page practice pack
No hunting around
for a question first.
I’ll send you the practice pack when you sign up. It contains GCSE practice across:

practice in one place.
This will be most useful
if your child...
- is in Year 10 or Year 11
- studies AQA GCSE English
- seems to know more than their marks show
- keeps receiving similar feedback
- struggles to know what to improve first
- is stuck around the same grade
- would benefit from specific feedback on their own writing
It isn’t an assessment of every part of their English course. It is a useful look at one real piece of work and the next priorities I can see from it.
One answer. A clearer way forward.
