Help me on English Language please!

I have already done my english GCSE last year and I got a grade 3 Unfortunately. I am currently attending college now, and I have done both my november and may re-sits and still I couldn't manage to pass my English. For the Love of God, bless me with your help. I really need to pass. This is the final/last chance I have got to pass my english. Thank You. (In need for any sort of help - tips, videos... etc.).

Some tips for English Language from someone who regularly achieved 7-9 grades:

1.

Write fictional AND non fictional stories in your spare time so you can get used to writing and it will come easily to you in the exam

2.

READ lots, anything, just feast your eyes on anything with words!

3.

Do practice questions and get your teacher to mark them, don't be afraid to ask as this is what most people do and your teacher will be used to it.

4.

Follow a set structure for how long you should spend on each question e.g. Dr Bruff's one

5.

Make a list of good idioms, complex vocabulary and use them in your writing or in real life as this will boost your technical accuracy marks

6.

Also use a wide range of punctuation, examiners love a semi colon

7.

And please don't stress out too much, you will be fine and everything will work out in the end; it always does!

Let me know how the exam goes.

Thank you so much for the ideas and tips you gave me, hopefully i can gain all the knowledge to pass my english. My sister is doing her gcse next year and it will be embarrassing to see her pass and I am still struggling to pass it. Without a doubt i am a failure. English has really been affecting me in general and it hurts to say but i would be honoured to be thought by you. You said you can tutor me how can we make it happen i am still not sure but how can we do this?

Well, if we were to exchange emails, you could ask me any questions you have about the subject and send me your practice questions and I could give you feedback! You are NOT a failure btw, GCSEs are not as important as you think and they do not define you at all. No decent person would judge you based on them. I would recommend you start reading the Guardian and a fiction book btw.
