English GCSE - I need help!

12

Hello, thank you for taking time to read this. I am on track to get 9s in every single subject except English Language! I am stuck on 7, I was always doing well on Section A(I do AQA) but not so well on Section B which really limits my Grade. I tried everything: asked my teacher for feedback(which she didn't give me), hired a tutor, practiced. I use more language and structural devices, punctuation and vocabulary, but still got the same mark as before doing all of that. I am so upset and desperate because I simply don't know what to do. If there is anyone who had a similar issue or had done well in their English Language GCSE please give me some advice.
For Paper 1 I generally do description but now I consider pre-writing stories. But I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not..

Hi,
I’m in A-levels at the moment, and offer tutoring for English GCSE - I’ve seen other students have similar struggles to you! As someone who got a high 9 in Eng Lang, I’d recommend watching Mr Salles and First Rate Tutors videos to get a really good sense of structuring your answers etc.
Description tends to be easier, but again learning how to answer them well is important - zoom into different parts of the image etc.
If you’re looking for tutoring then feel free to contact x

I watched Mr Salles and First Rate Tutors(even bought their course) but it was of little help. Could you please email me at [email protected] and tell how much you charge for lesson and when you are available. I am actually trying to find a new tutor right now because I recently became a tutor myself(for maths) and now want the person who teaches me to be someone who did well in the exam themselves. Will be waiting for your reply!
