Good afternoon,

I would strongly suggest having a chat with your English teacher so to where you are personally going wrong, this will ensure you get proper tailored feedback. I would also recommend actively reflecting and reviewing any feedback given on your papers are there any common themes?

Kind regards, Jenifer (Kingston rep)

Hi, as mentioned by someone else here, well worth having a meeting with your teacher or reviewing your reports to see where is your main issue. For high grades in English it is also worth including context of the texts e.g the supernatural in Macbeth, beliefs about society in Christmas Carol, etc. Weave these in different places in your texts instead of in one paragraph. You can find good notes on context in your textbook or PMT
