About / Disclaimer

Hi! I created this blog originally to help myself revise for GCSE English Language (result: A*). I have since updated it to share notes, tips, and example answers that might help other students too.

Important: I am not a qualified teacher, examiner, or affiliated with any exam board. The advice and examples here are based on my own experience, research, and publicly available exam materials like the Pearson specification and mark schemes.

This blog is meant as a helpful guide and study resource, but it’s always best to also follow your teachers’ advice and use official exam board materials. Everyone’s learning journey is different - please use this as a supplement, not a substitute, for professional teaching.

Good luck with your studies! If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to get in touch.
