Higher English Tutoring in Paisley: More Than Just Reading

You might not expect a Medicine student to be passionate about Higher English, but I believe communication is just as important as science. I achieved an A in Higher English and now help students in Paisley and Renfrewshire do the same.

Cracking the Code of RUAE

Reading for Understanding, Analysis, and Evaluation (RUAE) is often the hardest part of the exam. It requires a logical, almost scientific approach to language.

  • I teach a formulaic approach to answering "Analysis" questions.
  • We focus on precision—reading the question carefully [cite: 9] is critical here.

The Critical Essay

Many students ramble. I teach structure.

  • Process over Content: Just like in Maths, showing your working (or in this case, your logical argument) is where the marks are.
  • Evidence: We work on selecting quotes that are flexible enough to answer multiple question types.

If you are looking for a tutor who balances scientific rigour with linguistic flair, I can help.
