I’m Clare, a secondary English teacher, Assistant Headteacher and private tutor. I have over 10 years’ experience working for and with all exam boards in examining and moderation roles, and a proven track record of helping both my private students and classes improve their grades and grow in confidence. I started The Thoughtful English Edit to share resources that save teachers planning time and help students feel more confident in English. My shop focuses on KS3 English and GCSE English Language and Literature. You’ll find guided extract booklets, annotated model essays, scaffolded lessons and revision materials designed for mixed-ability classrooms. I break down the parts students often find hardest, from choosing a useful quotation to explaining its effect and linking an idea to the rest of the text. Whether you’re introducing a text, building essay-writing confidence or preparing Year 11 for their exams, I hope you’ll find something you can pick up and use with your class.
