A set of revision booklets for Functional Skills English Level 1 and 2, Reading and Writing. These have not been updated for a while so some of the areas of the curriculum may not be relevant but on the whole they will provide the revision needed to pass functional skills English. Students like to have a set of resources to revise for the exam and these provide this. These booklets were originally based on the City and Guilds exam but can also be used for Edexcel and other awarding bodies for functional skills. They may also be useful for basic skills for learners who are having to do GCSE. The booklets are for revision for the exam and are not full lessons for each subject, merely to remind and advise learners. These booklets were vital for my students and have been used by other colleagues. The resources state The Manchester College as that is where I worked, but they were created completely by myself.

This resource is a group of worksheets that cover specific grammar for learners of English who speak other languages proficiency level A1 and A2 (beginner). It covers grammar, reading and writing.

I then worked teaching English as a second language in functional skills, and in international schools and Cambridge English. Therefore I have a good understanding of English grammar and how to teach it effectively. I am also an EdTech specialist with a specialism in blended learning. I have good knowledge of graphic design and accessibility and methods of pedagogical learning.
