How does it work?
Our English course is broken down into easy to follow, bitesize video lessons. Each module covers a specific assessment objective – these are the key areas the examiners will be marking you against.
Simply work through 1-2 lessons with our AQA and Eduqas examiners each time you log on to SchoolOnline (we recommend twice a week, at a time that suits you!). Each lesson contains a digital tutorial video walking through the really important elements and skills of the assessment objective. In less than 10 minutes, you will have mastered another powerful tool to add to your English toolbox!
Once you’ve finished watching the video (go ahead, replay it to watch it again if you need to!), move on to the quiz. This is designed to first check you understood everything in the video, and then give you a chance to apply your new skills to a text in questions similar to what you might see in your exam.
Bonus
Our grade boosting vocabulary Glossary course is now included.
Our powerful vocabulary booster tutorials will help you master all those technical terms and concepts you come across in your English classes. This course covers things like Cohesion, Colloquial, Infer, Implicit, Hyperbole and much much more.
Our examiners strongly recommend building your vocabulary to really enrich your writing – this can often make the difference between two grades! Using our glossary to build a powerful vocabulary will supercharge your English skills, and really help you on your way to Smarter Learning, Better Grades. Not only will you understand Reading questions better and know how to answer them for full marks, your Writing will also be far richer, giving you that extra boost you need to do really well!
