Does Mr Olu cover both GCSE English Language and English Literature in Wolverhampton?

Yes. Mr Olu covers both GCSE English Language (Paper 1 creative reading and writing, Paper 2 non-fiction reading and transactional writing) and GCSE English Literature (prose, poetry and drama texts on the AQA specification). Many Wolverhampton students find the two overlap — strong analytical reading skills help in both — and Mr Olu teaches them as connected rather than entirely separate subjects.

My child is in Year 9 and struggling with reading comprehension — can Mr Olu help?

Absolutely. KS3 reading comprehension is a core part of what Mr Olu addresses. He works with students to develop close-reading habits — identifying what a text is doing at language, structural and form level — which pays dividends when GCSE questions demand analytical writing. Early intervention in Year 9 is far more effective than crisis revision in Year 11.

Which Wolverhampton schools does Mr Olu have experience with?

Mr Olu is based locally in Wolverhampton and has worked with students from schools including Heath Park Academy, Wednesfield Academy, St Peter's Collegiate Academy and Wolverhampton Girls' High School. He understands the particular pressures these schools place on Year 10 and 11 students approaching their GCSEs.
