Your English Grinds Schedule
Paul has two weekly grinds per week, allowing him to have focused Paper 1 Grinds on a Sunday and a dedicated English Paper 2 grind on a Wednesday.
Both English exams are worth 50% but too often students put too much time into their studied poetry, studied text and comparative on Paper 2, and neglect their composing and comprehension on Paper 1. Paul ensures that his students are well prepared for all aspects of the exam across both papers.
