Welcome fellow home-educator! I’m Catherine Mooney and I’ve been many things in my life – a writer, English teacher, examiner, artist and Open University tutor in Creative Writing – but the most important thing I’ve ever done is to home-educate my son from the age of five.
Eleven years ago I saw the need for a friendly, approachable distance learning course to help home-educated children take an IGCSE English Language exam, regardless of their ability or starting point. The result was my IGCSE English Language and IGCSE English Literature courses. This was so well received that I wrote further courses including Word Weavers for younger children, a Pre-IGCSE course, and an Essay Writing course.
Alongside Bobbie and Heather, my co-tutors, I have now helped over 1500 students across the world to achieve outstanding results in their English IGCSEs. It makes me especially happy that students with dyslexia and other special educational needs tell me they find my courses approachable, friendly and accessible, enabling them to do justice to their skills while achieving solid exam passes and enjoying the process.
