When we were preparing for the IGCSE English Language exam I went onto YouTube and found a few different people who shared videos on how they suggested you answer the exam questions. I showed a few of them to my daughter and she very quickly zoomed in on one – Taughtly. Out of all the different English Language videos that both she and I watched Taughtly was the one that we went to time and time again, in fact I think we ended up watching every single one of her IGCSE English Language Videos and in the end we just used Taughtly’s videos and ignore the others.

We started by watching Taughtly on YouTube, I think the first time we turned to her was for her video on how to tackle the descriptive writing question for paper 2. I am so glad we found her because my daughter is actually a really good writer but she needed to understand what the examiners were after. And she needed those vital pointers on how to structure her piece so that she could complete it within he time frame.

We then discovered her website (Taughtly website) where she shares worksheets and other bits and pieces and I even signed up for a FREE account with her which allowed us to download extra pages and access whatever we wanted. (She does also have some English Literature content but we have not used any of that we have just been using her English Language content).

So what is it about her videos that we liked?

Well firstly she speaks clearly and is easy to understand (sounds basic but I have found a few where we were struggling to understand them). But the main thing is the way she tackles the work – she breaks the questions down into stages and explains them clearly. She provides worksheets so they kids can work through activities / questions with her guidance. AAnd I feel like her advice and suggestions are both practical and doable.

If you are going to be working towards the Cambridge IGCSE English Language exam then both my daughter and I highly recommend you spend some time watching the Taughtly videos. She really was the resource that gave us a LOT of confidence before the exams (we have not got her marks for her final exam back yet but she did incredibly well in her mocks and I do feel like a lot of that was because of Taughtly’s content)

Okay for those of you wondering we decided to go for the Cambridge IGCSE English Language exam and NOT the Edexcel IGCSE English Language exam mainly because of the style of questions, we preferred the way the Cambridge exam papers were set out and their type of questions to the Edexcel exam paper.
