At Birmingham Tutor Company our aim is to help students of all ages with their functional skill English level 2 exam. This involves helping students to prepare for the exam as well as actually booking the exam. Functional skills English level 2 is a qualification that is equivalent to a GCSE level 4, with over 100,000 people a year taking the exams for all sorts of reasons including access courses, apprenticeships and for employment. Many learners may not have studied English as an academic subject for many years, so getting back to basics and understanding the fundamentals of spelling, punctuation and grammar, is key.
The Functional Skills English Exam itself is split into 3 parts, these are the Reading exam (1 hour) and the Writing exam (1 hour), as well as the Speaking, Listening and communication Exam. So the skills mentioned above will be very important for 1, if not both of the exams. With any exam, practice makes perfect! So your tutoring services will be perfect as we will go over everything however many times is required for you to get a good understanding of the subject. A large part of our English Level 2 Tuition focuses on getting the students reading/writing skills up to exam level, then we work out from there until you are confident you have the knowledge needed.
For the SLC, you will be asked to produce a presentation, during the presentation you will be graded on the clarity of the presentation, as well as how you interact with the other learners lso doing the SLC. Your grade for this part will rely on your demonstration of listening, as well as your ability to communicate effectively.
