Every lesson taught by Dee
10+ years in UK classrooms, KS3 to A-Level, and an AQA & Edexcel examiner. Macbeth is taught the way it’s marked — with the quotations, context and technique that score.
Know the plot and characters cold — no re-reading panic before the exam.
Hold a bank of quotations, organised by theme and character — it's a closed-book exam.
Write paragraphs that hit AO1, AO2 and AO3 — because you know what each one means.
Have practised real exam questions with an examiner's walkthrough of the answers.
Questions, answered

Yes — the Introduction to Macbeth plays for everyone, no login and no card. It’s the same full lesson subscribers get.
What does the subscription unlock?
Everything — every lesson in every course, checkpoints and the Exam Technique module, for £19/month (price TBC). Cancel anytime.
What happens to my progress if I cancel?
It’s kept. If you re-subscribe later you pick up exactly where you left off.
When do Acts 3–5 open?
They’re in production and release act by act. Subscribers get them automatically; leave your email on the notify list and we’ll tell you the moment each act lands.
I'm not studying AQA — is this still useful?
Yes. The lessons follow the AQA specification closely, but the play, the quotations and the essay skills are the same on every board.
