Your vids are all really great! I won’t be watching them any more but will stay subscribed as you helped me to get a grade 8 in English Lit and I can’t thank you enough for that. I also got a grade 8 in english language and a distinction in my English Spoken Language Endorsement. As well as this I got a distinction in my german, 6 more grade 8s and 3 grade 9s. Wish you the best with your channel. 😃
