How we teach it

Taught by [English tutor name + qualifications]

Our lessons teach the essay structure that moves a response from description into the top bands, practised on set texts and unseen work.

A-Level English is where essay craft matters most. The step up from GCSE isn't really more content — it's the demand for argument, analysis and a confident personal voice. Our lessons teach the essay structure that moves a response from description into the top bands, and we practise it on your child's set texts and unseen work every week.

Lessons are matched to your child's exact board — AQA, OCR or Edexcel — and cover both Literature (set texts, poetry, prose, drama, critical theory) and Language (spoken and written analysis, language change, child language). We organise the set texts, quotations and contextual material so they're ready to deploy, and we build a repeatable method for the unseen texts that unsettle so many students. The NEA coursework is supported from planning through to final polish.

Marked work, every week

What a marked answer looks like

Homework is marked with written feedback within 7 days — not a tick, a clear note on the next mark.

Marked exam answer · sample

How does the writer present the theme of isolation in the opening chapter? (A-Level Literature, 25 marks)

The writer shows isolation through the setting. The character is alone in the house which shows they are lonely. The weather is also bad.

Examiner notes

  • ✓ Identifies setting as a vehicle for the theme — a valid point.
  • ✗ Description, not analysis. Use the 'point → evidence → analysis → link' structure. Quote the text, then analyse the method (word choice, imagery), then link to the theme.
  • ✗ No quotation included. Always embed a short quotation and analyse its effect, not just state it.
