From the 11+ to a University of Birmingham Application: Why English Matters
Mastering English Language is the key that opens so many doors in Birmingham and beyond. It’s the skill that turns a tricky 11+ Verbal Reasoning question into a puzzle they can solve with confidence. It’s the ability to analyse a poem by a local hero like Benjamin Zephaniah with insight for a GCSE essay. And it’s the power to write a personal statement that stands out, making a compelling case for a place at a top university. It’s their passport to the next step, whatever that may be.

Lucy C
Experienced English Language Tutor - KS3, GCSE and A level
Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced tutor and examiner, who has been teaching English Language and Literature since I completed my PGCE in 2013. I specialise in the AQA and Edexcel exam boards.Literacy is rooted in language, but literacy extends far beyond the capacity to read and write. It is the prism through which we engage with the wider world, construct identities and create meaning in all areas of daily life. It is culture, community, critique and creation all at once. This is what makes language and literature so fascinating to teach. It is also what can make it frustrating for those...

Find a tutor Elandra G
I started taking tutoring lessons about a month or two before my a level, as I wanted to be able to gain insight of how to achieve a better grade when I had initially been panicking English was not my strongest subject.
Luckily, I was able to have my weekly lessons with Elandra, who patiently tutored me and catered towards my ability. Her experience with English as well as knowledge on what examiners are looking for allowed me to achieve a grade A in english language.
I highly recommend these lessons to anyone who is feeling nervous or unsure with how to boost their marks.

Emsal A
Simply speaking, Emsal has transformed my grades from 5 and 6 in English Language and English Literature in Year 10 to grades 8 and 9 with his patient, kind, and easygoing character and method. Not only does he have a great personality as a teacher, but also is highly skilled and capable of teaching these subjects, giving useful tips and improvements as well as higher knowledge and context to access excellent grades. More importantly,, Emsal helped me develop my interest towards English which I had not previously enjoyed, allowing me to commit to homework tasks between lessons so I could receive feedback and gradually improve my analytical or prose writing style. Overall, I fully recommend Emsal as a GCSE English Language and Literature tutor as he is experienced, affable, and improved my English capabilities.

Carla J
The first time I spoke to Carla, I knew were were in safe hands. She is warm and supportive as well as being extremely professional and knowledgeable. We only worked with her for a short time, but she very quickly identified an issue that was holding my son back, and she boosted his confidence so that he has felt much more prepared going into his GCSEs. I recommend her very highly.
