Erica H
I worked with Erica in the months leading up to my A levels , and it made the world of a difference. Not only is she really friendly and makes you feel comfortable, but we also did very focused tasks on things I was struggling with which led to vast improvement . I ended up moving up more than a grade and got a really good result . I really recommend Erica for anyone struggling to improve and feeling like they are stuck without moving forward

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How can an A-Level English tutor help me manage the huge reading load?
A good tutor will help you get the most out of every book. You’ll learn how to read more efficiently, spot key themes and literary techniques, and make notes that actually stick. Whether it’s Frankenstein or your poetry anthology, your tutor will show you how to approach texts instead of feeling buried under the pages.
My essay feedback often says “be more analytical” and “avoid waffling.” How can tutoring help with that?
You’re definitely not alone - this is one of the most common challenges! A tutor can teach you how to go beyond simply describing what happens in a text. Together, you’ll learn how to build strong arguments, use evidence effectively, and explain why a writer’s choices matter. With some clear essay frameworks and feedback, you’ll soon be writing with insight and focus - not fluff.
Where do I start with the Non-Exam Assessment (NEA)?
The NEA can feel like a big task, but with the right guidance, it becomes manageable. Your tutor can help you choose the right texts, shape your research question, plan your argument, and refine your writing. They’ll give you tailored feedback at each stage, helping you stay on track and feel confident about your independent project.
Can tutors help with university applications or the UCAS Personal Statement?
Absolutely! Your tutor can help you express your love of literature in a way that really stands out. They’ll guide you through brainstorming, structuring your statement, and highlighting the critical thinking and communication skills you’ve gained from studying English Literature - the exact qualities universities love to see.
How can I revise multiple texts effectively for my exams?
Juggling Shakespeare, a 19th-century novel, and modern drama all at once can be tough. Your A-Level English Literature tutor will help you create a smart revision plan that links key themes, characters, and critical perspectives across your texts. They can also run through practice questions and timed essays with you, so you’re fully prepared (and calm!) on exam day.
What kind of careers can A-Level English Literature lead to?
English Literature opens more doors than you might think! Alongside teaching, writing, or journalism, it gives you sought-after skills like critical thinking, empathy, communication, and analysis. These are invaluable in fields like law, marketing, HR, publishing, research, and beyond - anywhere you need to understand people and express ideas clearly.
Are your A-Level English tutors online, and can I trust their quality?
Yes, all our tutors teach online, which means you can learn from the best, wherever you are. With over 4,100 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, our students consistently tell us how much they value their learning experience.
