Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can an English Literature tutor help my child enjoy reading?

Yes! Our tutors will explore themes within the texts with your child. They will also offer recommendations for books that your child will enjoy, and explain why authors make certain literary choices. This personalised approach makes texts, like Shakespeare, much more approachable for reluctant readers.

My child struggles with analysis and finds it boring. How can a tutor help?

Our yutors make analysis feel natural, not like a rigid formula. They show how to ‘read between the lines’ and explore deeper meanings, discussing why an author chose specific words or techniques. This helps students develop and express their own insights.

How does KS3 English Literature tutoring prepare my child for GCSEs?

A KS3 tutor links lessons to the National Curriculum and GCSE requirements. They focus on skills like textual analysis, literary devices, and essay writing, gradually introducing GCSE-level expectations. By Year 9, your child will have a solid foundation and feel confident moving into GCSEs.

Can a tutor help with unseen poetry and prose?

Absolutely. Tutors teach strategies for approaching unfamiliar texts, focusing on tone, imagery, and structure. With practice, your child will confidently interpret unseen poetry and prose without feeling overwhelmed.

Will an English Literature tutor help with spelling and punctuation?

Yes. Tutors naturally embed KS3-level SPaG and vocabulary lessons into literature and writing exercises. This ensures your child strengthens these core skills while analysing texts, preparing them for the demands of GCSEs.

How can I tell if my child is making progress?

One-to-one tutoring offers clear, measurable progress. Tutors provide regular feedback, target weak areas, and adapt lessons to your child’s needs. You’ll see improvements in understanding, analysis, and confidence - far beyond what school reports alone show.
