Why English Literature is Key to Your Child's Future Success
English Literature is more than just reading novels or memorising quotes. It develops critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and the ability to communicate ideas clearly – skills that universities and employers highly value. Understanding the nuances of Shakespeare, analysing poetry, and crafting persuasive essays builds a foundation not just for GCSEs and A-Levels, but for lifelong academic and professional success.
Strong literature skills also support other subjects, boosting comprehension, essay writing, and analytical thinking across the curriculum. By investing in personalised English Literature tuition, you’re helping your child approach learning with confidence, preparing them for competitive sixth forms, A-Levels, and top university applications at institutions like Oxbridge or Russell Group universities.

Engaging English Literature tutor
At the heart of tutoring is passion for one’s subject; I am keen to engage students through a wide range of materials and learning techniques.

John M
I was dubious that I would see any benefit or engagement in my son when it came to English but John has managed to reach him in a way that is accessible and enjoyable. My son attends on time, each week and appears to b positively engaged which is a breath of fresh air based on the challenges we have had with him through his whole school career.
I'm looking forward to seeing his continued growth

Charilaos has a clear understanding of how specifically the AQA board for GCSE English Literature works. He provides you a structure for writing a paragraph which helps attain all the AOs naturally when writing. He also gives you feedback after writing your own essay which makes it feel very personalized.
