Why English Literature is Key to Your Child's Future Success
English Literature is so much more than just reading books; it's about developing critical thinking, sophisticated analytical insight, and the ability to articulate complex ideas clearly – skills highly valued by top universities and employers alike. Whether your child is dissecting Shakespeare's 'Macbeth', exploring poetic devices, or crafting a compelling argument in an essay, they're building foundations for success. These are the abilities that truly open doors, not just for competitive humanities courses at institutions like Oxbridge or Russell Group universities, but for a wide range of academic and professional paths where clear communication and deep understanding are paramount.

This was a general chat with Alex regarding our requurements. Went very well and we have decided to use Alex going forward. Only issue is that Alex wasn't able to add the session as a chat and so we have been charged - possibly an issue with the app which I am sure we can get resolved
