How an A* in English Literature Opens University Doors
Mastering English Literature is about more than appreciating classic texts; it’s about developing the high-level analytical skills that admissions tutors for courses like Law, History, and Politics are searching for. The ability to deconstruct a complex argument, whether in a Shakespearean sonnet or the intricate narratives of a writer like Northampton's own Alan Moore, demonstrates a mind ready for degree-level thinking. This is the skill that makes a personal statement compelling and an application impossible to ignore.

Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone.

Erica H
I truly cannot recommend Erica enough; she is a truly incredible tutor with a real passion for teaching. She was beyond dedicated, and went out of her way in all aspects to help me solidify the A* grade I needed for my A-Levels. She helped me greatly with both macro-issues (e.g. integrating specific contexts or interpretations into my work) as well as micro-issues (e.g. proper academic register and terminology used consistently). Via her expertise, I would consistently score maximum to near-maximum marks in practice essays; a huge improvement from before!

Peter W
My neurodivergent son had been struggling with his A Levels English Literature, the pressure, and overwhelming workload were taking a toll. Peter made a world of difference.
Peter is incredibly patient, understanding, and flexible. He adapted his teaching to suit my son’s needs, creating a calm, low-pressure learning environment. With his traditional teaching style, clear explanations, close reading of texts, and thoughtful discussion, Peter transmitted his genuine love of literature to my son. This not only helped my son truly enjoy the material but also rekindled his love for the subject.
Thanks to Peter’s support, my son improved significantly in his subject and also felt much more positive and confident about his studies. I can’t recommend Peter highly enough he’s an exceptional tutor who truly cares.
