Online A-Level English Tutors
The leap to A-Level English can be a shock. Suddenly, the texts are denser and the analysis needs to be so much deeper. It’s hard to watch your child struggle with a subject they used to enjoy, and even harder when you don’t feel you can help with it yourself. But you can still help them.
Our Tutor Finder does the work for you. By asking a few simple questions about your child and their specific A-Level course, we can recommend a small, handpicked selection of tutors we’d genuinely back to help.

More than literary analysis — it’s about finding their voice
The right tutor helps your child untangle complex themes and structure a convincing argument. Soon, they're not just reading the text, they're developing their own ideas about it. This is the confidence that changes how they feel about the subject.
It’s a skill that goes far beyond the exam hall, helping them write with clarity and conviction in their personal statements and at university.

Amy S
Patient, upbeat and encouraging English tutor
Since I started tutoring over 6 years ago now, during a summer break in my first degree, I've only grown to love working with young people more and more. All of them surprise me with the insight they're capable of and how much they're able to achieve with just a little encouragement!My particular expertise is in Religious Studies - I have a Master's with Distinction and BA with a First in Theology, from Durham and KCL respectively. I'm now approaching the completion of my PhD, also in the Theology field; this also gave me the opportunity to do a little classroom teaching of first year degree students....

Couldnt have asked for a better tutor. Her patience was undoubtedly one of the first thing i noticed about her tutoring, and as a consequence, I was able to learn at a pace that felt most comfortable to me! Equally her style of tutoring and constant pushing of me to go further for A level English is something i couldnt have asked for more of!!Thank you Aileen, it has been a pleasure having you as a tutor :)

Dr Lucy Y
As a parent, I cannot recommend Lucy highly enough. While my daughter was already doing well in English, she needed extra guidance to truly master the deeper analysis required for the top grades.Lucy was definitely exactly what we were looking for,she was able to effectively teach my daughter how to break down texts and articulate arguments with a level of sophistication that wasn't really taught at her school.The impact was immediate - my daughter's analysis became much more mature,and she constantly told me she wished she had found Lucy sooner. My daughter really enjoyed her lessons with Lucy -she created a wonderfully positive encouraging environment that kept my daughter motivated and engaged! If you want a tutor who will be able to genuinely elevate your child's confidence and skills, look no further - she is absolutely fantastic!

Donald S
We only wish we had found Donald a few weeks earlier. He was able to place the methodology, exam technique and essay-writing style into a context that truly engaged our son and helped him understand the material more clearly. As a result, his independent revision became far more structured, much higher in quality and, most importantly, far less of a chore. We worked with Donald for A-level Combined English, and our son’s exam experience was the best it has ever been. We are extremely grateful for Donald’s support, and I have no doubt that the time he spent with our son, together with the more focused revision that followed, helped him feel significantly more confident going into his exams.
