Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

When is the best time to start A-Level English tutoring?

Anytime your child feels they could use support! Some families start at the very beginning of the course to build a firm knowledge base, while others look for targeted help closer to exams. Even just a few focused sessions can make a big difference, as many students see noticeable progress in around eight hours of tutoring.

Are English lessons only available online?

Yes! Online tutoring gives you access to the perfect tutor from anywhere in the UK, without the hassle of travel. Lessons are flexible, interactive, and take place in a safe online classroom, making learning easy and convenient.

Can I choose my own A-Level English tutor?

Definitely. You can browse tutor profiles, read their bios, check their qualifications, and see reviews from other students. This helps you find the best match for your child’s learning style and needs

Can tutors help with specific texts, like Frankenstein or a poetry anthology?

Our tutors specialise in a wide range of texts and can provide in-depth support tailored to your child’s needs. Whether it’s exploring complex themes, analysing poetic techniques, or mastering essay structures for unseen texts, lessons are designed to tackle those exact challenges.

Will a tutor help my child understand the A-Level grading system?

Absolutely! Tutors can make the A-Level grading system easy to understand and show your child exactly what’s expected for top marks. With clear, constructive feedback on essays and analysis, they help develop the precise skills needed to excel.

Can A-Level English tutors help my child if they’re coming from National 5?

A tutor can provide tailored support to bridge the gap between National 5 and the A-Level expectations. They’ll reinforce key skills from the RUAE paper, guide portfolio writing, and introduce a broader range of literary texts, including Shakespeare, so your child builds a solid foundation of knowledge.
