“My experience has always been one of competence, compassion and care. I’ve always been given detailed feedback after every session with very workable targets. My child feels happy and I can see her confidence has increased over time. Steve has a lot of knowledge and develops a very good rapport very early on and is able to precisely target areas of weakness quickly. Would highly recommend.”

Frequently Asked Questions About A Level English Tuition

Quick answers to the things parents most often ask before booking.

Do you cover both A Level English Literature and A Level English Language?
Yes — we cover both, as well as A Level English Language and Literature (the combined route some students take). When you enquire, just let us know which course your child is sitting and we’ll match them with a suitable tutor.
Which exam boards do you cover?
We support all major UK exam boards. Set texts, paper structures and assessment objectives differ from board to board, so just let us know which board your child is sitting when you enquire and we’ll match them with a tutor familiar with that specification. For more information on A Level qualifications and how they feed into university applications, see UCAS.
My child doesn’t know which set texts they’re studying yet. Is that a problem?
Not at all. We’ll start with the foundations — essay structure, close reading, embedding quotations, building arguments — and dovetail set-text support around your child’s school timetable as soon as we know what they’re studying.
Can you support the non-exam assessment (coursework)?
Yes — we offer structured support on the NEA, including help choosing texts, framing the question, drafting and refining the final piece. We don’t write coursework for students, but we coach them through the process so the final submission is genuinely their own best work.
My child finds essay writing under timed conditions stressful. Can you help?
This is one of the most common reasons families come to us at A Level English. Our tutors break down what examiners are looking for, build essay-planning routines that are quick under pressure, and rehearse timed responses with focused feedback — until writing fast feels natural rather than terrifying.
How do the online sessions actually work?
Sessions run via Google Classroom on a regular weekly slot. Students join from home using a laptop or tablet, work through content with the tutor and the other students in the group, and can ask questions throughout. Sessions are recorded so they can be revisited if needed.
What if my child misses a session?
Just let us know. Every session is recorded, so we can share the recording on request — meaning a missed week never sets your child back.
How does payment work?
A Level English sessions are £35 each, and payment is made half-termly so you’re never tied into a long contract. The first taster session is free.
Is the free taster session a real lesson?
Yes — it’s a full 60-minute session where your child joins the group, meets the tutor, and gets a genuine feel for how we teach. There’s no obligation to continue afterwards.
Can we join part-way through the year?
Of course — there’s no “wrong” time to start. We welcome students at any point in the academic year, whether you’re looking for steady support from September, joining us in the spring term, or coming on board for focused exam preparation closer to summer. Your tutor will quickly get a feel for where your child is and tailor sessions accordingly.
