Course Outline

Our A level English Literature courses are skills-based rather than text specific. The course is designed to help students develop their skills in terms of their reading strategies, investigation of texts, appreciation of context and time periods, drawing out of similarities and differences, challenge of perceptions and interpretation of meaning. The number of students accepted onto our English Literature courses is strictly limited to six to allow the tutor to offer some individual support. We can鈥檛 cover every text for each student however, the skills learnt can be applied to the student鈥檚 other texts.

Key Topics

The course will cover a core range of topics selected from the list below, focussed largely on the topics identified by students on their portal. This means that the range of content covered on each course will vary according to course length and the students鈥� preferences.

  • Highly Recommended!

    My 14 yo is doing his GCSE history early and was super annoyed I booked a 2 day course. Especially on his week off ! Fast forward to the first evening, he came home and said he absolutely loved it and teacher was great and had learnt so much. Highly recommend!

  • Quality Teaching

    Courses have been excellent with very small groups and great teachers. The main advantage is that what they cover is so efficient – simply in the hours he spent with 91制片 he covered four times what he could have done on his own. It鈥檚 a big investment but it鈥檚 quality teaching and executed well.
