AS-level English Literature tutors
5 of 5 UK tutors teaching English Literature at AS-level.
English Literature at GCSE and A-level is taught around set texts — a Shakespeare, a 19th-century novel, a modern play or novel, and an anthology of poetry at GCSE; longer set texts and a coursework component at A-level. Tutoring helps most where students can discuss a text fluently but struggle to write to the assessment objectives — context, language analysis, structural analysis, comparison. Boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, WJEC) prescribe different texts; tutor familiarity with the specific texts matters more here than in most subjects. For A-level, look for tutors comfortable with critical theory and unseen analysis under timed conditions.
AS-levels are the first-year sixth-form qualification (Year 12, age 16-17), taken as standalone qualifications worth half an A-level in subjects where students don't continue to A2. Since the 2015-2017 reforms decoupled AS from A-level in England, AS marks no longer count toward the A-level grade — students sit fresh A-level exams at the end of Year 13. Wales and Northern Ireland retained the older modular structure. Tutoring at AS focuses on consolidation through Year 12 to set up A-level success; in England, the AS exam itself is now optional and increasingly skipped. Confirm the actual route the student is on.
