EPQ English Literature tutors
5 UK tutors who teach English Literature at EPQ.
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.
The Extended Project Qualification is a Level 3 standalone qualification taken alongside A-levels (typically in Year 12 or Year 13) and is worth half an A-level (up to 28 UCAS points at A*). Students choose their own topic and produce either a 5,000-word dissertation, or an artefact / performance accompanied by a 1,000-word report, plus a production log and a viva-style presentation. AQA's spec (7993) is the largest by a wide margin (~40,000 entries/year in England); Pearson Edexcel (Dissertation P301, Investigation P302, Performance P303, Artefact P304), OCR (H856) and WJEC / Eduqas also offer it. Tutoring on EPQ is closer to academic-research mentoring than subject teaching: research-question scoping, source evaluation and citation discipline, dissertation structure, statistical analysis where relevant, and viva preparation. Look for tutors with degree-level research experience in the project's topic area; subject-specialist A-level tutors don't always cover the dissertation craft well.
