Your child puts in the hours. The grade doesn't move.
GCSE English is the subject where working hard is not enough on its own. The mark schemes for Language and Literature reward specific skills: how to structure a response, how to reference a text, and how to write analysis that examiners recognise and reward.
Most students are never explicitly taught these techniques. A good tutor teaches them directly, practices them with your child, and the grade follows.
How It Works
WHO ARE OUR MATHS TUTORS?
Tutors who know exactly what GCSE examiners are looking for.
Our GCSE English tutors study at Oxford, Cambridge, UCL and Russell Group universities, many specialising in English Literature, English Language, or both.
They know the AQA, Edexcel and OCR mark schemes inside out. They know how to structure a Language Paper 2 response, how to write a timed comparative essay, and how to pick quotations that earn marks. More importantly, they remember being the student who stared at a blank page and didn't know where to start.

-
Yes. We treat them as separate subjects because the skills are different. Your child's tutor will focus on whichever they need most — or both.
-
Most students settle in within two to three sessions. The first session focuses on diagnosing where the gaps are — usually it's exam technique and answer structure as much as content. From there we build a plan around the specific topics and skills that need work.
-
Essay structure is one of the most common things we work on at GCSE. A tutor will break down exactly how to open a paragraph, embed a quotation, and write the kind of analysis the mark scheme rewards — then practise it until it becomes automatic.
-
No. Year 10 is a good time to start. Getting the techniques right early means your child builds confidence across the whole course rather than cramming before mocks.
-
Most students notice a difference in confidence within two to three sessions. Grade improvements typically show up within six to eight weeks of consistent sessions.
