Find Your Perfect IGCSE English Literature Tutor

Hello, I'm Isla! I recently graduated from Durham University with a first-class degree in Biological Sciences. During my second and third years at university, I formally tutored students at various levels up to A-Levels. I greatly enjoy teaching and have been doing informal tutoring throughout my educational journey from GCSEs. I am keen to help students understand, engage with, and enjoy the content they are learning! I tutored Biology A-Level during my university years. My teaching style focuses on question-and-answer methods, with exam and study questions helping further enhance the student's knowledge of the subject, which helped me achieve 8/9s in GSCE science subjects and an A* in A-Level Biology. However, I will alter lessons to complement the student's needs. I explore anything the students don't understand until they feel confident about the material, using visual aids to reinforce any particular areas of difficulty. I also like to bring in extra material related to the everyday world they see and the information they are learning about. I will always work to improve their confidence in themselves and their skills. Furthermore, I have developed acute skills in writing scientific essays, literature reviews, and designing an ecology project. Therefore, I can provide feedback and offer any aid to those who want to improve in any of these areas. During my work experience and while volunteering for a SHINE project, I worked with younger kids (KS2) to provide English lessons. I immensely enjoyed teaching this subject and am enthusiastic about English. I obtained an English Literature scholarship for my A-level education, achieved an A* for English Literature A-level, and am spending my current year after my university degree working on a novel. I would love to help any student find a passion for creative writing or analysis of literature, which allows them to prepare before they go into KS3 or GCSEs. In my free time, I work on a fiction novel, sew, or hike in the wilderness. I am interested in mycology, spending lots of time looking for and identifying various fruiting fungi, and zoology, enjoying any time spent with animals! I aim to promote the same enthusiasm and inspire confidence in the students during their academic journey. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to working with you and your student to achieve their academic and personal goals!

Hi, I’m Alfie — a recent Classics graduate from the University of Manchester with a deep love of language, literature, and big ideas. I tutor in Latin, Ancient Greek, English, and Religious Studies. I studied Latin at both GCSE and A-Level (achieving an A in each), before reading Classics at the University of Manchester, where I graduated with a 2:1. At university, I focused heavily on mastering Classical Languages — Latin and Ancient Greek — and even studied at the Novum Vivarium in Rome, a renowned school where all instruction is delivered entirely in spoken Latin. Alongside my language studies, I developed a strong interest in the cultural, literary, and philosophical dimensions of the ancient world — interests which naturally extend into English and Religious Studies. I’ve hosted a podcast with Luke Ranieri, one of the world’s foremost scholars in modern spoken Latin, where we explored topics ranging from grammar to deeper questions about meaning and tradition. I’ve now been tutoring for over a year across various platforms. My teaching style is grounded in curiosity and collaboration: I like to ask open-ended questions and guide students toward figuring things out for themselves. This is especially effective in subjects that require interpretation and reflection, like English and Religious Studies. One thing I often help students with is building confidence. Many pupils — especially in intellectually demanding subjects — struggle not with ability but with a fear of making mistakes. My lessons create a safe space where trial and error is encouraged and where even small wins are celebrated. Over time, I’ve seen this approach transform not just how students perform, but how they think. Outside tutoring, I’m a passionate language learner (I speak French and Italian and am learning Russian) and I enjoy playing guitar in my free time. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch — I’d love to hear from you.

I am a first-class Mathematics and Statistics student with over 6 years of formal tutoring experience. I have supported learners of different levels, helping them strengthen core skills, improve exam performance, and build confidence. I enjoy breaking down complex ideas into simple steps and making lessons engaging. Outside academics, I love problem-solving activities that keep my analytical skills sharp, which I bring into every tutoring session.

I am a highly experienced English tutor with over five years of teaching both English Language and Literature across all levels and major exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, WJEC, OCR, and IB. I have worked with students of all ages—from children to adults—both individually and in groups. In addition to academic tutoring, I also teach English as a second language. I have taught learners from across the world, including China, Hong Kong, and Poland. I provide tailored support for non-native speakers, from structured lessons to high-level conversational practice designed to mirror native speaker fluency. Whether supporting young learners or adult professionals, I help students gain confidence, accuracy, and natural flow in their spoken and written English. My sessions are interactive, engaging, and adapted to each student’s needs. I provide all necessary materials, offer written feedback on every homework assignment, and maintain detailed lesson notes to track progress. Parents receive regular updates to ensure transparency and consistent development. Academically, I hold two First-Class degrees from Russell Group universities: a BA (Hons) in English Language and Literature from the University of Edinburgh (2020), and an MA in Shakespeare Studies (Distinction) from King’s College London, delivered in collaboration with Shakespeare’s Globe. During my undergraduate studies, I led the Peer-Assisted Learning Scheme (PALS) for English Literature students at the University of Edinburgh. Since 2021, I have worked at King’s College London and also work as a freelance writer. My strong academic foundation, global teaching experience, and commitment to student success allow me to support learners in achieving excellent results and developing a genuine appreciation for English.

I am a passionate and detail-oriented First-Class graduate of English Literature at King’s College London, now continuing at KCL to pursue my MA in Contemporary Literature, Culture, and Theory. I am hardworking and organised, and excited to contribute my skills to help you excel in your English literature and language studies! I will create an empathetic, comfortable, and positively challenging learning environment for you, and I am committed to supporting you according to your needs.

My name is Lucas. I have been a lifelong lover and student of the English language and achieved a 2:1 in English from UCL, graduating 2025. I remember my time both learning and teaching English at an A Level and IGCSE fondly. I believe these subjects to be integral to formulating a growing student's capacity to think critically and closely analyse the written and spoken word, which in this particular day and age is more important than anything and serves as a distinguishing factor between themselves and a growing proportion of the population struggling with literacy and critical reading independent of external tools. I want to pay forward the efforts from my predecessors and continue teaching from this lineage which has given me an incredible toolset to view and approach the world, and the breadth of perspectives this subject can introduce to any person, regardless of age or stage of life.

Hello, I’m Jasmine, and I am a researcher at the University of Cambridge, unravelling the fundamentals of the gut microbiome. My style of tutoring is primarily through focusing on exactly the answers that examiners are looking for by studying the mark scheme. From my personal experience of tutoring, I found this was the best way to maximise the points I get and receiving the “nitpicky” marks that are awarded when an answer is correctly and properly worded. I also believe in breaking a topic down into the fundamentals to make sure a good basis foundation is applied. In my free time, I am an avid actor (participated in Edinburgh Fringe Festival) and have won many awards through school and undergrad. With this passion, it helps to communicate and engage with the student to pass on my eagerness for the subject, to them. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me! I hope to instil the same enthusiasm I have when teaching, to you and/or your student, and to make sure they excel :)

Hi, I'm Emily and I've recently graduated from the University of St Andrews with a First Class Master of Arts (Hons) in English. I'm passionate about education and first discovered my love for teaching when I began tutoring Year 11 students for their IGCSE English exams in Sixth Form. It was so rewarding to watch their confidence grow and grades improve, and I would love to help your child to do the same. As someone who studied English Literature at university and also studied history and Latin at A-Level, I have lots of experience with textual analysis and essay writing. In tutoring sessions, I can provide feedback on assessment-style pieces of writing including coursework, guidance on the Point Evidence Analysis (PEA) structure, as well as discussions on key themes, ideas and contexts in the course materials. I also understand the immense benefits that reading for pleasure has on one's studies and am always more than happy to provide recommendations. In addition to literature, I have a lot of experience of learning languages, having studied Spanish at IGCSE, Latin at GCSE and A-Level and French at IGCSE, Higher Level IB and during my first year of university. I can help with vocab tests, going through grammatical structures, providing feedback on written pieces, translation practice and general conversation. I understand that every student has different needs and will cater my sessions to best suit their individual objectives. My teaching style is interactive, dynamic and flexible, enabling each student to get the most out of their lessons regardless of their learning style. I provide clear learning objectives for each session and engaging activities that range from mind maps to open-ended discussions, games and writing practice. I also appreciate the value of past paper practice and am keen to demystify the exam process. For each subject, I provide detailed feedback on past paper responses and guide my students through the layout of their exams, as well as the assessment objectives and criteria listed in the mark schemes. I am also always happy to offer advice on how to revise effectively and successfully navigate the stress of assessment periods. In addition to exams, I am eager to support students who are preparing to apply for higher education and can offer support for interview preparation and personal statements. Since I began tutoring, I have helped students from across the globe to pass their Common Entrance exams to Eton College and achieve top grades in their GCSEs. If you would like to learn more about my tutoring style and see how I could help support your child's learning, please reach out to the Edumentors team to book a trial session with me.

Hi, I'm Sara. I offer one-to-one tutoring in English Literature and Language, Business, and History - subjects I'm genuinely passionate about and love helping students engage with at a deeper level. My approach isn't about memorising mark schemes or rote-learning generic answers. It's about building real understanding, developing your confidence, and finding what makes each subject click for you personally. I work with students at A-Level and GCSE level, tailoring every session to fit where you are right now and where you want to be. Whether that's improving your essay structure or analysis, mastering key concepts, or preparing for an exam, we'll build a plan that works for you. Prior to my degree I took two gap years, in which I gained in-person experience teaching English as a foreign language. I'm currently in the third year of my BSc Social Sciences degree at University College London (UCL), one of the UK's leading universities. You can be confident that the knowledge and skills I bring to each session are up to date, academically rigorous, and genuinely informed by what it takes to succeed at a high level. Going through both my GCSEs and A Levels in COVID years, I know what good (and bad!) e-learning can look like. I believe the best tutoring is when no question is too basic, curiosity is always encouraged, and progress happens naturally. If you'd like to find out more or book a first session, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

I graduated with a First from Oxford last year for my undergraduate History BA. I am really passionate about teaching and this year I have engaged in a variety of teaching roles, including volunteering as an English teacher for 3 months in Nepal. I have tutored History and Geography A level, alongside English Lit and Language GCSE for over 3 years. My tutoring style primarily revolves around teaching technique based essay writing improvements, and my students are able to massively boost their academic performance by focusing on these core skills. I am keen to provide a personalised experience tailored to each individual student which best suits their individual needs and learning approach. As a graduate in History, I am extremely experienced in essay writing (having to had to write weekly essays over 3 years). Thus I am well equipped to provide useful feedback and tips for any aspiring humanities student. I always like to be available to any of my students outside of sessions in case they have any queries or requests for content.
