Top English Literature Tutors

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 student at Durham University studying Music with a module of French. I achieved A* A* A at A level and have 11 GCSEs consisting of eight 9s and three 8s. My TEFL qualification, a previous tutoring job and coaching sport has given me experience at delivering content and understanding the different ways people learn and how to adapt to their needs. In my free time I enjoy singing and playing hockey.

Hello! I'm Kai and I am a second year Politics and Modern History student at the University of Manchester. I am on track for a first in my degree and enjoy writing articles for the university newspaper the Mancunion. At A Level, I achieved an A* in English Literature, an A in History and a B in Politics. At GCSE, I achieved a 9 in History, and an 8 in English Literature and English Language, with a Distinction in Spoken Language. I am therefore well-suited to A-level and GCSE tutoring for English, History and Politics. Tutors usually teach in subjects that came easily to them in school. A common pitfall is that every topic is so intuitive to them, it seems like common sense, and so they struggle with breaking down the subject and explaining it in easily digestible chunks for any student who is struggling to grasp the basics of a concept. I strive to understand each topic academically, but also where a new student learning the subject for the first time might have a hard time understanding, and explaining it step by step. This approach is what helped me to go from a being stuck on a C in English for all of Year 12, to getting an A* at the end of Year 13. Overall, I aim to instil a rounded understanding in my students, which in my experience leads to an ease in recalling the topics when it comes to the exam better than memorising notes and textbook examples can.

Hi, my name is Max and I am a recent Human, Social and Political Sciences graduate at the University of Cambridge. I am confident in tutoring a vast array of subjects at IB, A Level, GCSE and KS3 levels. This includes English Language and Literature, Mathematics, Geography, Politics, Chemistry, Biology and Physics. I have been working at Edumentors for over 18 months now and have tutored an array of subjects for hundreds of hours at A-Level, IB, GCSE and KS3 levels. At Sixth Form, I studied the IB and received a total of 44/45 points, with 7, 7, 7 at higher level, and also received 11 GCSE level 9s (including Further Maths). I am a recent Graduate from University of Cambridge, achieving a high 2:1 grade, focusing on Political Science and quantitative, statistical methods on Politics specifically. I have many examination and preparation techniques I look forward to sharing, which will be recommended on a student-by-student basis, meaning my tutoring is tailored to the specific needs of your child. Not only this, but if required, I am suited to delving beyond course material to debate topics at a higher level, which is excellent preparation for university work and personal statement-making. Specifically, I have helped students achieve grade 8s/9s in their English and Maths GCSE studies from the lower grades (5 and 6) they were working at initially. I have received excellent feedback from all the students I have tutored. For example, in English, I find collaborative discussion around key texts essential to unlocking the top grades. This is not only in relation to set texts, but sometimes I have found it rewarding for the student (depending on their ability) to discuss texts beyond the curriculum to challenge them further (especially in English Language lessons) Overall, my approach to teaching is professional, approachable, engaging, and I seek to tailor my teaching methods for the needs of each student. Part of this is my in-depth knowledge of exam-boards such as AQA and Edexcel, meaning I can tailor tutoring lessons to each board respectively, and ensure I cover the required content in-depth. Now that I have graduated, I am also very flexible regarding scheduling, meaning I am available for as many or as little sessions as you need me for. This will be the case until the start of next year, meaning I can offer long-term tutoring support. Aside from this, I am a keen Badminton-player, am currently learning German at an advanced level, and am the Editor-In-Chief of the Cambridge Journal of Political Affairs. These are all experiences I find very rewarding, and I hope they demonstrate to you my broad-ranging academic and extra-curricular ability. I look forward to helping your child reach their goals! Please message if you are interested, or have any questions at all.

Hi, I'm Maddie and I'm currently an undergraduate at Cambridge University studying Music. I am a tutor because I love passing on my passion for music and for learning, and I create personalised lesson plans to help each student achieve their goals and learn in the way that best suits them. I previously studied at the Purcell School where I achieved 3 A*s at A level (Music, English Literature and French) and also specialised in Composition, Conducting, Classical Alto Saxophone and Piano. I have been successful in multiple composition competitions including being shortlisted for BBC Young Composer 2023, and my work has been performed by ensembles such as the Carducci Quartet. I am really passionate about Music Education and have spoken on various panels, including at the International Society for Music Education’s 35th World Conference. My first experience teaching was when I was 16 and volunteered in year 8 music lessons, teaching the students to write songs. Since then I have done music outreach in Primary and Secondary Schools across England, and led music workshops for youth groups and local refugee children, all of which I find incredibly fulfilling. I have formally tutored ABRSM Grade 5 Music Theory for over a year, and my most recent pupil achieved a distinction. As a Cambridge Undergraduate I went through a rigorous application and interview process and can also offer support in helping students present their own accomplishments, interests and goals in applications, so that their best shines through.

I enjoy helping others succeed academically, and have provided tutoring sessions specifically around mock interviews and personal statement support, in order to help students reach the university of their dreams. I am patient, imaginative and engaging in my teaching. I strive to tailor each lesson to the personal requirements and interests of my tutee. Looking forward to hearing from you!
