A-Level English Literature Tutors

Hi I'm Esme Rose Mathialahan, and I'm an undergraduate at the University of York studying English Literature. As Head Girl, I acquired experience working with students of a range of ages through leading study groups, assemblies and student council meetings. One example of my tutoring experience includes participating in a mentoring programme where I worked with GCSE English students (whilst studying for my A-Levels) in both group settings and one to one. I hope to provide a safe and comfortable environment, where parents and students feel welcome to participate and ask questions, because I prioritise open and honest discussion. As a student during the Covid-19 Pandemic my education was affected, but lockdown provided the opportunity to develop independent learning skills and the ability to self-motivate. will provide students with the opportunity to guide the focus of their sessions, so their needs are the foundation of our work together and they can develop skills in self directed study with the nurturing environment I endeavor to create. I have received Anti-Bullying Ambassador Training with the Diana Award, allowing me to work closely with senior members of my Sixth Form in creating lesson plans and reforming the behaviour policy. I tutor KS3 English Literature and Language, GCSE English Literature and Language, and A-Level English Literature. I achieved 3 A* grades at A-Level and an A* in the AQA Level 3 Extended Project Qualification, consequently, I feel qualified to mentor study&revision skills and personal statement writing. I aim to improve students' understanding, grades and performance, as well as confidence in their academic abilities so they are successful in achieving their own personal goals!

While one-on-one tutoring cannot fully replace normal education as the primary way of learning, it is always a valuable aid for the student's academic success. I offer highly personalised tutoring in the subjects of English Literature, English Language, German language and other extracurricular skills such as: academic writing, bringing courses for university, personal statement writing and creative writing. My lessons are an open-minded mix of exam preparation techniques, lessons tailored individually to the student on the content of their course, and lessons focused on the discussion of feedback of the student's own work. In addition, I also offer bridging courses for students considering pursuing English Literature, Language, or Creative Writing at University. I am currently in the 3rd year of a German and English Literature undergraduate programme at the University of Edinburgh. You can normally catch me tutoring from the beautiful and needlessly rainy Scottish capital. In 2023/24 I am on a year-long academic exchange at the Freie Universität in Berlin

Hello, My name is Pia, and I am currently a second-year student studying Economics and Management at King’s College London. Studying Mathematics, Economics, and English Literature and an EPQ at A Level piqued my interest in dynamic current affairs. Consequently, I am interested in starting my career in Global Markets. I have recently received a Summer Internship Offer from Barclays Investment Bank and have successfully completed Spring Weeks at Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Rothschild & Co. I have also completed a summer internship at Rolls Royce in my first year of university. My desire to tutor students was catalysed by my role as chair of the Junior Debating Society at school; I was challenged to understand my students’ capabilities and implement strategies to maximise their success at regional debating competitions. I have followed this interest to university, where I successfully applied for Debate-mate, a non-profit organisation. As a mentor, I teach debating to children from underprivileged backgrounds in schools around London. As a tutor at Edumentors, not only do I aim to support students for upcoming exams. I also desire to provide a holistic approach to development, coaching students through the university application process while intensifying their enthusiasm for their chosen subjects. With over 200 bookings and nearly three years of tutoring experience, I am committed to contributing to the future success of my students. As your tutor, I will tailor your sessions to your goals, concerns and critical topics. I will provide bespoke lesson plans leveraging content-based and exam-style strategies to maximise your educational outcome. Tutoring Services A-Level: Mathematics, English Literature, Economics GCSE: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Further Mathematics, English Literature, English Language Additional Services: University application guidance, EPQ support, internship guidance Please do not hesitate to contact me with further questions or to say hello :)

Hi! I am a Masters graduate with a Distinction in Creative Writing, along with a First Class Honours degree in English Literature from Durham University. I also achieved A* in English Literature at A Level and A* in English Literature and English Language at GCSE. My lessons are generally structured around past questions from the relevant exam board. I will usually give students 5-10 minutes to read the extract and make initial notes relating to the question, before going through my own notes and how I would approach the question. This includes close analysis of key themes, literary devices and the writer's intentions, alongside a suggested essay structure which takes students through what to include paragraph by paragraph. I then give students the opportunity to begin writing a response to the question and am available to offer assistance as required. Students can then finish the question as homework and I will provide feedback in our next session - if requested, I can also provide live feedback paragraph by paragraph while you are writing. I'm currently working on the novel I wrote for my Master's degree and gathering research for my PhD next year. I'm extremely passionate about tutoring - my ambition is to become a university lecturer and published novelist. I only offer tutoring in English related topics as this is my specific area of expertise, and I want to ensure I can provide great quality, well-informed sessions. Contact me for personalised lesson plans and friendly, patient tutoring!

Hi, I’m Mehnaz! Having achieved A*AA in my A-Levels, an A* in my EPQ, and all 8s and 9s in my GCSEs, I’m now a second-year Law student at the University of Leeds. With 3 years of formal tutoring experience, I take a dynamic approach to teaching, catering to each student and their needs. I maintain an engaging, thoughtful approach to ensure the student is left feeling confident in their learning. As well as focusing on understanding the content, I can also hone in on exam and revision techniques to ensure the student is fully equipped with all the skills to succeed in their subject. These skills have not only helped my students, but personally helped me achieve top grades in my GCSEs and A-Levels: English Literature, History, Theatre Studies and an EPQ. I have a deep passion for learning and I hope to encourage this in my students! If you have any questions please get in touch. I look forward to working with you!

I graduated with a First from Oxford in 2021 for my undergraduate Spanish BA, and have just finished my MA in Religion at Kings College London for which I was awarded a scholarship. I have tutored Spanish, EFL , English Literature, Religious studies and Philosophy both online and in person for over 5 years, including working at a school as a language teaching assistant. I took 11 GCSES and did the IB diploma, so I have a wide range of other subjects I enjoy tutoring, including literature, philosophy and history. I have learning disabilities - namely ADHD and dyspraxia - and have built up study skills that accommodate specific learning disorders, and am very happy to share these with any students who might need particular accommodations.

Hi! My name is Clo, and I am studying English Literature at Churchill College, Cambridge. I love to read both academically and in my spare time - I read a huge range of literature, from the “Classics”, to ancient literature such as Homer and Virgil's epics, to modern novels. I am a writer, currently trying to find a literary agent to represent my manuscript. I am also interested in playwriting, acting, and directing - with the sponsorship of the Mark Evison Foundation, I wrote and directed my own play, staging it at Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School. I passed my A-levels at Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School (Classics, English Literature, Maths), and my GCSEs at St Michaels Catholic Grammar School. I’m bilingual! I’m born in England, but my parents are French. I've studied some French Literature in my free time. This year, I took a special exchange paper from the MML degree, studying 'Revolutions in Writing' in France from the 1700s-1900s. I’ve got many interests apart from English Literature: I’m very interested in the sciences, especially experimental physics, and I read a lot of science fiction (H.G Wells, Isaac Asimov, Aldous Huxley). I finally got to put my sci-fi interests to use, as my second year dissertation was on the topic of religion in science fiction thought-experiments. I’ve travelled extensively, and I enjoy aquainting myself with the literature of the county I visit. This summer, I am headed to Japan to teach English for five weeks, and I've started reading The Tale of Genji. I love sports (volleyball, swimming, tennis, etc) and adventure. I’m also a musician!

My name is Sabiha and I'm currently an undergraduate at Warwick University, studying Psychology! A little bit about me: I love debating - looking at structural social issues and analysing them from different perspectives helps me really understand that everyone's from a different walk in life. I write stories in my spare time, as I find it incredibly interesting when people express themselves in unique and creative manners. But most importantly, I love helping people reach their full potential and to become the best version of themselves - both as a student and as an individual. As someone who has tutored before, I decided to join the Edumentors platform to help more students reach their full academic confidence. I'm always willing to go above and beyond if students are struggling to understand concepts. I always start by identifying student strengths and weaknesses, and then have a general conversation with the student about what they believe they're really struggling on. Based on this, I make a personalised lesson schedule and sometimes even a revision schedule to help the student reach a goal which they conceptualise. The purpose of the tutoring isn't to just teach them a lesson, but teach them a level of independence that they are capable of reaching, if pushed in the right direction.

As a social sciences student at Durham University, I am uniquely equipped to combine a holistic approach and a more in-depth approach to my tutoring, depending on the individual learning style of each student. I can tutor students of a wide range of abilities, from beginner to advanced, in French and English Literature, having achieved A*s and 9’s in both subjects at A-Level and GCSE, respectively. I can also tutor English Language up to GCSE standard, having achieved grade 9 when I sat the exam. I graduated from Wycombe Abbey School in 2023, where I obtained twelve 9’s and an 8 in my GCSEs, and four A*s at A-Level. I have done a range of informal tutoring for GCSE and Common Entrance, and have also volunteered as an English Teaching Assistant in a local primary school. From my personal experience of being slightly less confident in certain subjects and from tutoring others, I found I really enjoy helping students achieve their full potential and boosting their confidence, especially in subjects that may not come naturally to them. I am conscious that everyone has their own unique learning style, so I will tailor my lesson plan to each student’s personal aims in order to make sessions engaging and interactive. I have full working proficiency in French, and can provide assistance with all aspects of the exam, including listening, reading, writing and grammar. Having completed several intensive language courses in France, one of my strengths as a French tutor lies in conversation practice - I can therefore also help with the oral exam, including the Independent Research Project, implementing complex sentence structures, presentation technique and using sophisticated vocabulary. While I can tutor for all exam specifications, I will be of particular use in AQA A-Level and AQA GCSE, as these are the exam boards I sat at school. For English Literature, I can cover a wide range of skills such as essay technique, text analysis (play, book, or poem), grammar and language. While I can tutor a wide variety of texts depending on the exam board, I can provide specialised knowledge in the following texts: Hamlet, The Great Gatsby, The Grapes of Wrath, The Duchess of Malfi, Paradise Lost, A Streetcar Named Desire, Purple Hibiscus, The Crucible, Jane Eyre, and Romeo and Juliet. I can provide support with a broad range of resources and key skills, especially with the CIE GCSE and the OCR A-Level specifications. For English Language, I can also provide useful resources and support with all aspects of the exam paper, including comprehension, grammar and the extended writing section. As I sat the CIE GCSE exam, I can provide specialised knowledge of this specification.

I'm Caitlin, a current university student studying Interdisciplinary Futures. I've been successfully tutoring for around 3 years, working with students to increase confidence and enjoyment of a subject - and therefore achievement. I attained A A A B in my A-levels, and have plenty of tips regarding exam technique and revision to share with exam students.
