Top Rated GCSE English Literature Tutors

I am a current undergrad English literature student at Durham University.

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.

Hi, my name is Anya Mittal! My approach to tutoring is student-centric as I understand that each student works well with different teaching styles. I hope to work with you to help you achieve your full potential and to love the subjects you’re studying! I am a final year English Literature student at the University of Warwick where I am on track to graduate with a high 1st. This follows my studies of English Literature, Biology and Psychology at A-Level in which I achieved A-grades. I have previous experience tutoring English Literature at A-Level and GCSE level, English Language at GCSE level and English at all Key Stages. Through this experience working with students, I have been able to understand how best to work with a student and how to fit their needs to fully enhance their learning and push them to success. I have always been a passionate student and an avid reader with a strong love of English. I hope to teach others to love English as much as I do and show my students how important Language and Literature truly are in life.

I am a 3rd year biochemistry student at Imperial College London and have been tutoring as a part-time job for almost a year. I took 12 GCSEs, received A*AAA grades in my A levels (studying biology, chemistry, maths and English literature) and continue to gain experience in biology and chemistry through my degree. As such, I feel confident sharing my knowledge to help students succeed in their academic goals. I offer tutoring in Biology (GCSE and A Level), Chemistry (GCSE and A Level), Maths (GCSE) and English language and literature (GCSE), as well as support in all these subjects for KS2 and KS3. I have experience tutoring students at both GCSE and A level (3 students for GCSE, 1 for A level) and have received positive feedback on my lessons. I find tutoring extremely rewarding, and work hard to create a safe and encouraging environment for my students so they feel empowered to ask questions and get the most out of sessions. Knowing how stressful both GCSE and A level exams can be, I aim to support my students through the daunting process of revision so they can feel confident going into their exams. I have a flexible approach to lessons and respond to my students' needs, regularly asking for feedback. I also take time to produce useful and engaging slides for each lesson. A typical lesson may include a recall activity, followed by going through new content with some checkpoints along the way to check the student's understanding. If there is time at the end we typically go through past paper questions. Alternatively, we may spend the whole session going through the student's homework or past paper questions if they prefer. My sessions are 1 hour long. I conduct each session with patience and encourage the student at every stage; questions are very much encouraged!

I'm a Global Development with International Relations student at the University of Manchester, with A-levels in Geography, History, and Politics. Passionate about the humanities, I also loved English language, literature, and creative writing at GCSE. As a dedicated ballet dancer, I bring creativity, analytical thinking, and enthusiasm to tutoring.

I have 9 years of tutoring experience, including in 2 centres, First Class Learning and Hallmark Tuition. I've also worked as an interim teacher at the prestigious grammar school Wallington High School for Girls for over two years. I have a Master's degree in Contemporary Literature from King's College London and a 2:1 in BA English. These qualifications provide me with a solid academic foundation to support students effectively. The mentor/'older sister' role comes to me quite naturally, having four siblings who are of school age. I genuinely care about my students and want to see them succeed in their studies and all their personal goals and dreams.

Hi! I'm Tom and I am a First-Class Classics graduate from the University of Oxford. I have two years of tutoring experience and I look to engage students with a pragmatic approach to their course, so that they feel confident as they revise and find the checkpoints of revision rewarding. By providing an approach which focuses on helpful exam prep, I hope to guide students through their course systematically. I have tutored 4 pupils in primary school Maths and Latin, and ISEB Common entrance prep for Latin and Greek. I achieved straight 9s at iGCSE and 3A*s at A-Level/Pre-U, and therefore I feel equipped to share my techniques with other students. In addition to offering tutoring for Latin, Greek and English, I feel confident in helping students who wish to apply to Oxbridge (for humanities subjects). I have personal experience of the application process and understand what tutors look for in an interview setup. Thank you for reading my profile and please do reach out if you have any questions!
