Find Your Perfect IGCSE English Literature Tutor

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.

Hi I'm Esme Rose Mathialahan, and I'm a third year undergraduate at the University of York studying English Literature. I have four years tutoring experience and have worked with a range of ages and abilities. I have a high success rate, with students achieving top grades of 8 & 9. Two students this year, in particular, progressed from a working grade of a 4 to a 9 and another from a 5 to an 8 - in their GCSE Literature exam. 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. I will provide students with the opportunity to guide the focus of their sessions, so their needs are the foundation of our work together. I hope to encourager self directed study outside our lessons with mentoring in revision skills as well as content learning. 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!

I am a hard working, driven, ambitious individual. I am an Undergraduate Student studying Law at the University of Warwick, one of the top Russell Group Universities in the UK with an extremely low acceptance rate. I am particularly passionate about English and Psychology, and have two years of experience tutoring English at Triangular Learning Centre.

This includes helping with essay structure, developing strong arguments, improving clarity, and understanding exactly what examiners are looking for.

I am an undergraduate Philosophy and Literature student at the University of Warwick, where I achieved a first-class standard in my first year. I previously studied at Reading School, attaining A grades in English Literature, History, and Philosophy at A-Level. I am also a National Ethics Cup Debate Champion (2023) and have published writing in Clockwise Cat, Academy of Heart and Mind, and The Hooghly Review. Alongside my academic studies, I have delivered one-to-one tuition through Edumentors, supporting GCSE and A-Level students in achieving measurable improvements in essay performance and exam outcomes. I specialise in essay-based subjects, particularly A-Level English Literature and Philosophy, and GCSE English at Grade 7–9 level. My focus is on advanced essay construction: developing clear thesis statements, structured argumentation, precise textual analysis, and confident critical engagement. Drawing on my background in competitive debate and academic writing, I teach students how to construct sophisticated, well-supported arguments that meet top-band criteria. Sessions are rigorous, structured, and tailored to individual goals, with detailed written feedback provided to ensure consistent progress. My aim is not simply to improve grades, but to develop intellectual confidence, clarity of thought, and analytical independence. I work best with motivated students seeking to refine their writing, deepen their understanding, and push into the highest performance bands at GCSE and A-Level.

Hi, I'm Emily and I study English at the University of St Andrews. 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 studies 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 exam-style pieces of writing, guidance on the Point Evidence Analysis (PEA) structure, as well as discussions on key themes and ideas in the course materials. I also have a lot of experience of studying 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 speaking practice. I understand that every student has different needs and will cater my sessions to best suit their individual objectives. I also appreciate how stressful exams can be and am happy to offer support and advice on how to navigate the assessment period.

I am a second-year LLB Law student at the University of Warwick, predicted a First Class degree. I achieved 10 Grade 9s at GCSE and ranked 1st in my A-Level English Language cohort with a 95% score. The academic record is there. More importantly, so is the method behind it. For the past three years I have worked as a qualified Swimming Instructor, teaching 30+ children weekly across all ages and ability levels. That experience taught me something no degree can: every student needs a different explanation, and your job as a teacher is to find it. That is exactly how I approach every subject I teach. I teach English Language at GCSE and A-Level, English Literature at IGCSE, History at IGCSE, and Economics at A-Level. Across every subject, my approach is the same: mark scheme mastery, structured note-taking systems, exam technique built from real experience, and live feedback on past papers. I do not teach students to memorise. I teach them to think like an examiner. I have seen firsthand what separates students who plateau at a Grade 6 from those who break through to Grade 9. The gap is almost never intelligence. It is method, and that is exactly what I provide.

Hi! I am Kario, a student at the University of Manchester with a passion for teaching. I have been tutoring in an informal capacity, with a focus on geography, English language and literature. I enjoy helping students build their understanding and become more confident in their learning. I know all students learn differently, and as someone who learns differently myself, I am committed to creating a calm, engaging, and personalised session for all students.

I’m a friendly, supportive tutor with 3+ years of experience. My approach is to engage students’ interests and make sure they feel confident and prepared when stepping into exams. My students benefit from having a tutor that has both thorough knowledge of how IB and IGCSE exams are marked and personal experience as a former student.
