Find Your Perfect IGCSE English Literature Tutor

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, I am currently a 4th year Oxford undergraduate studying Classics and English Literature. I have been tutoring cor about 5 years now.

Hi! I’m Brooklyn, a second-year medical student at the University of Manchester. I have over two years of tutoring experience, having worked with students taking the IGCSE in Geography, History, English Language, and English Literature. I'm a French tutor at the university, clinical lead for the trauma and orthopaedics society, and also teach at La Petite École de Manchester, where I work with children aged 6 to 8. My teaching approach emphasises on patience, encouragement, and adapting to each student’s individual learning style. Beyond academics, I’ve worked with children with autism and cerebral palsy and volunteer with Make a Smile to help bring joy to children with additional needs. I love creating supportive and engaging environments that help students feel confident and enjoy learning!

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.

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.

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 secured a 2:1 in my degree and have also secured a job at a top law firm.

I am a final-year undergraduate Philosophy and Literature student at the University of Warwick, where I have worked at a first-class standard in my previous years. 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, both fiction and non-fiction, in numerous magazines. I have written a book, 'Songs of Speech', and have been interviewed twice about my work. I have worked with magazines and journals to review and edit upcoming mass-market releases also. 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.

Want to take your learning to the next level? Work with me to help your natural skills flourish. With a first class degree in English and Drama, several years' experience in communications, and a new venture as a Master's student in Communication Strategies, I am well positioned to offer academic support in a variety of areas. At undergraduate level, I was accepted into all five universities that I applied for. I also now have experience with international university application processes. This gives me a wealth of experience to share with you while you navigate your own academic development. During my undergraduate studies, I was also selected to present my thesis research at the National Conference for Undergraduate Research. If you choose to embark on a tutoring journey with me, we will use a variety of key tools and techniques to hit your academic goals. With the space and time to discuss your questions and concerns in detail, I am confident that development and growth is always possible.

At GCSE level, I achieved grade 9s in all of my Humanities subjects, including English Language, English Literature, and History. Passionate about education, language, and the ways in which they interact in our everyday lives, I pursued the study of English Literature, History, and Psychology at A Level, alongside completing an EPQ. Achieving an A* in History and full marks in my English Literature coursework, I chose to continue my study of English at university. Throughout the past three years, I have worked formally as a tutor for both English Language GCSE and English Literature GCSE. My approach is constantly evolving and is led by the belief that enjoyment of learning is the prerequisite to success. Therefore, I always strive to identify the most effective learning style for each individual student and help to embed enjoyment of learning into the process of working towards academic aspirations. Further to my formal tutoring experience, I have led workshops for the National Literacy Trust for children from disadvantaged backgrounds regarding literacy, guided students and my peers to improving their GCSE grades beyond teacher prediction, and have coached table tennis for people of all ages (leading to the completion of an advanced DBS check and safeguarding course).

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.
