Key Stage 4 English language & literature (per hour)

About this Course

GCSE English is one of the most important qualifications your child will sit — and one of the most demanding. These one-to-one online weekly sessions are designed to support students in Years 10 and 11 across both GCSE English Language and English Literature, helping them build the skills, knowledge and exam confidence they need to achieve the grade they are capable of. Whether your child needs to strengthen their writing, get to grips with their set texts, or develop a sharper exam technique, every session is tailored entirely to them — giving focused, expert support at exactly the right level.

Who this is for

• Students in Years 10 or 11 studying GCSE English Language and English Literature
• Learners who are struggling with one or both subjects and need structured support to get back on track
• Students who are aiming higher grades and need targeted help to get there

• Parents who want their child to go into their GCSE exams feeling prepared, confident and clear on what is expected of them
