Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What does a GCSE English tutor do?

A GCSE English tutor helps students improve their understanding of both English Language and English Literature in preparation for their exams. This includes support with reading comprehension, creative and analytical writing, poetry analysis, exam strategies, and revision techniques tailored to each exam board (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas).

How are the tutoring sessions delivered?

All sessions are delivered online via Zoom or Google Meet, using interactive tools to keep lessons engaging and effective. Resources and homework are provided via the Step Ahead learning portal so students can access materials anytime.

Do you offer GCSE English tuition for AQA, Edexcel,OCR and Eduqas?

Yes – As a current teacher I provide expert tuition tailored to all the major UK exam boards including AQA, Edexcel,OCR and Eduqas. Each lesson is aligned with the specific requirements and mark schemes of your child’s exam board.

Can I join a group session and still get personal feedback?

Absolutely. My small group sessions (max 6 students) ensure everyone gets personalised feedback, while benefiting from group discussion and collaborative learning. You'll also receive tailored homework and individual progress reports.

What age groups do you teach?

I specialise in teaching students from Year 7 to Year 11. If you're unsure whether it’s the right fit, you can book a free assessment to find out.
