A-Level English Language & Literature — Frequently Asked Questions

What is covered in each year of A-Level English Language & Literature?

In a typical course order the first year covers Views & Voices and Dramatic Encounters, and the second covers Voices & Attitudes and Making Connections (NEA). The papers, their weighting and how the AS relates to the full A Level differ by board, so lessons follow your board's specification. Second-year content builds on the first, which is why gaps left in the first year tend to surface later.

What does A-Level English Language & Literature cover?

Across the two years the course covers 4 units: Views & Voices, Dramatic Encounters, Voices & Attitudes and Making Connections (NEA). Unit names and grouping vary by board.

How long does A-Level English Language & Literature tutoring take?

It depends on where you are starting. Students working alongside school through the year often take one lesson a week; students revising for a resit or repairing one part of the course usually work in a shorter, more intensive block. Which suits you is agreed on the free intro call.
