How do you start?

Request a free intro call: it is a conversation about your goals and timeline, not a lesson or a test. On the free intro call we look at your current A Level level and your goals — a recent score report or a piece of marked work helps — and the study plan is built from there, before you pay for anything. The intro call is a conversation, not a lesson or a test.

A-Level English Language — Frequently Asked Questions

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

In a typical course order the first year covers Language and Context and Language Change, and the second covers Language Investigation and Original Writing (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 cover?

Across the two years the course covers 4 units: Language and Context, Language Change, Language Investigation and Original Writing (NEA). Unit names and grouping vary by board.

How long does A-Level English Language 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.
