Private General English Tutors

English

English can be a difficult subject to receive a good grade in due to its subjective nature. A professional English tutor that’s familiar with the demands of each exam board can demystify assessment objectives and train students how to improve their English at GCSE, IB or A level. For younger years, our professional English tutors are able to teach grammar, punctuation, genre, and comprehension in line with the UK and IB curriculum, providing students a solid foundation for future English Language and Literature exams.

How our General English tutors can help you

Our English tutors teach students of ten years and older, across the British, IB and US curriculum. During late KS2 and early KS3, tuition is geared towards improving punctuation, grammar and enjoyment of reading. As students transition towards KS4, in order to achieve top grades in GCSE or IB MYP English, focus can shift towards complex sentence structures and tone of voice, accompanied by point-evidence-explain techniques for literature. By A level and IB Diploma Programme, students should have strong foundations and can move towards deeper, more nuanced discussions of literature, language and its role in society. At this level our professional English tutors are able to help students produce robust and cohesive essays under exam conditions.
