Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Our course covers the five most commonly examined texts: Macbeth, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, and Unseen Poetry. These texts appear across AQA, Edexcel, and OCR specifications, making our sessions relevant to the vast majority of GCSE students.

Our sessions are aligned to AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. Our tutors are familiar with each board's specific mark schemes and question styles, so revision is targeted and exam-relevant from day one.

Our Macbeth revision sessions cover key themes (ambition, power, guilt), character analysis, contextual factors, and the specific essay question types that appear in the exam. Students practise timed responses and receive feedback on how to improve their grade.

Absolutely. Unseen Poetry GCSE revision is a dedicated part of our course. We teach a reliable step-by-step approach to reading, annotating, and analysing an unseen poem under timed conditions, one of the most transferable skills in the entire GCSE English Literature exam.

Unlike ongoing weekly tuition, our revision courses are intensive, exam-focused programmes delivered in a structured format over a short period. Sessions concentrate on what examiners are looking for, past paper technique, and targeted feedback - giving students a significant boost in a short time.

We keep class sizes small to ensure every student receives personalised attention from their tutor. This allows our tutors to identify individual gaps, whether that's quotation recall for A Christmas Carol, essay structure for An Inspector Calls, or analytical language and address them directly during the session.

Our A Christmas Carol GCSE revision sessions focus on Dickens' key themes, character development, and Victorian context. Students build a strong quotation bank and practise exam-style essays aligned to the mark scheme.

Our An Inspector Calls GCSE revision sessions cover Priestley's themes of responsibility and social class, character roles, and dramatic technique. Students practise the essay structure needed to reach Grade 7, 8, and 9.
