A-Level English Tutoring

Why is A-Level English so difficult?

English may well be your child’s first language, but long essays and challenging textual comparison make A-Level English a difficult course. Nonetheless, it is one that can be tamed with sufficient A-Level English tutoring. The variety of texts that a student is expected to analyse is part of what makes the A-Level so challenging, from Othello to A Streetcar Named Desire. Indeed, when analysing texts like Othello, candidates often feel alienated by the unfamiliar nature of the language and need private A-Level English tuition.

Similarly, students also struggle with A-Level English poetry analysis as it is a step-up from previous curricula, with poets like Keats and Donne. This is why BartyED is here, to provide expert A-Level English tutoring that is a cut above the rest. 

Why is BartyED’s English A-Level tuition such a step up? 

Regardless of your child’s needs, our A-Level English tutors are ready to teach in-person at our centre or online. Our flexibility and experience means that our candidates can focus on learning and our tutors can focus on building the analytical skill-set needed for the rigour of the A-Level English exam. Even effective analysis of the most difficult texts is made straightforward with BartyED.

• BartyED’s English A-Level tutors, most of whom studied in the UK, are highly-qualified, native English speakers. They use the best course materials to immerse the candidates in the target language irrespective of the syllabus. Our candidates can rest assured; we rigorously test our own A-Level English tutors as well as provide training that ensures our English tuition is second-to-none.

• BartyED’s A-Level English tuition targets the candidate’s understanding and analysis of specific literary techniques such as rhythm, rhyme scheme, diction/connotation, metaphor, imagery, and irony. This enables a deeper analysis of texts like Shakespeare’s tragedies. An in-depth evaluation of various forms of poetry and prose is non-negotiable in ensuring the candidate surpasses their targets for their A-Level English exam.

Our results are indeed indisputable. Frequent top grades mean that BartyED tutors can confidently and proudly assert their skills. Many students use their newfound language ability to study classical literature and law at higher education in universities; some of our recent students have received straight A* grades and matriculated to Oxford and Cambridge.

BartyED’s A-Level English tutors are well-equipped to deal with all students, whether neurotypical or neurodiverse, in-person and online. It is this that we believe enables our students to meet their goals and get the grade that reflects their diligence.
