Tutor recommendations for English Lit GCSE - West Mids or online

[BloominNora]

Looking for recommendations for an English Literature Tutor. We had my Y11 daughters parents evening last night and there are some real issues with the standard of English teaching so we are really going to need a tutor to supplement what the school are doing to help her to achieve her potential

We are near the Wolverhampton / Shropshire border and would like to look at both in person and online.

I've got a couple of meetings set up with tutors from My Tutor, but any other recommendations or recommendations for in person would be great. Thanks 😊

Finding a reliable English Literature tutor can make a significant difference, especially when there are concerns about the current teaching standards. Fortunately, Leicester has a vibrant educational community, and you're likely to find a tutor who can provide the tailored assistance your daughter needs. Consider looking into local tutoring services or platforms that connect students with experienced tutors in Leicester. One option worth exploring is Tuition Leicester. They have a reputation for quality tutoring, and many parents and students in the area have found their services beneficial. Before making a decision, it might be a good idea to discuss your daughter's specific needs with potential tutors. A personalized approach can address the issues highlighted during the parents' evening and help her excel in English literature.

Ok, things you need to know:

1. There are several exam boards for English Literature - AQA, Eduqas, Edexcel and OCR. You will need a tutor who is familiar with that board.
2. There are several book/play choices for each board. You will need a tutor who has preferably taught each book before (I say preferably because some book choices are quite unusual so this will be a bigger ask for Hobson's Choice than it will be for An Inspector Calls). Your daughter will be studying 3 books/plays and a poetry anthology. The most common book/play choices for schools are Macbeth, A Christmas Carol and An Inspector Calls.
3. A lot of tutors will be fully booked/almost fully booked so your daughter may well have to take a slot that's a bit awkward. Talk to her about times she can realistically do.

Let me know if you want to know anything else.
