• For KS3 student’s (year 7-9) sessions focus on building a curriculum for a student based on their interests and ensuring they receive the support and skills they require for when they enter their exam years later down the line. This is often built with the input of both parent and student in order to develop a curriculum that is best for the student.

• For KS4 student’s (year 10-11) sessions focus on ensuring students have a well developed knowledge of their exam material and skills. However many students begin tutoring at this stage without having received much guidance on how they are meant to analyse or evaluate literature. Many students at this stage may not feel confident with the subject and so building and improving these foundational skills and flexibility based on assessments or forgotten parts of the curriculum is also built in and accommodated for.

• For KS5 student’s (year 12-13) sessions are only available for those doing English Literature. Sessions revolve around ensuring student’s refine the skills they have learned in KS3-KS4 whilst developing their own unique voice and nuanced interpretations and how to articulate them. It is often students first time having to compare texts or have coursework that requires university level writing. The support they receive ensure they know how to express these ideas and understand what is being asked of them. Since these are exam students flexibility is once again built in for parts of the course student’s feel less confident in or unexpected deadlines and assessments.
