It's the most common thing parents tell us, and it's almost never about effort. Usually, it's one of these
Plot summary instead of analysis, missing critical views, loose links to context and poor time management cost marks they could have earned.
They know the texts, but lose marks when they have to sustain an argument, compare texts or weave in context and critics.
Weak recall of key quotations, context and critical ideas makes harder A-Level essays difficult.
More tutoring hours won't solve the problem if you're working on the wrong things. That's why we start by finding out exactly what's holding your child back.
At Edmento, lessons start from £15 an hour. Across the UK, the cost of an A-Level English Literature tutor depends on the tutor's experience, the level being taught, how much exam preparation is involved and what support comes with the lessons.
1-to-1 lessons cost more than group tuition, but every minute goes on your child's gaps. You won't be asked to buy a large block of lessons before you know the tutor is right: start with the free consultation and a trial.

Grades A–A*
We raise the challenge. Unseen texts. Critical perspectives. Sophisticated, sustained arguments. Less hand-holding.
Grades C–B
We strengthen close analysis and build the essay structure the mark scheme rewards.
Grades E–D
This is where the plan matters most. We secure the texts, key quotations and context, close the biggest gaps and build steadily towards a secure C.
Let’s find what’s standing between them and the top marks
Yes, because every lesson can focus on the exact areas costing your child marks, rather than following the pace and needs of a whole class.
Spend more time on the English Literature they struggle with and less on what they already know.
Whether they’re working at an E or aiming for an A*, teaching starts from where they are now.
Apply each text to the unseen, comparative and essay questions they’ll actually face in the exam.
Spot where their essay retells the plot or their argument drifts before the same mistake happens again.
Your child can ask questions, revisit difficult concepts and get explanations until they understand.
Lessons focus on the skills and marks needed to move towards their target A-Level English Literature grade.
Yes. Online A-Level English Literature tutoring can be as effective as face-to-face when lessons are interactive. Your child's writing goes into a shared document the tutor annotates live, extracts and past papers go up on screen, and model paragraphs are built together.
At Edmento, lessons start from £15 an hour. Across the UK, A-Level English Literature tutoring costs vary with the tutor's experience, the level and how much exam preparation and support is included. We start with a free consultation and a trial lesson, with no large upfront package, so you can judge the value before committing.
It usually is when lessons target the specific reasons your child is losing marks. General revision rarely moves a grade on its own; a tutor who diagnoses gaps, sets focused practice and gives feedback on your child's own work can. The trial lesson lets you judge before committing.
Early in Year 12 is ideal, because the step up from GCSE catches many students out and gaps compound quickly. Starting in Year 13 still helps, particularly with exam technique, full past papers and the high-mark questions that decide top grades.
Once a week suits most A-Level students. Some move to twice a week before mocks or the summer exams, or while catching up on a difficult topic. We'll suggest a frequency based on your child's target grade and plans after school.
It can, though no honest tutor guarantees a result. Progress comes from fixing the specific gaps and technique problems that cost marks, practising regularly and getting feedback. We track progress and share updates, so you can see whether it's working.
By helping your child build a bank of short, flexible quotations for each text, learn them efficiently and use them in analysis rather than as decoration. Short quotes that can be analysed closely are far more useful than long ones.
By starting with a clear answer to the question and making every paragraph develop it. A tutor practises quick plans with your child and gives detailed feedback on full essays.
Understanding and analysing are different skills. Many students retell or describe instead of explaining how the writer creates meaning. With feedback on their own writing, that shift is very teachable.
Yes. Tell us your child's set texts and we'll match a tutor who knows them, so lessons cover the exact characters, themes, quotations and context your child needs.
By learning a method: read for meaning first, then look at language, structure and form, and link each point back to the question. Regular practice on unfamiliar poems makes the exam feel routine.
Yes. We ask about your child's exam board during the free assessment and match them with a tutor who knows that specification, its papers and its mark schemes. Not every tutor teaches every board, which is why we match rather than assign.
Lessons happen live, 1-to-1, over video. Your child's writing goes into a shared document the tutor annotates live, extracts and past papers go up on screen, and model paragraphs are built together. Your child needs a laptop or tablet and a quiet space; many families find it easier than travelling to lessons.
We match on subject, level, exam board, your child's needs and their personality. After the free assessment we suggest a tutor, and your child has a trial lesson so you can both judge the fit before committing.
Yes. You can receive lesson feedback and progress updates, and your Student Success Manager is available whenever you have a question or concern.
Tell your Student Success Manager and we'll find a better match. It happens occasionally, and it's easy to fix.
