Questions parents ask
Do you teach the current AQA A-level English Language syllabus?
Yes. Lessons follow the board’s current syllabus (Exams from June 2016). We check the specification before planning a course, and we tell you if anything changes.
How many lessons a week does my child need?
Most students do one or two 60-minute lessons a week. In the months before the exam, many add a second lesson for past-paper practice.
Can you help close to the exam?
Yes. Exam-season courses focus on timed practice, the topics that lose the most marks, and marking every paper like the real exam.
