Specialist tutors for the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance GCSE English specification. Get exam-specific support — mark scheme technique, specification gaps, past paper practice.
AQA is the largest GCSE and A-Level exam board in England, used by around 50% of all state and independent schools. Its mark schemes reward structured answers and clearly-signposted reasoning, which means the style of teaching — and the tutoring — matters enormously.
AQA GCSE English Language (8700) and English Literature (8702) are sat by more students than any other spec. Tutors concentrate on the 'how' of mark allocation: language analysis in Paper 1, comparison in Paper 2, and the 19-mark descriptive/narrative writing question.
