    English Literature focuses on the study and analysis of literary texts from a range of genres, periods, and authors. It’s designed to help students develop a deep understanding of how texts reflect human experiences, society, and history.

    In the GCSE English Literature exam, students are assessed on their ability to understand and interpret works of fiction, poetry, and drama. This includes classical and modern texts, where students will explore themes such as love, conflict, identity, and social issues.

    At NL Tutoring, we offer expert guidance in English Literature to help your child explore these texts deeply, improve their analytical skills, and write powerful essays that meet the GCSE exam criteria.
