| Focus | What you could work on |
|---|---|
| Reading closely | Identify a language choice and explain its effect in context. |
| Organising a response | Select evidence that serves the point you want to make. |
| Writing and reviewing | Plan for a purpose, then revise one aspect of the draft at a time. |
A possible starting task
Compare two interpretations of the same language choice. Identify the evidence for each rather than treating an inference as an unexplained rule.
Discuss communication preferences, processing time, sensory needs and how to signal changes. A predictable plan can be useful, but the right approach is individual.
Bring a recent piece of work and explain what the task felt like. The tutor can use this alongside a short discussion to agree a starting point. The plan should respond to the individual, not rely on a label.
Ask about experience at A-Level, the kinds of adjustments they have used and how they would approach your current difficulty. Reported experience does not by itself establish a specialist qualification. A free 15-minute introduction gives you time to discuss the fit.
Share your board, specification and current topics before booking. For English Literature, include the set texts. Your tutor should confirm that they can support that course and any relevant assessment options.
No. Discuss assessment arrangements with your school or exam centre. A strategy or tool used in tuition is not automatically permitted in an examination.
Agree one achievable task linked to the lesson, such as the example above. Bring back the working, including any point of confusion, so feedback can guide the next step. The amount of practice should fit the learner.
