Give each paragraph a job
Begin with a position
Write a claim that answers the question. It should offer an interpretation, not simply announce a theme.
Stay close to the writing
Choose a short detail and explore how it works. Connect word choice, form or structure to the argument you are developing.
Make comparison meaningful
Explain what the connection reveals. Two texts mentioning the same theme is a starting point, not the finished comparison.
Bring your actual text list
Schools select different options and texts. Confirm your course code and the specification for your exam series. A tutor who knows one AQA route may not teach every option on the other.
Frequently asked questions
Can a tutor help with unseen poetry?
You can practise a repeatable reading process: establish the situation, notice shifts, select a pattern and test an interpretation against the whole poem. Discuss which unseen tasks your course includes.
Can tutoring support the NEA?
A tutor can develop general skills such as close reading, referencing and planning within your centre’s rules. Assessed work must remain your own. They should not write or rewrite your submission.
Do I need to read everything again before starting?
No. Bring your text list and one essay or passage. Use a free 15-minute introduction to explain where you feel stuck and agree a manageable starting point.
