Practise the question being asked
The reading extracts are unseen. A useful lesson might take one short passage and explore how a particular word changes its mood, then develop that observation into a paragraph. AQA has updated question wording and some task formats from 2026, so the tutor should use current guidance rather than relying entirely on older paper routines.
Reading and writing can support each other
Read closely
Select a short, relevant quotation and explain its effect in the passage. Avoid collecting techniques without explaining why they matter.
Shape a viewpoint
Decide what a reader should think or feel. Organise examples and paragraph order around that purpose.
Edit deliberately
Check whether sentences are clear and varied. Improve one aspect of a draft at a time instead of rewriting everything without a focus.
Frequently asked questions
Does my child need to memorise set texts?
English Language assesses unseen reading and writing rather than a set Literature text list. Regular reading and focused practice are more relevant than memorising a fixed essay.
Can tuition help a reluctant writer?
Ask how the tutor moves from discussion to planning and then writing. Starting with a short response can help reveal what is getting in the way without making the task feel overwhelming.
What should we discuss first?
Use the free 15-minute introduction to explain your child’s goals, teacher feedback and confidence with each paper. Ask the tutor how they would make progress visible.
