If your child is following the AQA or Eduqas English Literature course, they will be familiar with some of these texts.
Parents often ask how they can help their children with their English studies.
Conversation is one of the best ways to develop understanding. Parents don’t need to know all the terminology – simply asking “Why?” can encourage deeper thinking.
For example:
“Why do you think Shakespeare makes Macbeth do that?”
Follow up with:
“What makes you think that?”
This encourages pupils to support their ideas with evidence.

It’s the final English exam tomorrow, which means I’ll be saying farewell to my GCSE pupils.
Kids, it really has been a pleasure!
Parents, thank you for being so welcoming when I’ve come into your homes (and for plying me with coffee!).
One of the reasons I love tutoring so much is seeing the progress my pupils make week by week. Watching them grow in confidence and develop their English skills has been incredibly rewarding.
I wish you all the very best for tomorrow and for whatever comes next. ❤️
