Literature tutoring

Literature lessons are mostly about writing, because that is what gets marked: reading a set text closely is the easy half, and turning that reading into an argument with evidence is where marks are won and lost. Tutors work through the texts on your syllabus, poetry, drama and prose, and then through essay structure, quotation and the habit of answering the question actually asked. Close reading is practised on short extracts until noticing becomes automatic. Whether you are sitting school exams or writing university coursework, the aim is a reader who follows your argument without effort.
