GCSE English literature revision course

Our GCSE English literature revision course helps you improve your English literature skills, so you get the best results in your GCSE English literature exam.

GCSE English literature: revision course

Over our three day English literature revision course you will take part in a range of activities, which will range from tutor-led activities to student-led work.  For instance:

·        Brushing up on poetry from different cultures

·        Improving your reading of non-fiction texts

·        Working on your writing skills to argue or explain points

Our tutors continuously check that students are concentrating, have understood and are ready to move on. In general, most students are happy to revisit areas to reinforce their understanding – although if there are large differences in the level of understanding in a group then alternative activities can always be negotiated.

A typical GCSE English literature revision session

·         Two-hour duration

·         List of topics and activities on the board

·         Discussion about preferred learning styles – e.g. groups, pairs or individuals

• Topics divided to fit the time available

If the whole group is with the same exam board then the group may follow a single past paper. If not, students may split into smaller groups or work individually.

Because we tailor each course to fit the needs of the students on that course, there is no ‘standard’ lesson plan. The information on this page is intended as a guide only.
