What's Included in Every Session
Every session with Literally English is designed around your goals and your way of learning - because no one understands your needs better than you do.
Initial Free Consultation
Before you commit, we’ll have a 15-minute online chat to get to know each other, explore your goals, and make sure you feel comfortable with the way I teach. It’s a chance for you to ask questions and see how I can support you.
Subject Expertise
You’ll get guidance grounded in a strong academic background in English Literature, Language, and related humanities, so we can explore texts, ideas, and concepts with confidence and clarity.
Tailored 1-1 Tuition

Essay Skills and Exam Practice
We’ll work with real questions and mark schemes so you learn how to excel - not just what to write. Expect clear feedback and strategies that build confidence for every assessment.
Online Convenience
Sessions are held online using interactive tools (virtual whiteboards, shared documents, instant comments) - so learning stays engaging and effective from wherever you are.

After each session, you’ll receive clear feedback you can act on (and for younger learners, summaries can be shared with parents so everyone stays connected to progress).
