About Course

Cambridge IGCSE English Literature covers poetry, prose and drama, both unseen and set texts, examined through Cambridge's comparative, quotation-based question style.

Because Cambridge writes its own exam papers with a distinctive mix of question styles, Centaurus Academy's Cambridge IGCSE English Literature tutors specialise in this exact specification, giving you an online Cambridge IGCSE English Literature tutor rather than a generic mix of boards, with Cambridge IGCSE English literature tuition online built entirely around this specific syllabus.

Lessons combine close reading of set texts with real Cambridge past papers, so students get used to the specific command words and mark scheme style Cambridge uses at this level.

Many of our Cambridge IGCSE English Literature students are working towards specific target grades for AS Level entry, so our tutors focus lessons on genuine analytical depth, not just plot summary.

Because Cambridge's papers demand precise quotation and close textual analysis, our tutors help students build detailed knowledge of their specific set texts from the very first lesson.

Parents sometimes worry that literature tutoring means simply handing a child more reading. In practice, our sessions focus on teaching students how to argue a point clearly and quote precisely, which is the skill that actually decides the final grade.
