About Course

OxfordAQA AS Level English Literature introduces students to dramatic tragedy and literary place through close study of set texts, examined through OxfordAQA's applied, comparative question style built for international students.

Because OxfordAQA writes exam papers specifically for international schools, adapting AQA's UK approach for a global student body, Centaurus Academy's OxfordAQA AS Level English Literature tutors specialise in this exact specification, giving you an online OxfordAQA AS Level English Literature tutor rather than a generic mix of boards, with OxfordAQA AS Level English literature tuition online built entirely around this specific syllabus.

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

Many of our OxfordAQA AS Level English Literature students are building towards competitive Humanities or Law degrees, so our tutors build genuine analytical depth, not just plot summary and quotation recall.

Because the course moves between closed-book and open-book papers, our tutors train students to work confidently both from memory and from the text itself, so no exam format catches them off guard.

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 under timed conditions, which is the skill that actually decides the final grade.
