About Course

AS Level English Language moves well beyond GCSE, introducing linguistics: how language actually works in real contexts, rather than just reading comprehension and writing tasks.

Because AS Level is offered through AQA, Cambridge, Edexcel, and OxfordAQA, exact linguistic frameworks and essay conventions differ between boards. Centaurus Academy's AS Level English Language tutors specialise in this subject and level alone, giving you an online AS Level English tutor trained on the specific board your child follows, with AS Level English language tuition online built around that exact syllabus.

Lessons focus on the significant shift in skill required, since AS Level Language expects analysis using proper linguistic terminology rather than general comprehension.

Many of our AS Level English Language students are also preparing for the transition into A2, so our tutors build genuine linguistic understanding that carries through directly into the second year.

Because this subject rewards precise, technical language analysis, our tutors put real emphasis on linguistic terminology and how to apply it accurately under exam conditions.
