Sixth Form (A Levels)
English Language

Description

The Cambridge A Level English Language examination requires students to demonstrate excellent speaking, reading, writing, and comprehension skills. Our MA/MSc/PhD qualified teachers build and polish these skills in students, enabling them to sit their exams with confidence and clarity. Students learn key grammar and punctuation rules. They also learn how to communicate their thoughts, ideas, and feelings with clarity and creativity.

We focus on building good vocabulary and enabling students to develop a personal writing style. Students are encouraged to respond critically to a range of different texts. Their communication, reading, analysis, research, and argumentative skills are strengthened significantly.

Students learn how to place text in its context, which helps them understand and respond to it better. They also learn how to express themselves more creatively and artfully, taking special care to keep readers interested from the get-go. We also teach numerous semantic, phonological, morphological, and syntactic aspects of the English language. Students understand that these are fluid, not fixed. They change with time and context.

By building and strengthening the English Language foundation, we ensure that our students perform exceptionally well in their examinations. They also outperform their peers as they pursue English Language in university. Our students secure top grades in A Levels and attend some of the most prestigious universities today, including Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Harvard, and Princeton, among others.
