Currently in year 12 studying English and as much as I love the subject it can be overwhelming trying to figure out how to revise. This video was so helpful and I’ve literally took everything you said and made a note of it to stick by😭. Thank you so much for this video, literally saving me!!

[charlizerianne]

i’ve been struggling with writing essays the whole year and out of all of the videos i’ve watched, this has been the most helpful to me so thank you so much !!

[annetteokeke]

I feel like I manifested these video haha. I do the same A Levels that you did, currently in Year 12.
Thanks for this! ♡

[NativeEastLondoner]

I teach Edexcel A Level Literature; I think that my students will definitely benefit from this video, so I will be sending them the link. Well done!

[millymcz]

currently sat watching this the night before my a level english lit final exam. gaslighting myself into thinking that watching this is revising.

[favoura]

When you said you were an E grade student for six months in year 12 and got a B at the end that gave me hope 😂❤️

[motunrayo]

Ahhh I'm in year 11- this has come at the perfect time! I'm planning to study the exact same A-levels haha
Thank you ✨ God Bless

[sarah.phillipa]

love how organised this video is, so easy to understand

[mariajaneasbury]

I love this video so much! Starting my eng lit a-level this september and these tricks were so helpful - especially the studying characters and not themes aspect, as that always was a weak point for me!

[Spacevalentine]

thank you so much for making this, i’m about half way through year 12 and soooo overwhelmed with english lit. my biggest issue is timing in exams because i get overwhelmed then can’t plan properly and my writing doesn’t have a clear direction and it’s awful!! thank you for giving me hope that i can improve, i’m desperate to get an A* and i know i need to put more work in

[AliciaTheAdult]

I needed this so badly. It’s two weeks until my UCAS exams and I’m still getting 15 out of 25 repetitively

[finaya]

You're a lifesaver!! I will come back to this video so often

[mia-srwe]

I watched this video this time last year when I was going into year 12 and omg this was a godsend. What i loved most was that most stuff you can take and use for all your subjects and the tips really helped me. Especially the part about practicing essays, because in my AS-Levels i wrote so much, something I wouldn't have done if i didn't practice getting my ideas to paper beforehand. Thank you so much, I cant wait to carry on with your tips next year aswell!!

[reigen]

I’ve been struggling with this subject recently so thank you!!

[emilyccherry]

you're a lifesaver! i am in need of these tips for english lit and biology as im going into year 13 now soon! we also study all the same content except a handmaid's tale :)

[sabeehaahmed]

AHH thank you so much!! You answered all my questions and made me feel much more assured in picking English lit for A-Level. You officially have a new subscriber :)

[jesssmith]

Girl this is so hopeful, literally studying all the same for prose, poetry and drama, got my a-levels in 4 months too 😬

[soniaedet]

GURL UR ACC A GOD SEND! This video was so incredibly helpful so thank you so so much!!

[CHANELLEPLAYS]
