IB English Literature tutoring — common questions
What is the difference between IB English Literature SL and HL?
IB English Literature HL covers more works than SL and requires an additional assessed component — the HL Essay (a 1,200-word literary essay submitted as coursework). HL students also face harder Paper 1 passages. Both SL and HL sit the Individual Oral and Paper 2. HL is recommended for students considering English, Law, Humanities, or social science degrees.
What texts can be chosen for IB English Literature?
IB English Literature texts are chosen from the IB Prescribed List of Authors (PLA). Schools select texts across poetry, prose, and drama from different times and places. Common choices include works by Shakespeare, Toni Morrison, Gabriel García Márquez, and Seamus Heaney. Our tutors cover the full range of commonly selected IB texts.
How is the IB Individual Oral (IO) scored?
The IO is scored out of 40 marks across four criteria: knowledge and understanding (10), analysis and evaluation (10), focus and organisation (10), and language (10). Students must demonstrate a clear global issue, textual evidence from both works, and sustained analytical argument. Our tutors run full mock IOs with detailed criterion feedback.
My child is strong at analysis but panics in exams — how can tutoring help?
Exam anxiety in English Literature almost always stems from uncertainty about what to write — not inability to analyse. Our tutors build a clear, repeatable essay structure that students can deploy confidently under timed conditions. Once students have a reliable framework, exam pressure reduces significantly because they always know their next step.
Is IB English Literature useful for students applying to UK universities?
Very much so. IB English Literature HL at grade 6 or 7 is highly valued for English, Law, Humanities, History, Politics, and Journalism at UK universities. Oxford and Cambridge both value IB English HL strongly. Our tutors have helped students achieve the HL grades needed for competitive UK university applications.
