My son had two two hour sessions with Janet before his Cambridge Pre-U exam (similar to A Level) for his English Literature Prose paper. These were, for practical purposes, done on the telephone, but they actually worked very well. Janet sent him some passages to look at beforehand as preparation and as a way into the discussion. Her knowledge of the subject was very impressive and she was able to extend and guide the discussion in many directions. She was able to help him identify major themes, symbols and use of language, and provide some ideas as to how to use these in the exam. She also suggested some reading related to the text which would improve his understanding and help him put it in a wider context. He did very well in the exam and I believe (because he told me) that the two sessions with Janet gave him much more confidence to approach what he had beforehand been finding a quite a difficult topic. Janet is very professional, but also has a very friendly and approachable manner and this certainly made it enjoyable for him looking at the texts and in increasing his confidence. I would have no doubt in recommending Dr Lewison for any student wanting to consolidate their knowledge at this level.
