Example of Tutor subject reference 1 English Student

**** is a popular and forthright student who has developed a range of academic and interpersonal skills to meet the demands of A-Level study. He is an able and intelligent student who has progresses significantly during his time in Post-16, particularly in English Literature – his favoured subject. We believe he has the academic skills and knowledge, and the correct attitude to learning and independent study to be successful at undergraduate level and we warmly recommend him to you.

**** is an able and hard-working student who shows great enthusiasm for English Literature. His written work is both perceptive and analytical, indicating a clear aptitude for the subject, and drawing out interesting and sustained explorations of theme, character and language. He has become very intuitive with text and has developed a more confident approach when discussing contextual factors and issues that affect the production and reception of meaning. He is well-read, both within the set syllabus and outside the set curriculum, and is developing the ability to bring in these intertextual references to his assessed responses. **** works well both in both team and independent work. His oral contributions in class are excellent, demonstrating the ability to synthesise and combine ideas from a range of different critical positions and perspectives and he always meets deadlines, demonstrating his ability to work under pressure and to manage his time appropriately.

**** is able to analyse a range of media texts for meaning and purpose, appreciating the multiplicity of meaning in the texts studied in class and increasingly developing his ability to draw out effective contrasts and comparisons through genre and context. He can apply his understanding of critical approaches to film language in his practical creative work. He has been fully involved with two successful video productions, developing a range of practical and creative skills (including video editing and sound design) and he can also express himself clearly through his written work, using technical terminology and theoretical ideas to support his analysis. **** is a cooperative student who makes good use of feedback to achieve aims, responding well to oral and written guidance to improve his outcomes. He has been able to meet a final deadline consistently and can work independently with minimal support. He is able to contribute his opinions and ideas confidently and has engaged well with the course. 

**** works well in class and at home.  He is dedicated and committed and throughout the time I have known him he has approached Psychology with an enthusiasm that is rewarding to see, an attitude that has helped his progress. **** has made fantastic progress in psychology and got a very respectable set of results last summer, a performance we fully expect him to replicate this year.  He works well as an individual and also when he is asked to be part of a group.  He is always the first to ask questions if he is unsure about something, and has demonstrated academic curiosity throughout the course. 

**** will make a fantastic undergraduate student.  He is bright, engaged and able and has shown consistent dedication and initiative during his time as a post-16 student. I highly recommend **** for a higher education course in English Literature; he has already demonstrated the potential to do well in this subject and this, coupled with his enthusiasm and genuine academic ability in the subject, make him an ideal candidate.
