A note of advice to students.

If this subject is not offered at your school, you may opt to study on your own or look for a private tutor. Should you opt for the latter, please check that the tutor is experienced in teaching Literature in English (elective) for the SPM examinations. There have been some instances when students who contacted me for additional information discovered that their teachers had been teaching the wrong texts (from a previous cycle), did not know the format of the exam, or had not taught the subject before.
