Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a top grammar school like St. Olave's or Newstead Wood. Can a tutor help them stand out in English Literature?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students develop the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills needed to excel in a highly competitive environment. They can focus on the specific requirements to help your child achieve the A or A* grades that will make their application shine.

We're focused on getting a place at a Russell Group university. How can an English Literature tutor help with that?

English Literature is a highly-regarded subject by top universities. A tutor can help your child master the critical thinking and articulate argumentation that admissions tutors look for. They can also provide support with personal statement writing, helping your child effectively showcase their passion and understanding of the subject.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor we choose?

We want to make sure it's the perfect fit for your child. That's why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How do I choose the right English Literature tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors specialise in specific areas like GCSE exam technique or A-Level poetry. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking.

How much does an online English Literature tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.

My child is losing confidence in English Literature. Can a tutor help?

Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents seek a tutor. The one-to-one attention in a supportive environment can make a huge difference. A tutor can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and help your child feel capable and positive about the subject again.

How do online lessons work?

Our online classroom is simple to use. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard for analysing texts together, and a way to share documents like essays. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a good internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.

How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we verify their ID and qualifications. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted professional.

What should we expect from the first tutoring session?

The first session is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about what they enjoy, what they find tricky in English Literature, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed way to build a relationship and create a plan for future lessons.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most students have one lesson a week, as this consistency helps build momentum. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange lessons as often as you need, whether that's a one-off session to prepare for a mock exam or more frequent lessons in the run-up to GCSEs or A-Levels.

Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from primary level through to university, we also offer tutoring for a wide range of skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we have tutors who can help.

Is Tutorful a trusted platform?

Yes, we're proud to have helped over 200,000 students achieve their goals. We have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews, which we hope gives you confidence in the support we provide.
