Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is at a Birkenhead school aiming for a top sixth form. Can a tutor help them get the Grade 8 or 9 they need in GCSE English Literature?

Absolutely. This is a common goal for families we work with. Our tutors specialise in helping students move from good to outstanding. They can focus on the specific skills required for top grades, from advanced textual analysis to crafting sophisticated arguments, giving your child the best chance of securing their desired place.

We're thinking about Russell Group universities like the University of Liverpool. How can an A-Level tutor support this goal?

An A-Level English Literature tutor can be a huge asset. They provide support beyond the curriculum, helping your child develop a deeper passion for the subject, explore wider reading, and articulate their ideas at a university level. This can be invaluable when it comes to writing a compelling personal statement that stands out.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a subject like English Literature?

Yes, and in many ways, it offers more. Online sessions are incredibly focused and interactive, using digital whiteboards to analyse texts together and shared documents to edit essays in real-time. Crucially, it gives your child in Birkenhead access to a much wider pool of specialist tutors from across the UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby.

How do you vet your tutors?

We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto Tutorful. Every tutor is interviewed, has their qualifications checked, and undergoes a background check. We choose tutors who are not only subject experts but also brilliant, caring communicators.

What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?

Finding the right fit is everything. We have a first lesson guarantee, so 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. It’s that simple.

How much do online English Literature tutors cost?

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

My child has lost their confidence with poetry. How can a tutor help?

This is very common, and our tutors are brilliant at rebuilding confidence. They create a patient, encouraging environment where your child can explore poems without fear of getting it 'wrong'. They use techniques to make poetry feel accessible and exciting, rather than intimidating.

Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than English Literature?

Yes, we do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from maths and sciences to modern languages, music, and even coding. Whatever your child needs help with, we're here to support them.

How flexible are the lesson schedules?

Incredibly flexible. Because our tutors are based all over the UK, you can find sessions to fit almost any schedule – evenings, weekends, even during school holidays. You can arrange times directly with your chosen tutor to find what works for your family.

Are your tutors familiar with the AQA and Edexcel exam boards?

Yes. Most of our English Literature tutors have extensive experience with all the major exam boards, including AQA and Edexcel. You can check a tutor's specific experience on their profile or message them to ask before you book.

What equipment does my child need for an online lesson?

It's very straightforward. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install.

Can tutoring help with my child's essay writing skills specifically?

Definitely. This is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A tutor can work with your child on everything from planning and structuring an essay to refining their vocabulary and strengthening their arguments, providing instant, personalised feedback.
