Nadia B
Supportive English Literature tutor SEN early years
My ethos as an educator is to include all stakeholders in society and not only those whose potential is obvious to society or those who are naturally gifted; I believe no one should be left behind. I aim to perform at the highest standard in order to gain the best results. I believe teaching is about providing children with valuable opportunities in which they develop into intelligent and confident learners, who can take ownership of their learning.

Hi. My name is Muminah. I got all A*s in my A-levels and all nines in my GCSEs, except for the exemption of maths where I got an eight.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive Birmingham sixth form. Can a tutor help with the specific demands of the English Literature GCSE?

Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Birmingham come to us. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can focus specifically on building the analytical and essay-writing skills needed to secure those top grades. They can help your child feel prepared and confident in a high-stakes environment.

We're worried about getting a top A-Level grade for a Russell Group university application. How can a tutor help?

Our A-Level tutors specialise in helping students move from a good grade to a great one. They focus on the nuance required for A and A* grades, helping with advanced textual analysis, critical interpretations, and structuring sophisticated arguments that will make a university application stand out.

Is online tutoring really as effective as having someone come to our house in Birmingham?

We believe it’s even better. Online tutoring removes geography from the equation, giving your child in Birmingham access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just those who live locally. With interactive whiteboards, session recordings, and no travel time, it's a focused, convenient, and highly effective way to learn.

What if my child doesn't click with the first English Literature tutor we try?

It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. We have a first lesson guarantee, so if it isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 applicants make it onto our platform. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has proven expertise in their subject. We look for passionate educators who know how to inspire and support students.

Can a tutor help with exam technique as well as subject knowledge?

Yes, this is a key part of what they do. Our tutors help students understand mark schemes, structure their time effectively in an exam, and practise answering questions in a way that examiners are looking for. It's often the key to unlocking higher grades.

My child loves creative writing but struggles with the analysis side. Can you help with that?

Of course. Many of our English Literature tutors are also passionate writers and can help nurture creativity whilst building the structured, analytical skills required by the curriculum. They can help your child find their voice and build confidence in all aspects of English.

How much does online English Literature tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from around £20 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can easily find an experienced, five-star tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or commitments.

Are there tutors who can help my child explore literature connected to Birmingham?

Many of our tutors love to make literature relevant to a student's own life and surroundings. If you'd like to explore authors with connections to Birmingham, from J.R.R. Tolkien to Benjamin Zephaniah, you can mention this when messaging tutors to find someone who shares that interest.

What technology do we need for an online lesson?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is built into our platform, so there's no complex software to download. It's designed to be easy to use for everyone.

How often should my child have a lesson for their GCSEs?

Most families find that one hour-long session per week is ideal for consistent progress. It allows enough time to cover tricky topics and build skills without feeling overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible and you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child.

Do you offer tutoring for other subjects too?

Yes, we offer expert tutoring in over 300 subjects. From Maths and Science to languages, humanities, and even practical skills like coding or learning a musical instrument, we can help your child build confidence across their studies and hobbies.
