Creative English Literature tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior).

Experienced English Literature tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive course at a university like Manchester. Can an online tutor really help with that level of A-Level English Literature?

Absolutely. That's exactly where our tutors excel. Many are specialists in preparing students for top universities. They focus on developing the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills that admissions tutors look for, helping your child’s UCAS application truly stand out.

With the high standards set by schools in Bolton, we're worried about the jump to A-Level. How can you find a tutor who understands this pressure?

We completely understand. When you search, you can see each tutor's experience and specialisms. Many have helped students from high-achieving schools navigate this exact transition. You can message them beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs and the academic environment in Bolton, ensuring you find the perfect match.

How does an online English Literature lesson actually work?

It’s simple and effective. Your child and their tutor meet on a video call with an interactive whiteboard. They can share texts, analyse passages together in real-time, work on essay plans, and give instant feedback. It’s all the focus of one-to-one tuition, with the added convenience of learning from your home in Bolton.

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

It's so important that they feel comfortable. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If it's not the right fit, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor. We want to make sure you find the perfect match.

My other child is interested in creative writing, not just academic English. Do you offer that?

Yes, we do! Our platform has tutors for over 300 subjects, including creative skills like creative writing, music production, and even coding. It's not just about exams; it's about helping every child explore their passions.

How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team to ensure they have the expertise and passion to help your child thrive. It's why over 4,100 people have given us a 4.6-star rating.

How much do online English Literature tutors for students in Bolton cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can easily filter tutors by price when you search to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees – you just pay for the lessons you book.

Do we have to commit to a certain number of lessons?

Not at all. You're in complete control. You can book lessons week-by-week or book a block if you prefer. It's designed to be flexible and fit around your family's needs and your child's learning goals.

My child's confidence in English has really dropped. Can a tutor help with more than just grades?

This is at the heart of what we do. A great tutor builds confidence first. By creating a supportive space where your child can ask questions without fear and celebrate small wins, they rediscover their belief in themselves. The better grades are often a brilliant result of that newfound confidence.

How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?

You can get started very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson booked for this week. The whole process is designed to be simple and fast.

Are there tutors who can connect literature to the North's heritage, to make it more relatable for my child in Bolton?

Many of our tutors are skilled at making texts relevant to a student's own experience. Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, you can certainly find specialists in Northern writers or social history in literature who can bring texts to life by connecting them to the world your child sees around them.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very straightforward. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our platform is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install.
