John H
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...

Charilaos V
Charilaos has a clear understanding of how specifically the AQA board for GCSE English Literature works. He provides you a structure for writing a paragraph which helps attain all the AOs naturally when writing. He also gives you feedback after writing your own essay which makes it feel very personalized. He has a very strong understanding of the texts studied in GCSE English Lit and if you are looking for a GCSE English Lit teacher I highly recommend choosing him.

This was a general chat with Alex regarding our requurements. Went very well and we have decided to use Alex going forward. Only issue is that Alex wasn't able to add the session as a chat and so we have been charged - possibly an issue with the app which I am sure we can get resolved

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
In a competitive environment like Cambridge, how can a tutor help my child's university application stand out?
This is a common concern, and it's where our tutors excel. They go beyond simple grade improvement, focusing on developing the sophisticated critical analysis and nuanced arguments that top universities, including Cambridge, look for. They can help with personal statement refinement and interview preparation, teaching your child how to articulate their literary passions in a way that demonstrates genuine intellectual curiosity.
My child attends a high-achieving college like Hills Road. How does tutoring complement their schoolwork?
We understand the pace and standards of Cambridge's top colleges. A Tutorful tutor acts as a personal academic mentor. They can consolidate challenging concepts from class, explore topics of interest beyond the curriculum, or focus intensively on specific areas of weakness. It's a fantastic way to ensure your child feels confident and prepared, rather than just keeping up.
How does online tutoring actually work? Is it effective?
It’s just like face-to-face tutoring, but more convenient! Lessons happen via video call in our interactive online classroom, which includes a whiteboard, document sharing, and more. It’s incredibly effective, and over 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Plus, it means your child in Cambridge can learn from a subject specialist based anywhere in the UK.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor, no questions asked.
How much do online English Literature tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., A-Level is different to GCSE). You can browse profiles and filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
Are your tutors qualified to teach English Literature?
Absolutely. We have a rigorous selection process, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Many of our English Literature tutors have degrees from top universities, teaching qualifications, and extensive experience in helping students excel in their exams and develop a love for the subject.
My child is struggling with confidence more than the subject itself. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is often the most important transformation we see. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. Celebrating small wins and patiently working through challenges builds their self-belief, which then shines through in their schoolwork and beyond.
How flexible are the lesson schedules?
Totally flexible. You can arrange lessons for evenings, weekends, or during school holidays – whatever works for your family's schedule. Because our tutors are UK-wide, you have a much wider choice of available times than you would with a local-only option.
Do you offer tutoring for other subjects besides English Literature?
We do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from Maths and Sciences to modern languages, music, and even coding. We're here to support your child's entire learning journey, whatever their interests or needs may be.
Can a tutor help with specific exam board requirements for A-Level or GCSE?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors are experienced with all major exam boards (AQA, OCR, Edexcel, etc.). During your initial chat, you can specify which board your child is studying with, ensuring the tutor can tailor their approach to the specific texts, question styles, and assessment objectives required.
How are tutors background checked?
Your child's safety is our highest priority. Every UK-based tutor must provide a valid DBS check (or equivalent) and provide professional and character references before their profile is set live on our platform. We verify every tutor to ensure you have complete peace of mind.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a microphone and webcam. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
