Alex R
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
My child is applying to competitive universities like Cambridge. Can a tutor help them stand out?
Absolutely. Our tutors can help your child develop the sophisticated analytical skills that top universities look for. They work on moving beyond the curriculum to foster a unique critical voice, helping your child articulate complex ideas with confidence in their personal statement and potential interviews.
With the high standards set by colleges like Hills Road, how can a tutor ensure my child excels?
A one-to-one tutor can provide focused support that complements the excellent teaching at school. By identifying specific areas for improvement, whether it's essay technique or analysing a particular author, a tutor can give your child the dedicated attention needed to turn a good grade into an exceptional one.
How do I choose the right English Literature tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match on Tutorful. You can filter tutors by their experience and specialisms. Every tutor has a detailed profile with a bio, student reviews, and an introductory video, so you can get a real sense of their personality and teaching style before you even book.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have our first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an English Literature tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. There are no hidden fees, so you can easily find an expert tutor who fits your budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in class. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning blocks and build real self-belief in their own ideas.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing. A tutor might work with your child to deconstruct a poem, plan an essay structure, or analyse key quotes together, all tailored to what your child needs most at that moment.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can teach on our platform.
My child finds Shakespeare really difficult. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. Many students find Shakespeare's language challenging. A tutor can break down the texts, explore the historical context, and use modern examples to make the plays accessible and even enjoyable for your child.
Is tutoring just for school subjects?
Not at all! While we support thousands of students with academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, our tutors also offer a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, master coding in Python, or learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for it here.
How long will it take for my child to see results?
Every child learns differently, but the personalised nature of one-to-one tutoring means progress can often be seen quickly. Many parents tell us they notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding even after the first few sessions.
Our family schedule is very busy. Is online tutoring flexible?
Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits. You're not limited by location, so you can find the perfect tutor from anywhere in the UK. This makes it much easier to schedule lessons at times that fit around your child's school commitments and your family's routine.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.

your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
