Stephen M
Effective English Literature tutor
I am friendly, approachable and experience tutor in Literature, Languages and Humanities. I started tutoring soon after finishing my Joint Honours degree in English and French at Magdalen College, Oxford, but fortunately I found that my education had only just started! Therefore, I have spent over a decade now working with students - both in state and private education - in French, English Literature, Classics and History of Art. Tutoring normally from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 5, specialising in GCSEs and A levels, I would say that my lessons are usually planned collaboratively. I take the student’s l...

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
My child is aiming for a top London university like UCL. Can a tutor really help them stand out in English Literature?
Absolutely. University admissions tutors are looking for more than just good grades; they want to see sophisticated critical thinking. Our tutors work with students to develop nuanced analytical skills and persuasive essay writing techniques that go beyond the A-Level syllabus, helping them demonstrate the intellectual curiosity that top universities value.
We're worried my child's essay writing isn't strong enough for the A* grade needed in central-london's competitive schools. How does a tutor tackle this?
This is a very common concern, and it's exactly where a partnership with a tutor makes a difference. They'll work collaboratively with your child, breaking down essay structure, improving vocabulary, and strengthening their arguments. It's a step-by-step process to build the clarity and depth required to achieve the highest grades.
Is online tutoring as effective as finding someone to come to our home in central-london?
We believe it’s even more effective. Online tutoring gives your child access to the very best English Literature specialists from across the UK, not just those who live within travelling distance. This means you can find a true expert in their specific exam board or text. Plus, the convenience of learning from home saves valuable time and reduces stress for the whole family.
What happens if we don't click with the first English Literature tutor we try?
Finding the right fit is everything. We want your child to feel supported and understood. If the first session with a tutor isn't quite right, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do you ensure your tutors are genuine experts?
We have a rigorous selection process and accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. All our tutors are background-checked and interviewed to assess their subject knowledge, teaching ability, and passion for helping students. Many are qualified teachers, examiners, or hold degrees from top UK universities.
My child is interested in creative writing, not just academic essays. Do you offer that?
Yes, many of our English tutors are also passionate writers and can provide wonderful mentoring in creative writing, from poetry to short stories. It's a fantastic way to build a love for language alongside their academic studies. You can check each tutor's profile for their specific skills.
Can an online tutor help my child connect with London's rich literary history?
Definitely. A great tutor can bring your child's studies to life by connecting the texts they're reading to London's incredible literary heritage—whether that's discussing Dickens's portrayal of the city whilst they study 'Great Expectations' or exploring the modernist ideas of the Bloomsbury Group.
How much does online English Literature tutoring cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an excellent tutor who fits within your budget, with prices starting from around £20 per hour.
How often should my child have a session to prepare for their GCSEs or A-Levels?
Most families find that a one-hour session per week is ideal. This provides consistency and allows the tutor to build momentum with your child, covering topics in depth and practising exam technique without it feeling overwhelming. You can always adjust the frequency with your tutor as exams get closer.
How will we know if the tutoring is making a real difference?
Progress is a partnership. Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development, highlighting areas of improvement and next steps. Most importantly, you'll see it in your child's growing confidence, their willingness to tackle homework, and the quality of their classwork and test results.
Can we find a tutor who specialises in the specific texts my child's school is studying?
Yes, that's a huge benefit of our UK-wide network. You can use the search filters to find tutors who have specific experience with the texts, poets, or playwrights on your child's curriculum, ensuring they get truly expert guidance.
It's not just about grades, my child's confidence has taken a knock. Can a tutor help?
This is at the heart of what we do. A one-to-one tutor is a mentor who provides a safe space for a student to ask questions and make mistakes without fear of judgement. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first step towards achieving better academic results. It's a transformation we're proud to see every day.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
