John M
I was dubious that I would see any benefit or engagement in my son when it came to English but John has managed to reach him in a way that is accessible and enjoyable. My son attends on time, each week and appears to b positively engaged which is a breath of fresh air based on the challenges we have had with him through his whole school career.
I'm looking forward to seeing his continued growth

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for top GCSE grades for a competitive Chelmsford sixth form. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is one of the key areas where our tutors can make a real difference. They can focus specifically on exam board requirements, refine essay technique, and build the deep analytical skills needed to achieve the highest grades and stand out in a competitive environment.
Can a tutor help prepare my child for the English component of grammar school entrance exams?
Yes. Whilst we specialise in curriculum support, many of our English tutors have extensive experience with the comprehension, creative writing and verbal reasoning skills required for 11+ and other entrance exams. They can build your child's confidence and technique for these specific tests.
Is online tutoring really as effective as meeting a tutor in person?
We find it's even more effective for many families. Online lessons use interactive tools like whiteboards to make learning engaging. Crucially, it gives your child in Chelmsford access to a much wider pool of specialist tutors from across the UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby. Plus, the convenience of learning from home can't be beaten!
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English Literature tutor?
Finding the right personality fit is so important. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't feel the tutor is the right match, 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 are your English Literature tutors vetted?
We're incredibly selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply make it onto our platform. Every tutor undergoes a rigorous application process, including an interview and a background check, so you can be sure your child is learning from a true professional.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
This is at the heart of what we do. A great tutor's first job is to build a supportive relationship where your child feels safe to ask questions and make mistakes. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild that self-belief, which is often the key to unlocking better grades.
How do we find the right tutor for my child in Chelmsford?
Our platform makes it simple. You can filter tutors by subject, level (from GCSE to A-Level), and availability. You can also read detailed profiles and reviews from other parents to find the perfect match. You can then message them directly to discuss your child's specific needs before booking.
How much does online English Literature tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's rate clearly on their profile, so there are no hidden costs.
We have a very busy schedule. How flexible are the lessons?
Extremely flexible. This is a huge benefit of online tutoring. You can schedule sessions at times that suit your family, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays. You arrange times directly with your chosen tutor.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
It's very straightforward. All you need is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our custom-built online classroom runs in your web browser, so there's no complex software to install.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss progress. The real proof, however, is often seen at home – in their growing confidence, their willingness to tackle homework, and ultimately, in their school results.
Beyond English Literature, what other subjects do you offer tutoring for?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Whether your child needs help with Maths or Science for their GCSEs, wants to learn a new language, or even take up coding or a musical instrument, we have expert online tutors ready to help learners in Chelmsford.
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.
