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.

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 Colchester Royal Grammar's sixth form. Can a tutor help them secure the grade 8 or 9 they need in English Literature?
Absolutely. This is exactly where our tutors excel. They can work with your child to deepen their analytical skills, refine their essay technique, and master the curriculum in a way that targets those top grades. They understand what examiners are looking for and can provide the focused support needed to stand out.
Is online tutoring really as effective as having a tutor visit our home in Colchester?
Yes, and we believe it's often better. Online tutoring gives your child access to a far wider pool of specialist tutors from across the UK, including university lecturers and exam board markers. With interactive whiteboards and resource sharing, lessons are just as engaging, plus you save on travel time and gain huge flexibility.
How can an online tutor understand the specific academic pressures on students in Colchester?
Many of our tutors have experience helping students aiming for highly competitive grammar and independent school sixth forms across the country. They understand the high-stakes nature of GCSEs in this context and are skilled at building both subject knowledge and the resilience needed to perform well under pressure.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English Literature tutor?
We know that the right personal connection is crucial. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't feel the tutor is the perfect fit for any reason, 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 tutors selected?
We have a rigorous selection process and are proud to accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed, has their qualifications checked, and undergoes a background check to ensure they are of the highest standard. We look for true passion and an ability to inspire students.
My child finds Shakespeare really difficult. Can a tutor actually help with that?
Definitely. Shakespeare can feel intimidating, but our tutors are brilliant at making it accessible and even exciting. They can break down the language, explore the characters and themes in a relatable way, and help your child see the plays as brilliant stories, not just difficult texts.
How much do online English Literature lessons cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. This allows you to find an amazing, experienced tutor that also fits within your budget.
We also need help with A-Level Chemistry. Do you offer tutors for other subjects?
Yes, we do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from primary maths and 11+ preparation right through to degree-level sciences, languages, humanities, and even music and coding. You can find all the support your family needs in one place.
How many sessions will it take to see an improvement?
This varies for each student, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and attitude towards the subject within just a few lessons. For grade improvement, we recommend regular weekly sessions to build momentum and consolidate learning.
Can a tutor help with specific exam boards like AQA or Edexcel?
Of course. Many of our tutors are specialists in particular exam boards and you can filter your search to find them. They have in-depth knowledge of the syllabus, exam question styles, and marking criteria, ensuring the tuition is perfectly tailored to what your child needs to know.
What technology do we need for online lessons to work?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard and document sharing tools built-in, so there's no complex software to install.
How do we find the best English Literature tutor for our child?
You can use the filters on our site to narrow down your search by subject, level, and price. We recommend reading tutor profiles and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat to discuss your child's needs before you book a lesson.
Have a great first lesson.
