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 aiming for Colchester Royal Grammar School. Can a tutor help them get the top GCSE grades needed?
Absolutely. Many parents in Colchester come to us with the same goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students push for those top grades of 8 and 9 in English Literature. They can focus on the specific skills needed, from advanced essay writing to deep textual analysis, to help your child's application stand out.
How can tutoring help my child get into a top Russell Group university?
Getting into a leading university requires more than just good grades; it requires strong analytical and communication skills. An English Literature tutor helps your child develop the ability to think critically and form sophisticated arguments—skills that are essential for A-Levels and for writing a compelling personal statement that impresses admissions tutors.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is so important, and we want you both to feel comfortable. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have experts for core subjects like English Literature, we believe in learning for life! You can find tutors for a huge range of skills, from learning to play the guitar or piano to getting started with coding languages like Python. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development.
How do I choose the right English Literature tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals—like mastering poetry analysis or improving essay structure—to find the perfect fit before booking.
How much does online English Literature tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you only pay for the lessons you book.
How do the online lessons actually work?
It’s very straightforward. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for analysing texts together, and a space to share documents like essays or past papers. It's a secure and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe space where your child feels comfortable asking questions they might not ask in class. Celebrating small wins and building on their strengths is a fantastic way to boost their self-belief.
How can a tutor help with GCSE exam technique?
Exam technique is crucial. A tutor can work with your child on understanding mark schemes, managing their time effectively in the exam, and structuring their answers perfectly to hit all the key assessment objectives. This targeted practice can make a huge difference to their final grade.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's concentration and your family's schedule.
We've left it a bit late. How quickly can we start?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors respond to messages within a few hours. It’s often possible to find the right person and have your first lesson booked within 24 hours, giving your child the support they need right away.
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.
