Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a top university like Durham. Can a tutor provide the specific A-Level support they need to stand out?

Absolutely. This is exactly where our tutors excel. We can connect your child with tutors who are graduates from top universities themselves. They understand the level of analytical depth and essay sophistication required and can provide targeted coaching to help your child's application shine.

Are your tutors familiar with the curriculum taught at County Durham schools?

Yes. Our tutors are experts in the national curriculum for GCSE and A-Level English Literature, covering exam boards like AQA, Edexcel, and OCR used by schools across County Durham. They can tailor sessions to the specific texts and requirements your child is working on in class.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a discussion-based subject like English Literature?

It is, and many students find it even better. Our online classroom has interactive whiteboards perfect for annotating texts together, and the focused one-to-one environment encourages deep discussion without classroom distractions. Plus, your child can learn from a specialist anywhere in the UK, right from your home in County Durham.

How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

We're very selective. In fact, we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed by a member of our team, and has proven subject expertise. We pick dedicated, passionate educators who genuinely care about helping your child succeed.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

Finding the right personality match is vital, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.

How much do online English Literature tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. You can filter tutors by price on our website to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your family's budget.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find a one-hour session per week is ideal for consistent progress, especially during term time. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent sessions leading up to exams or less frequent top-up lessons as needed. It's all agreed between you and your tutor.

What equipment does my child need for online tutoring?

It's simple. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install.

My child is studying for their GCSEs. Can you help with that too?

Of course. We have a huge number of tutors who specialise in preparing students for their GCSE English Literature exams. They can help build foundational skills, improve essay technique, and boost confidence right when it's needed most.

Can you help with other subjects, not just English?

Yes! We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. So whether your child needs support in maths or science, wants to learn a new language, or is even keen to take up coding or learning the guitar, we have expert tutors ready to help.

How do I find the right tutor for my child in County Durham?

You can use the search filters on our website to find tutors who specialise in English Literature at your child's level. You can read their profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents to find the perfect match. Then, simply send them a message to arrange a first session.

How can I trust the reviews on your platform?

Our reviews are from parents and students just like you. With over 4,100 reviews and an average rating of 4.6 stars, you can get a genuine insight into how our tutors have helped over 200,000 students build confidence and achieve their goals.
