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

Brilliant English Literature tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is aiming for a top grade at GCSE to get into a competitive Derby school. Can a tutor really help?
Absolutely. This is exactly where one-to-one tutoring makes a difference. Our tutors specialise in helping students move from a grade 6 to an 8 or 9 by focusing on the specific analytical and essay-writing skills that examiners look for. They can help your child develop the sophistication in their arguments needed to stand out.
We're worried about future applications to universities like Nottingham or Loughborough. How does English Literature tutoring help?
Strong grades are vital, but top universities also look for independent, critical thinkers. Our tutors nurture this by encouraging debate and deeper analysis beyond the curriculum. This not only boosts their grade but also helps them develop the intellectual curiosity and confidence that will make their personal statements and future interviews impressive.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a subject like English Literature?
Yes, and in many ways, it's better. Our interactive online classroom has tools like a shared whiteboard, perfect for annotating texts and structuring essays together in real-time. Plus, your child can learn from the comfort of home in Derby, connecting with a subject specialist from across the UK, not just whoever is local.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
It's so important that your child feels comfortable and understood. If the first session with a tutor isn't the perfect fit, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will happily cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the right match.
How are your English Literature tutors vetted?
We're incredibly selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform. Every tutor is interviewed, has their ID and qualifications verified, and undergoes a background check. We choose passionate, experienced educators who are brilliant at teaching their subject online.
Can we get help for a specific exam board, like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes. Many of our tutors are examiners or have extensive experience with specific exam boards. You can filter your search to find a tutor who specialises in the exact curriculum and assessment criteria your child is working towards, ensuring the support is perfectly targeted.
My child is more interested in creative writing. Do you offer that?
We do! Whilst many students need support with exam texts, we have wonderful tutors who can help nurture a love for creative writing, poetry, or even journalism. Tutoring is all about your child's goals, whether they're academic or for personal passion.
How much does online English Literature tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor whose fee works for your family's budget. There are no hidden costs or contracts.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
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 is browser-based, so there's no complex software to download. It's designed to be easy and intuitive.
Can my child get help with other subjects too?
Of course. We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from maths and science to modern languages, music, and coding. If your child needs support in another area, you can easily find another fantastic tutor on our platform.
How soon can we expect to see a change in our child's confidence?
Every child is different, but many parents tell us they see a shift in attitude after just a few sessions. That moment when a complex idea finally 'clicks' can be a huge confidence booster. Consistent lessons build on that, helping them feel more prepared and capable in the classroom.
Are there any tutors who know about authors from the Midlands area?
Yes, many of our tutors have a wide range of literary knowledge. If you'd like your child to explore works by authors with connections to Derbyshire or the Midlands, like George Eliot or D.H. Lawrence, you can mention this when messaging potential tutors to find someone with that specific expertise.
