Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a top London university like UCL or Queen Mary. Can a tutor help with this?

Absolutely. Many of our English Literature tutors are experienced in helping students develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve A or A* grades. They can provide targeted support that aligns with the expectations of Russell Group universities, helping your child build a strong application.

We're in East London and worried about the competition for sixth forms. Can a tutor help my child prepare for the step up to A-Levels?

Yes, this is a very common reason parents in East London seek support. A tutor can work with your child to bridge the gap between GCSE and A-Level, introducing them to the higher level of critical thinking and independent study required. This preparation can give them a real confidence boost and a head start for Year 12.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. 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.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer a wide range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find experienced and inspiring tutors on our platform.

How do I choose the right English Literature tutor for my child?

You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals. This helps you get a feel for their approach and find the best fit for your family.

How much does an English Literature tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on their profiles, so there are no hidden costs.

How do online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.

How often should my child have a lesson?

It's completely up to you and depends on your child's needs. Many families find a one-hour lesson each week works well, but you can arrange a schedule that fits your goals and your diary directly with your chosen tutor.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating their progress, tutors help your child feel more capable and confident in their own abilities.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform must pass an ID check and have an up-to-date DBS background check before they can start teaching.

What qualifications do your tutors have?

Our tutors come from a range of professional backgrounds, including qualified teachers, university lecturers, and subject matter experts with degrees in English Literature. You can see all of their qualifications and experience listed on their individual profiles.

Can a tutor help with the specific texts my child is studying for their A-Levels?

Yes, absolutely. You can search for tutors who have specific experience with the texts on your child's syllabus. When you message a tutor, it's a great idea to mention the books or plays they need help with to ensure it's a perfect match.
