Charilaos V
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. He has a very strong understanding of the texts studied in GCSE English Lit and if you are looking for a GCSE English Lit teacher I highly recommend choosing him.

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 a competitive course at the University of Exeter. Can a tutor help with the specific demands of A-Level English Literature for a Russell Group application?
Absolutely. Many of our English Literature tutors are experienced in helping students develop the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills required for applications to top-tier universities. They can focus on building the independent critical voice and depth of textual knowledge that admissions tutors at institutions like Exeter are looking for.
How can online tutoring support a student at Exeter College or another demanding local school with their English Literature A-Level?
We understand the high expectations at schools and colleges in Exeter. Our tutors act as a personal academic mentor, reinforcing classroom learning and plugging any gaps. They can provide focused support on specific texts, coursework, or exam techniques, offering a level of individual attention that complements the excellent teaching your child already receives.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a subject like English Literature that requires deep discussion?
Yes, and in many ways, it can be even better. Our online platform uses high-quality video calls and interactive whiteboards where students and tutors can analyse texts and map out essay plans together in real-time. It fosters deep, focused conversation without the logistical hassle of travel, and gives your Exeter-based child access to a wider pool of specialist tutors from across the UK.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English Literature tutor?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we're committed to getting it right. If the first session isn't a perfect fit for any reason, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?
We're incredibly selective. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has their credentials verified. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be confident your child is learning from a true subject expert who is passionate about teaching.
Can a tutor help with the specific texts on my child's A-Level syllabus?
Yes. You can browse tutor profiles to see their areas of specialism, from Shakespeare and Romantic poetry to post-modern novels. You can find someone with direct experience teaching the exact texts your child is studying for their AQA, Edexcel, or OCR exams.
How much do online English Literature lessons for a student in Exeter cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., A-Level is more specialised than GCSE). You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
What technology do we need for an online session?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our custom-built online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.
My child really struggles with analysing poetry. Can we find a specialist for that?
Definitely. Many of our English Literature tutors have a particular passion and expertise for poetry. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specifically mention poetry analysis in their profiles, ensuring your child gets the focused help they need to build their confidence.
How flexible is the scheduling around a busy A-Level student's timetable?
Flexibility is one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. Tutors offer sessions during evenings, weekends, and school holidays, so you can easily find a time that fits around your child's studies, part-time job, or other commitments. You're not limited to a 9-to-5 schedule.
How long will it be before we see a change in my child's grades or confidence?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they notice a change in their child's confidence and attitude towards the subject within just a few sessions. We know that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, showing the real impact of dedicated, one-to-one support.
Does Tutorful offer help in other subjects, like creative writing or university entrance tests?
Yes, we do! Beyond English Literature, we have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects. This includes everything from creative writing and modern languages to maths, sciences, and even specific support for university entrance exams like the LNAT or UCAT.
