Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

With top local schools setting such a high academic bar, can an online tutor really help my child compete?

Absolutely. This is precisely where online tutoring excels. By connecting your Gillingham student with subject specialists from across the UK—including tutors with experience at top universities—we provide the focused, high-level support needed to master complex analysis and sophisticated essay writing, helping them stand shoulder-to-shoulder with any student.

How can tutoring help strengthen my child's application for competitive universities like Bristol or Exeter?

Admissions tutors at Russell Group universities look for independent, critical thought. Our tutors help students develop this by moving beyond the curriculum to explore wider literary contexts and critical theories. This deeper engagement helps them write personal statements that shine and perform with confidence in interviews, demonstrating a genuine passion for their subject.

Is online tutoring as effective as having a tutor visit our home in Gillingham?

We find it's even more effective for many families. Online tutoring offers incredible flexibility and removes geographical barriers, giving your child access to a far wider pool of expert tutors. With interactive whiteboards and resource sharing, lessons are just as engaging, and students learn from the comfort and convenience of their own home.

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

Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you both to feel comfortable. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the right person for your child.

Can a tutor help my child explore Dorset's literary heritage, like Thomas Hardy?

Yes, definitely! Many of our English Literature tutors love to make learning relevant. They can absolutely incorporate Hardy's work, exploring how Dorset's landscape and history shaped his novels, providing a fantastic, tangible connection between your child's studies and their local heritage.

How are your tutors selected?

We have a rigorous selection process. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants. Every tutor is interviewed by a member of our team, has their qualifications checked, and undergoes a background check to ensure they can provide high-quality, professional, and safe tuition.

Can we get help with the specific texts my child is studying for GCSE or A-Level?

Of course. Our tutors are experienced in a wide range of exam board specifications and set texts. You can view a tutor's profile to see their specific areas of expertise or message them beforehand to ensure they're a great match for what your child is studying.

How flexible are the lesson times?

Very flexible. Our tutors manage their own schedules, so you can arrange lessons for times that suit your family, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays. You can see a tutor's availability on their profile before you book.

Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than English Literature?

Yes, we have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects. From core subjects like Maths and the Sciences to languages, humanities, and even practical skills like coding or musical instruments, we're here to support your child's learning in any area.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All you 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 download. It's designed to be as user-friendly as possible.

How much does online English Literature tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £25 to £50, depending on their experience and level of demand. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an excellent tutor who fits your budget.

How do I find the right tutor for my child on your platform?

Our search filters make it easy. You can filter tutors by subject, level (e.g., GCSE, A-Level), price, and availability. You can also read detailed profiles and reviews from other parents to help you choose the perfect partner for your child's learning.
