Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a top London university like KCL or UCL. Can a tutor help with that level of application?

Absolutely. Many of our English Literature tutors are graduates from Russell Group universities themselves and have experience helping students prepare applications for competitive humanities courses. They focus on developing the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills that admissions tutors at institutions like KCL and UCL are looking for.

We live in Greenwich and are concerned about the jump to A-Level English Literature. How can a tutor help?

This is a very common concern, and it's where one-to-one support makes a huge difference. A tutor can bridge the gap between GCSE and A-Level by focusing on advanced critical theory, deeper textual analysis, and the independent thinking required for top marks. For your child in Greenwich, it means getting tailored support to navigate this challenging transition confidently.

How effective is online tutoring for a subject like English Literature that's so discussion-based?

It's incredibly effective. Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard, screen sharing for analysing texts together, and high-quality video, creating a focused, conversational environment. Many students find it easier to share ideas without the pressure of a physical classroom. Plus, it gives your Greenwich-based child access to the best tutors across the entire UK.

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

Finding the right personality match is key, 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. It's really important to us that your child feels comfortable and supported.

Are your tutors qualified to teach A-Level English Literature?

Yes. We have a rigorous selection process, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Tutors teaching A-Level English Literature typically have degrees in the subject from top universities, extensive teaching or tutoring experience, and a deep understanding of the current exam board specifications.

How do we find the right tutor for my child from the thousands available?

Our search filters make it easy. You can filter by subject, level (e.g., A-Level), price, and availability. You can also read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and see reviews from other parents. This helps you find someone with the right expertise and approach for your child.

How will I know if my child is actually making progress?

Tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress, highlighting areas of improvement and next steps. The most important feedback, though, often comes from your child – when they tell you they finally understand a difficult concept or feel more confident writing their essays.

How much does online English Literature tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Our tutors set their own hourly rates, starting from £20 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

My child is also interested in creative writing. Do you offer tutors for that as well?

We do! Many of our English tutors are also published writers or have expertise in creative writing. Tutoring can be a fantastic way to nurture their passion, whether it's for poetry, short stories, or just developing their own creative voice alongside their academic studies.

What technology do we need for online lessons to work smoothly?

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 software to download. It's designed to be as straightforward and user-friendly as possible.

How often should my child have a tutoring session for A-Levels?

Most A-Level students find a weekly one-hour session is ideal. This allows for consistent progress, time to work on feedback between lessons, and the ability to prepare for exams without feeling overwhelmed. However, it's completely flexible and can be adapted to your child's needs.

Can tutoring help my child develop a genuine love for reading, not just pass exams?

We truly believe so. The right tutor can reignite a student's curiosity by connecting texts to their interests and showing them the power of stories. By building their confidence and removing the anxiety around analysis, they often rediscover the joy of reading for its own sake.
