Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a top sixth form in Hackney. Can a tutor help them secure the 7-9 grades needed in GCSE English Literature?

Yes, absolutely. We understand the intense competition for places. Our tutors are experienced in helping students bridge the gap between a good grade and a top one. They work specifically on the nuanced analytical skills and exam techniques required to impress examiners and achieve those crucial 7, 8, and 9 grades.

We're worried about A-Level English Literature for applications to competitive London universities like UCL. How can a tutor prepare my child?

Our tutors can be a huge asset here. They focus on developing the higher-level critical thinking and sophisticated essay writing skills that admissions tutors at places like UCL and King's College London look for. They can help your child engage with literary theory and craft arguments that show genuine intellectual curiosity, making their application stand out.

Are your tutors just for students who are struggling?

Not at all. We help students at every level. Many parents in Hackney come to us for a tutor to help stretch a bright child, providing the challenge and depth they might not get in a busy classroom, preparing them for the rigours of a top university course.

How does online tutoring work from our home in Hackney?

It's simple and effective. All your child needs is a laptop or tablet and an internet connection. Lessons happen via video call in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes an interactive whiteboard. It allows students in Hackney to connect with the best tutors from across the UK, without any travel.

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

It's so important that they feel comfortable. If it's not the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We'll listen to your feedback and cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

How do you check your tutors are high quality?

We have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. We interview every tutor and they are all background checked with an enhanced DBS check, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted, high-calibre professional.

Can a tutor help with the specific texts my child is studying at school?

Yes. When you search, you can filter for tutors with experience in the specific texts on your child's curriculum, whether that's Shakespeare, modern poetry, or a particular 19th-century novel. This ensures the tutoring is directly relevant to their schoolwork and exams.

How much do online English Literature lessons for a student in Hackney cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can expect to pay between £25 and £45 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget, with no hidden costs.

How flexible are the lesson times?

Very. That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. Tutors offer sessions during evenings, weekends, and school holidays, so you can easily schedule lessons around school, clubs, and family life in Hackney.

Beyond English Literature, can you help with other humanities subjects for a university application?

Absolutely. Strong humanities skills are transferable. Many of our English Literature tutors also teach History, Politics, or Philosophy. We also have specialist tutors across more than 300 subjects, from maths and science to coding and music.

How long will it be before we see a change in my child's confidence?

Every child is different, but many parents tell us they see a shift after just a few sessions. The one-to-one attention from someone who believes in them can make a huge difference, often leading to them speaking up more in class and feeling less anxious about their work.

Do we have to commit to a block of lessons?

No, there are no contracts or commitments. You can book lessons one at a time or schedule a regular slot with your chosen tutor. It's completely flexible to suit your family's needs.
