Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is at a competitive school in Hertfordshire. Can a tutor provide that extra edge for top A-Level grades?

Absolutely. This is exactly where our tutors excel. They specialise in helping students move from a good grade to a great one by focusing on sophisticated analysis, essay structure, and critical thinking – the very skills needed to stand out in a competitive environment and impress university admissions tutors.

How can tutoring help strengthen my child's application for a Russell Group university?

A top grade is crucial, but our tutors also build the underlying skills that Russell Group universities value. They foster independent thought and analytical depth, helping your child develop a genuine passion for the subject that shines through in their personal statement and potential interviews.

Are your tutors familiar with the A-Level English Literature curriculum?

Yes, many of our tutors are A-Level specialists and some are even examiners. They have in-depth knowledge of the syllabuses from all major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR) and can provide targeted support on specific texts, coursework, and exam techniques.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a subject like English Literature?

It is. Our online classroom features interactive whiteboards for analysing texts together, and screen sharing allows for real-time collaboration on essay writing. The huge advantage is that your child in Hertfordshire can access the best possible tutor for their needs, not just someone who lives nearby.

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

Finding the right fit is everything. We want your child to feel comfortable and inspired. If the first session isn't quite right, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.

Can we find a tutor who specialises in a particular author, like Shakespeare or the Romantic poets?

Yes, you can. Our tutors list their specialisms on their profiles, so you can find someone with a real passion for the specific texts your child is studying. This expert knowledge can bring the material to life in a way that truly engages them.

How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

We're very selective. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has their qualifications verified to ensure they have the expertise and teaching skill to help your child succeed.

We live in Hertfordshire. Does this mean we can only choose tutors from the local area?

Not at all! Because all our tutoring is online, your child can connect with the best English Literature specialists from all over the UK. This gives you a much wider choice of experts than would be available locally.

How flexible is scheduling around school and other activities?

Very flexible. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and book sessions at times that suit your family's schedule, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during holidays. It's designed to fit into your life.

What technology does my child need for online lessons?

It's simple. All your child needs 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.

Do you offer tutoring for other subjects besides English?

Yes, we do. We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academics like maths and science to languages, music, coding, and even university-level support. We're here to help your child with whatever they need to learn.

How much does online English Literature tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand, so you can find an excellent, qualified tutor who fits your budget.
