John H
Experienced English Literature tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child attends a top High Wycombe grammar school. Can a tutor provide the A/A* level challenge they need?

Absolutely. This is exactly where our specialist tutors excel. Many have experience teaching in high-achieving environments and can stretch your child beyond the A-Level curriculum. They focus on developing the sophisticated analytical skills and critical thinking required to produce standout work that top universities look for.

How can an online English Literature tutor help strengthen a UCAS application for a competitive humanities degree?

A great tutor does more than prepare for exams. They can help your child explore their literary interests more deeply, suggesting wider reading that enriches their personal statement. They also help them develop the confidence and clarity to articulate their ideas powerfully, which is invaluable for interviews.

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

Yes, and in many ways, it's better. Our online classroom has interactive whiteboards and document sharing, making text analysis collaborative and engaging. Crucially, it gives your High Wycombe student access to a much wider pool of elite tutors from across the UK, ensuring they're matched with a genuine specialist.

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

It's so important that they have a great connection. We have a first lesson guarantee – if you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

How do you ensure your English Literature tutors are high quality?

We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 applicants make it onto Tutorful. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has proven subject expertise. Many are qualified teachers, examiners, or hold advanced degrees in their subject from top universities.

Can a tutor help with the specific texts my child is studying for their A-Levels?

Of course. When you search, you can see which texts a tutor specialises in on their profile. Whether it's Shakespeare, Chaucer, or contemporary fiction, you can find an expert who knows the curriculum and the texts inside out, ready to provide targeted support for your child in High Wycombe.

We live in High Wycombe; do your tutors know about local literary connections like Benjamin Disraeli?

Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, many are brilliant at helping students weave local context into their broader understanding of literature. A tutor could certainly guide your child in exploring how figures like Disraeli connect to the wider literary and political landscape of their time, enriching their essays.

How flexible are lesson times for a busy A-Level student?

Very. Tutors set their own availability, so you can find slots that fit around school, sports, and other commitments – including evenings and weekends. Online tutoring means no travel time, making it much easier to fit into a packed schedule.

What are the typical rates for A-Level English Literature tutors?

Tutors set their own rates based on their experience and qualifications, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can filter by price when you search to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.

How will I see the progress my child is making?

You'll see it in their confidence first – in the way they talk about their texts and tackle their essays. Tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them anytime through the platform to discuss your child's development and focus areas.

My child loves writing. Do you offer support for creative writing, not just exam analysis?

Yes, many of our English tutors are also passionate writers and offer brilliant creative writing sessions. This can be a fantastic way to build confidence and a love for language beyond the curriculum. You can look for this specifically in tutor profiles.

Beyond English, can you help with other A-Levels like History or Politics?

We can! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academics to music and coding. If your child needs support in other areas to build a strong university application, we're here to help them find the right online tutor.
