All Levels of English! KS3, GCSE, FS, A-Level English Literature
My lessons will be led by and expertly crafted to you. I bring a wealth of teaching experience from secondary schools, primary schools, university teaching and even teaching in prison; I am yet to meet a learner I cannot inspire and thrive alongside. I had a bumpy start to my educational journey, struggling with reading and writing and I had a general hatred towards education as a whole, truly believing it 'wasn't for me'. Fast forward, and I found the recipe for achieving 12 A-A* GCSE'S, 4 A-A* A-Levels and a BA and MA from the University of Cambridge. I will help you find your learning style,...

I was dubious that I would see any benefit or engagement in my son when it came to English but John has managed to reach him in a way that is accessible and enjoyable. My son attends on time, each week and appears to b positively engaged which is a breath of fresh air based on the challenges we have had with him through his whole school career.
I'm looking forward to seeing his continued growth

He provides you a structure for writing a paragraph which helps attain all the AOs naturally when writing.

Alex R
This was a general chat with Alex regarding our requurements. Went very well and we have decided to use Alex going forward. Only issue is that Alex wasn't able to add the session as a chat and so we have been charged - possibly an issue with the app which I am sure we can get resolved

Brilliant English Literature tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form in Kent. Can a tutor help with the specific English Literature grades needed?
Absolutely. This is exactly where our tutors excel. They can focus specifically on the AQA, Edexcel, or OCR curriculum your child is studying, targeting the assessment objectives needed to turn a B into an A or an A*. They provide strategic support to help your child meet the entry requirements for Kent's top sixth forms.
We're worried about standing out in applications to the University of Kent or Russell Group universities. How does tutoring help?
A top English Literature grade is a powerful signal to admissions tutors that a student can think critically and argue persuasively. Our tutors help your child develop these high-level skills, crafting essays that demonstrate sophistication and insight. This not only boosts their A-Level grade but also prepares them for university-level thinking.
Is online tutoring as effective for an essay subject like English Literature?
Yes, many find it even more effective. Tutors and students can use the interactive whiteboard to analyse texts together in real-time, share and edit essays collaboratively using screen sharing, and instantly access online resources. It’s a dynamic and focused way to improve writing and analytical skills from the comfort of home.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English Literature tutor?
We know that the right personal connection is crucial. That's why we have our 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 I find a tutor who specialises in my child's specific A-Level texts?
Our search filters make it easy. You can browse tutors and view their profiles, which detail their experience with specific texts, authors, and exam boards. Many of our tutors are A-Level examiners or subject specialists, so you can find the perfect match for your child's needs.
With Kent's rich literary history, can a tutor help my child connect with that?
What a great idea! Yes, many tutors love to bring learning to life. Whether it's exploring Chaucer's Kentish connections in *The Canterbury Tales* or Dickens's time in Rochester, a tutor can help your child weave these local details into their essays to show deeper, more original insight.
What qualifications do your English Literature tutors have?
We have a very high standard. All our tutors are background-checked, and we only accept 1 in 8 applicants. Many have degrees in English Literature from top universities, teaching qualifications, and years of experience helping students succeed in their GCSEs and A-Levels.
My child also needs support in other subjects like History or Maths. Can we find tutors for those too?
Of course. We offer expert online tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core academics like Maths, Science, and History to languages, music, and even coding. You can find all the support your child needs right here on Tutorful.
How much do online English Literature tutors for students in Kent cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, with prices typically starting from £15-£25 per hour. The price varies based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
My child struggles most with analysing unseen poetry. Can a tutor focus just on that?
Definitely. That's the beauty of one-to-one tutoring. If unseen poetry is a challenge, the tutor can dedicate entire sessions to building a method and a framework for approaching it, working through examples until your child feels confident and prepared.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's confidence and grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Grade improvement follows as the tutor helps to consistently apply new skills and knowledge. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What do we need to get started with online lessons from our home in Kent?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no complex software to install.
