Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form like Notre Dame. Can a tutor help with the specific skills needed for A-Level English Literature?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are A-Level specialists and can focus specifically on the transition from GCSE to A-Level. They help students in Leeds develop the deeper analytical skills, critical thinking, and independent research abilities required to excel at sixth form and beyond.

With the high standards at schools like Roundhay and GSAL, how can online tutoring give my child an edge?

Online tutoring provides focused, one-to-one attention that's hard to get in a busy classroom. A tutor can dedicate the entire session to strengthening your child's specific weak spots, whether it's essay structure or poetic analysis, giving them the confidence and clarity to stand out.

Can a tutor help my child explore Yorkshire's literary heritage, like the Brontës or Ted Hughes, as part of their studies?

Yes, definitely. A great tutor can make learning more engaging by connecting curriculum texts to local heritage. Exploring how the Yorkshire landscape influenced writers like the Brontës can bring their studies to life and deepen their appreciation for the subject.

Is online tutoring as effective as meeting a tutor in person?

We find it's even more effective for many families. Online tutoring offers access to a much wider pool of specialist tutors from across the UK, not just who happens to live near you in Leeds. Plus, with features like interactive whiteboards and session recordings, lessons are incredibly engaging and can be reviewed anytime.

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

Finding the right personality match is essential. We're so committed to this that 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 your first session with a new tutor.

My child loves creative writing but struggles with the analysis side. Do you offer tutoring for both?

Of course. Many of our English Literature tutors are passionate about both. They can help nurture your child's creative flair whilst also building the structured, analytical skills needed for exams, showing how the two disciplines actually support each other.

Beyond English, can you help with other subjects my child needs for their university application?

Yes, we offer expert online tutoring in over 300 subjects. Whether your child in Leeds needs support in maths, history, science, or even university entrance exam preparation, we can connect you with a specialist tutor to help them achieve their goals.

How much does online English Literature tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 an hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price on our website to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.

What technology do we need for an online tutoring session?

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 browser-based, so there's no complex software to install.

How do you ensure your English Literature tutors are experts?

We're very selective – only 1 in 8 applicants make it onto our platform. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed to verify their subject expertise and teaching ability. Many have degrees from top universities and extensive teaching experience.

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

Tutors provide regular feedback, and you'll see the progress firsthand in your child's growing confidence. They'll start to talk about texts with more enthusiasm, their school grades will improve, and you'll see them tackle homework with less hesitation.

How often should my child have a tutoring session to see improvement?

Most families find that one hour a week is ideal for consistent progress. It allows enough time to build momentum and consolidate learning without feeling overwhelming. However, the schedule is completely flexible and can be adapted to your child's needs.
