David J
Experienced English Literature Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're hoping for a place at a competitive sixth form like Notre Dame. Can a tutor help with the step up to A-Levels?

Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can help bridge the gap between GCSE and A-Level study. They can pre-teach key A-Level texts and skills, ensuring your child starts their new courses feeling prepared, confident, and ahead of the curve.

My child is aiming for a Russell Group university like the University of Leeds. Can tutors support their application?

Definitely. Many of our English Literature tutors have experience helping students with their personal statements and preparing for university interviews. They can provide expert guidance to help your child's application stand out and showcase their passion for the subject.

How do I choose the right English Literature tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How much does an online English Literature tutor cost?

Tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.

How do you ensure tutors are safe to work with my child?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn from anywhere.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tutoring provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor's patient guidance and positive encouragement can transform how your child feels about a subject, helping them see that they are capable of succeeding.

Can a tutor help with specific texts, like Shakespeare or modern poetry?

Yes. Our English Literature tutors are experts in a wide range of set texts for GCSE and A-Level. You can find tutors who specialise in everything from Chaucer to modern poetry, ensuring your child gets the specific help they need.

What are the benefits of one-to-one tutoring over a group class?

In a one-to-one session, the lesson is completely tailored to your child's needs. The tutor can focus on the exact topics your child finds difficult, moving at their pace. This personalised attention often leads to faster progress than in a group setting.

How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?

Every child learns differently, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few weeks. Our data shows that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like guitar or coding?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have experts who can teach music, languages, coding, and a huge range of other hobbies and skills.
