Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive Leicester sixth form. Can a tutor really help them achieve the top GCSE English Literature grades required?

Absolutely. That’s one of the main reasons parents in Leicester come to us. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and know exactly what examiners are looking for. They can work with your child on specific skills like essay structure, textual analysis, and exam technique to help them secure the best possible grade.

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

Yes, and in many ways, it's even better. Tutors use interactive whiteboards to deconstruct texts together and collaborative documents to edit essays in real-time. Crucially, it gives your child in Leicester access to a far wider pool of specialists from across the UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby.

We’re concerned about building a strong foundation for a potential English degree at the University of Leicester. Can tutoring help with that?

Definitely. A great tutor can stretch your child beyond the curriculum, introducing them to new ideas and ways of thinking that are fantastic preparation for university-level study. They can help foster a genuine love for the subject that will make them a standout applicant.

What happens if my child doesn’t get on with their first English Literature tutor?

It’s really important that your child feels comfortable and understood, so we make this easy. If the first session with a tutor isn't the right fit, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.

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

We're incredibly selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has proven expertise in their subject, so you can be sure your child is learning from a true professional.

Can a tutor help my child connect with Leicester's own literary heritage?

Many of our tutors love to make learning relevant! They can absolutely incorporate discussions about local authors like Sue Townsend or Joe Orton into lessons, helping to bring the subject alive and show your child how literature connects with the world around them.

My child also needs help with maths. Can we find a tutor for that on Tutorful too?

Yes. We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academics like maths and science to music, languages, and even coding. You can find all the support your child needs right here.

How much does online English Literature tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £22 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can browse profiles and filter by price to find the perfect tutor for your budget.

How flexible is scheduling? Our evenings are already quite busy.

That’s a key benefit of online tutoring. You can arrange sessions for whenever suits your family, whether that's weekends, after school, or during holidays. You’re not tied to a set timetable, giving you complete flexibility.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our bespoke online classroom runs in your web browser, so there's no complex software to install.

My child finds poetry analysis particularly difficult. Can we find a specialist?

Of course. Many of our English Literature tutors have specialisms, and you can see these on their profiles. You can easily find a tutor who has a real passion for poetry and knows exactly how to make it accessible and even enjoyable for students.

How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?

It varies for every child, but progress often happens faster than you might think. The one-to-one focus means tutors can address specific issues right away. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions.
