I've taught children with SEN, EAL, behavioural problems and gifted children, across all primary stages. In the past 2 years, I have been tutoring online.Most of my teaching has been in Year 6, specialising in getting children ready for the 11+ exams (English, Maths, Verbal & Non Verbal) and SATs papers (Reading, SPaG & Maths).

Stephen M
Effective English Literature tutor
I am friendly, approachable and experience tutor in Literature, Languages and Humanities. I started tutoring soon after finishing my Joint Honours degree in English and French at Magdalen College, Oxford, but fortunately I found that my education had only just started! Therefore, I have spent over a decade now working with students - both in state and private education - in French, English Literature, Classics and History of Art. Tutoring normally from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 5, specialising in GCSEs and A levels, I would say that my lessons are usually planned collaboratively. I take the student’s l...

Charilaos V
Charilaos has a clear understanding of how specifically the AQA board for GCSE English Literature works. He provides you a structure for writing a paragraph which helps attain all the AOs naturally when writing. He also gives you feedback after writing your own essay which makes it feel very personalized. He has a very strong understanding of the texts studied in GCSE English Lit and if you are looking for a GCSE English Lit teacher I highly recommend choosing him.

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

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive course at a London university like UCL or King's. Can a tutor help their application stand out?
Yes, absolutely. This is exactly where our tutors excel. They go beyond simple grade improvement to focus on developing the sophisticated critical thinking and analytical skills that top universities look for. Tutors can help your child articulate complex ideas with clarity and nuance in their essays and coursework, which is vital for a compelling application.
With the high standards at London's grammar and independent schools, how does online tutoring add value?
We understand the pressure. Whilst school provides an excellent foundation, our one-to-one online tutoring offers something different: completely personalised attention. A tutor can focus entirely on your child's specific challenges, whether that's mastering a particular text or refining their essay technique, providing a level of tailored support that's difficult to achieve in a busy classroom.
Is online tutoring as effective for a subject like English Literature, which is so discussion-based?
It is. Our online classroom is designed for deep, interactive learning. Tutors and students can analyse texts together using screen sharing, mind-map ideas on the interactive whiteboard, and have face-to-face discussions that build a strong rapport. For a subject that thrives on dialogue, it provides the perfect focused environment.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English Literature tutor?
We know how important the right personal connection is for building confidence. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, 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 are your English Literature tutors vetted?
We're incredibly selective because we know you need the best for your child. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform. Every tutor is interviewed, has their qualifications checked, and undergoes a background check, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted, high-calibre specialist.
Can we get help with a specific A-Level or GCSE text?
Of course. That's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Whether it's coursework on 'The Handmaid's Tale' or preparing for an exam on the Romantic poets, you can find a tutor with specific expertise in the texts your child is studying to provide targeted, effective support.
How flexible are the lesson times for a busy London family?
Our tutors work around your schedule, not the other way around. You can find tutors available for sessions in the evenings, at weekends, or whenever suits your family's commitments. Because it's all online, you save on travel time too, making it much easier to fit into a packed week.
How much do online English Literature lessons cost for a student in London?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, giving you complete flexibility.
What technology does my child need to get started?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complex software to download. We've made it as easy as possible to get learning.
Can a tutor help my child with creative writing as well as literary analysis?
Many of our English Literature tutors are also passionate writers and can absolutely help nurture your child's creative talents. When you search, you can read tutor profiles to find someone whose skills align with your child's interests, whether that's poetry, short stories, or even scriptwriting.
How quickly can we find a tutor for our child in London?
You can start looking right away. Our platform allows you to message tutors directly to ask questions and check their availability. Many parents find and book the perfect tutor within 24 hours, meaning your child can get the support they need without delay.
Does Tutorful offer support in other subjects that complement English, like History or Politics?
Yes, we do. We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects. If your child is building a strong humanities profile for their university application, we can connect you with specialists in History, Politics, Philosophy, and more, all online for your child in London.
Have a great first lesson.
