English Literature is more than just a GCSE; it's a subject that teaches your child how to think critically and communicate their ideas clearly. These are skills for life. Whether they're analysing a complex quote from 'Macbeth' or structuring a persuasive essay on a poem, they are learning how to build a strong argument. This foundation is exactly what top colleges and Russell Group universities like Southampton or Exeter look for, opening up a huge range of future opportunities for your child.

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 wants to study A-Level English Literature at Brockenhurst College. Can a tutor help them get the grades they need?
Absolutely. Many parents in the New Forest use our tutors to help their children secure the top 7-9 grades needed for competitive courses. A tutor can focus specifically on the exam board's marking criteria, helping your child sharpen their essay-writing and analytical skills to meet what examiners are looking for.
We're hoping for a place at a Russell Group university like Southampton or Exeter. Can tutoring support this goal?
Yes, it can. Strong A-Level grades are key for applications to Russell Group universities. An English Literature tutor can help your child develop the deeper critical thinking and independent learning skills that these institutions value highly, giving them a real advantage in their studies and personal statement.
How do I choose the right English Literature tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat to ensure they're the right fit.
How much does an online English Literature tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. Your child and their tutor can share files, draw diagrams, and edit essays together in real-time. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. That's why we have 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.
Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident in class?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. One-to-one tutoring provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in front of their peers. As their understanding grows, so does their confidence to contribute in class.
How can a tutor help my child with their essay writing skills?
A tutor can break down essay writing into simple, manageable steps. They can help your child with everything from planning and structuring an argument to analysing quotes effectively and refining their vocabulary. They provide instant, personalised feedback that helps your child understand exactly how to improve.
How many sessions will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly lessons to build their skills over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor, who will be happy to recommend a plan.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. We find this is the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange longer or shorter sessions with your tutor if needed.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something practical like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning to play the guitar or piano to mastering skills like coding, art, or a new language, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore their passions and develop new hobbies.
