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 university like Manchester or Liverpool. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. This is exactly where our tutors excel. They can help your child develop the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills that Russell Group universities look for. They'll focus on crafting nuanced arguments and demonstrating deep textual understanding, making their application stand out.
With the competitive grammar schools in the North West, how can tutoring help my child stand out in English Literature?
In a competitive environment, it's about depth of understanding. A one-to-one tutor can go beyond the curriculum, helping your child explore complex ideas and formulate original arguments that distinguish them from their peers. It's about building the confidence to offer a unique perspective, not just repeating class notes.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a subject like English Literature?
Yes, and in many ways, it's better. Our online classroom has interactive tools for analysing texts together in real-time. The biggest advantage for your child in the North West is the access it provides to a wider pool of specialist tutors from across the UK, ensuring they're matched with a genuine expert in the field.
My child enjoys reading but freezes when it comes to writing essays. How can a tutor help?
This is a very common challenge, and our tutors are brilliant at tackling it. They break down the essay-writing process into manageable steps, from planning a structure to crafting a powerful conclusion. They provide a supportive space to build confidence, turning that fear of the blank page into a feeling of control.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English Literature tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. If for any reason the first session isn't a perfect match, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will happily cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the right person for your child.
How do I find the right English Literature tutor for my child in the North West?
It's simple. You can use our search filters to browse UK-wide tutors who specialise in the exact area your child needs help with, whether it's Shakespeare, modern poetry, or A-Level essay skills. You can read their reviews from other parents and message them directly to ensure they're the perfect fit before booking.
Can a tutor help my child explore works by North West authors like Anthony Burgess or Jeanette Winterson?
Definitely. Many of our tutors have a passion for a wide range of literature. Finding a tutor who can connect your child's studies to the rich literary heritage of the North West is a fantastic way to make the subject more engaging and relevant to them.
We're focusing on English Literature now, but do you offer tutoring for other subjects?
We do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects. From maths and science for GCSEs and A-Levels to learning a musical instrument or a new language, we're here to support your child's learning journey, whatever their goals may be.
How much do online English Literature lessons cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone brilliant who also fits your budget.
Are your English Literature tutors qualified to teach A-Level?
Yes, many of our tutors are highly experienced in teaching up to A-Level and beyond. Many are qualified teachers, examiners, or hold degrees in English Literature. You can view each tutor's full qualifications and experience on their profile to find the perfect specialist for your child's needs.
What technology do we need for an online session?
It's very straightforward. All you need 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 complicated software to download. It's designed to be simple and easy to use.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You'll be able to see their confidence grow as they start to tackle more challenging texts and articulate their ideas more clearly. The real proof is often when they start volunteering answers in class or feeling proud of an essay they've written.
