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 at a very competitive Orpington grammar school. Can a tutor really help them stand out?
Absolutely. In a high-achieving environment, tutoring provides the individual attention that's often missing in a busy classroom. Our tutors specialise in pushing bright students further, helping them develop the sophisticated analytical skills and unique critical voice needed to elevate their work from an A to an A*, which can be crucial for competitive university applications.
How can an online tutor help with my child's application to a Russell Group university?
Many of our English Literature tutors are graduates of Russell Group universities themselves. They can provide invaluable guidance not only on achieving the required A-Level grades but also on writing a compelling personal statement that showcases a genuine passion for the subject, a key differentiator for top-tier institutions.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a discussion-heavy subject like English Literature?
Yes, many find it even more effective. Our online classroom has interactive whiteboards perfect for annotating texts together, and the focused, one-to-one video environment encourages deep conversation without distractions. Plus, it gives your child in Orpington access to the best tutors across the UK, not just whoever is local.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English Literature tutor?
Finding the right personality match is essential. We have a first-lesson guarantee for this very reason. If it doesn't feel like the right fit, 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. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has their qualifications verified. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants, ensuring your child learns from a highly qualified and trusted subject specialist.
Can a tutor help with the specific texts and exam boards my child's school in Orpington uses?
Yes. When you search, you can filter for tutors with experience in specific exam boards (like AQA, OCR, or Edexcel) and even specific texts, from Shakespeare to modern poetry. This ensures the tutoring is perfectly aligned with what your child is studying for their GCSEs or A-Levels.
My child needs help with other subjects too. Do you offer more than just English Literature?
We do! We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core academic subjects like Maths and the Sciences to languages, humanities, and even practical skills like coding or music theory. You can find expert support for all your child's needs on one platform.
How much does online English Literature tutoring cost for a student in Orpington?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., GCSE vs. A-Level). You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone brilliant who fits your budget.
We have a really busy schedule with after-school activities. How flexible is the scheduling?
Very. That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You can arrange sessions for evenings, weekends, or whenever suits your family's schedule. Because you're not limited by travel time, it's much easier to fit lessons in around other commitments.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback and work with you and your child to set clear goals. You'll see progress not just in their school work and mock results, but in their confidence. Many parents tell us the first sign is seeing their child volunteer an opinion on a text, or tackle an essay without the usual dread.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our custom-built online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.
Can a tutor help my child connect with literary figures from our area, like H.G. Wells?
That's a fantastic way to bring the subject to life! Many of our tutors love making these connections. They can help your child explore how local context might have influenced an author's work, providing a unique angle for their essays and deepening their appreciation for literature.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
