Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for the University of Oxford. Can a tutor help with the ELAT?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English Literature tutors have specific experience helping students prepare for university admissions tests, including the ELAT. They can help your child develop the advanced skills needed for comparing unseen texts and formulating a sophisticated analytical argument under pressure.

We live in Oxford, but does the tutor have to be local?

Not at all. The beauty of online tutoring is that you have access to the best tutors from across the UK. This means you can find a specialist with direct experience in university admissions or a particular area of literature, regardless of where they are based, giving your child the best possible support.

How do I choose the right English Literature tutor for my child?

Finding the perfect match is easy. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors also have short introductory videos, so you and your child can get a real sense of their personality and teaching style before you even book.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know that the right personal connection is key to successful learning. 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.

How much does an English Literature tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so there are options for every budget. You can easily filter your search by price on our website to find a brilliant tutor that works for your family.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard for analysing texts, and a space for sharing documents. It’s a secure and engaging way for your child to learn one-to-one.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

A one-to-one setting provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in class. A great tutor celebrates small wins and provides personalised, constructive feedback, helping your child see their own progress and believe in their abilities.

Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we have a rigorous selection process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other things?

While we love helping with academic subjects, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or master public speaking, we have a tutor who can help them pursue their passions.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are an hour long, which is usually perfect for covering a topic in depth without it being overwhelming. However, you can discuss your child's needs with your tutor and arrange a session length that works best for them.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can work with them to set clear goals from the start, so you can both track their progress and see their confidence and skills grow over time.

How quickly can we get started?

You can start looking for a tutor right away. Simply use the search filters to find tutors who match your needs, send them a message, and you can often have your first session booked within a day or two.
