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.

Alex R
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 preparing for the ELAT. Can we find an online tutor with specific experience in this?
Absolutely. This is a key reason why online tutoring is so beneficial for students in Oxford. You can connect with tutors from across the UK who have specific experience in university admissions tests, including the ELAT. They can provide targeted practice on unseen texts and help your child develop the sophisticated analytical skills required.
With such high academic standards in Oxford, how can tutoring provide an edge beyond the classroom?
We hear this from many parents in Oxford. A great online tutor acts as a mentor, working one-to-one to push your child beyond the curriculum. They can introduce more advanced critical theories, explore texts outside the syllabus, and help your child develop a unique and original analytical voice that will make their university application stand out.
Is online tutoring as effective for a discussion-based subject like English Literature?
Yes, many find it even more effective. Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard for analysing texts together, and the focused one-to-one video environment encourages in-depth discussion without classroom distractions. It creates a brilliant space for students to explore ideas and build confidence in their arguments.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English Literature tutor?
It's so important that your child feels comfortable and inspired by their tutor. We get that. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?
We're very selective because we know how much this matters. Only 1 in 8 applicants are accepted to become a Tutorful tutor. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has their qualifications verified to ensure your child is learning from a true subject expert.
My child also needs help with their university personal statement. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, many of our English Literature tutors are also fantastic mentors for university applications and can provide invaluable guidance on structuring and refining a personal statement to make it compelling and authentic.
How much do online English Literature tutors for students in Oxford cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of study (e.g., GCSE, A-Level, university admissions). You can easily filter by price on our platform to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
How flexible is the scheduling? We have a lot of other commitments.
That's the beauty of online tutoring. You can schedule sessions at times that suit your family, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays. You're not restricted by travel times, making it much easier to fit quality tuition into a packed schedule.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very straightforward. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our bespoke online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download.
Can a tutor help my child engage with Oxford's own literary history?
Definitely. Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, many are experts in authors connected to Oxford, from Lewis Carroll to Philip Pullman. They can help your child draw inspiration from their local surroundings and connect it to their wider reading and analysis in a really engaging way.
How do we find the right tutor for our child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the right area – whether that's A-Level poetry, GCSE essay skills, or ELAT preparation. You can read reviews from other parents and message tutors directly to ask questions before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.
Beyond English, what other subjects do you offer tutoring for?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! From core academic subjects like maths and science to languages, music, coding, and even professional development skills. Whatever your child wants to learn, we have an expert online tutor who can help.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
