Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is facing intense competition for university places. How can a tutor help them stand out in Oxfordshire's academic environment?

We completely understand. Our tutors specialise in helping bright students move from an A to an A*. They focus on developing sophisticated analytical skills, nuanced essay writing, and a unique critical voice—qualities that make a UCAS application truly memorable for admissions tutors at elite universities. It's about giving them that competitive edge.

Are your tutors familiar with the A-Level English Literature curriculum used in Oxfordshire schools?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experts in all major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR, which are followed by state and independent schools across Oxfordshire. They can tailor sessions specifically to the texts your child is studying and the exact requirements of their exams.

Is online tutoring as effective as meeting a tutor in person?

Yes, and for many families, it's even better. Online tutoring offers incredible flexibility and removes the need for travel. More importantly, it gives your child in Oxfordshire access to a much wider pool of elite specialist tutors from across the UK, rather than being limited to whoever is local.

How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto Tutorful. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has their qualifications verified to ensure they are an expert in their subject. It's how we make sure your child is learning from the best.

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

Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. 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 much do online English Literature tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. You can browse profiles to find experienced tutors whose expertise and pricing fit your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.

My child is interested in creative writing. Do you offer tutors for that too?

Yes, we do! Beyond English Literature, we have brilliant tutors who specialise in creative writing, helping students develop their own voice, structure stories, and explore poetry. We also offer support in over 300 subjects, from maths and sciences to languages and music.

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 online classroom has all the tools needed, including an interactive whiteboard, to make lessons engaging and effective.

Can tutoring help with specific components like coursework or exam technique?

Definitely. That's one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. The tutor can focus entirely on what your child needs most, whether it's planning and drafting their coursework, mastering unseen poetry analysis, or perfecting their timing under exam conditions.

How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?

Sessions are typically one hour long, and most students have one session per week. However, this is completely flexible. You can arrange frequency and session length directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule, especially around busy revision periods.

Oxford has such a rich literary history. Can a tutor help my child connect with that?

What a great idea! Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, many are experts on authors connected with Oxfordshire, like C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, or Philip Pullman. They can certainly help your child explore this local literary heritage and use it to enrich their essays and understanding.

How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's work?

Many parents tell us they see a change in their child's confidence and attitude very quickly. Academic progress builds over time, but the personalised focus often leads to 'lightbulb moments' in the first few sessions as concepts start to click into place.
