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
The schools in Peterborough are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child meet these high standards?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students aiming for top grades to meet the entry requirements of academically demanding schools and sixth forms. They can focus on the specific analytical and essay-writing skills required to help your child stand out.
My child is hoping to apply to Cambridge or another Russell Group university. Can a tutor help with this?
Definitely. Our tutors can help your child develop the deep subject knowledge and critical thinking skills that top universities value. They can work on advanced textual analysis and help your child articulate complex ideas with the clarity and confidence needed for a strong application and potential interviews.
How do I choose the right English Literature tutor for my child?
It's easy to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to building their confidence.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, 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 rates, with prices starting from £15 an hour. The price is based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every tutor on our platform has been interviewed and has had their ID and qualifications checked. They have also all passed an enhanced DBS background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
My child's confidence in English Literature is low. How can a tutor help?
Low confidence is very common, and it's where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A tutor creates a safe, patient space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild that self-belief, lesson by lesson.
What specific English Literature topics can a tutor help with?
Our tutors can cover everything your child needs, from analysing poetry and understanding Shakespeare to structuring essays and preparing for specific GCSE or A-Level exams. Whatever the set text or skill, they can provide targeted support.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour a week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more sessions in the run-up to an exam or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss the best approach directly with your tutor.
How effective is online tutoring?
It's highly effective! Online lessons provide the same dedicated, one-to-one focus as in-person tutoring, but with more flexibility and access to a wider choice of top tutors from across the UK. With over 4,100 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, parents tell us it works.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something different like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.
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.
