John H
Experienced English Literature tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

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

Brilliant English Literature tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child attends a high-achieving school in Peterborough. Can a tutor really help them secure the top grades needed for competitive A-Levels?
Absolutely. Our tutors specialise in stretching bright students to achieve their highest potential. They can provide the focused, one-to-one attention needed to turn a Grade 7 into a Grade 9 by refining essay technique, deepening analytical skills, and building the confidence to tackle the most challenging questions – all crucial for securing a place on a competitive A-Level course.
We're aiming for a Russell Group university or Cambridge. How can online tutoring in English Literature support this ambition?
Top universities look for independent, critical thinkers. Our English Literature tutors, many of whom are graduates from these exact universities, excel at mentoring students in these skills. They go beyond the curriculum to foster a genuine passion for the subject and develop the sophisticated analytical abilities that make a personal statement and interview truly shine.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a subject like English Literature?
Yes, and for many students, it's even better. Our online classroom has interactive whiteboards perfect for annotating texts together, plus easy document sharing for essay feedback. The biggest advantage is that your child in Peterborough can connect with a subject specialist from anywhere in the UK, ensuring they get the absolute best-matched tutor for their needs.
How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?
We're very selective. In fact, only 1 in 8 tutors who apply make it onto Tutorful. Every tutor is interviewed by a member of our team, has their ID and qualifications checked, and must have a valid DBS certificate. We look for brilliant communicators who are experts in their field.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
It's so important that your child feels comfortable and inspired by their tutor. We have a first lesson guarantee for this reason. If it's not the right fit, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
My child's confidence in English has taken a knock. Can a tutor help with that?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us, and it's where one-to-one tutoring makes the biggest difference. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions they might not ask in class, building their understanding and self-belief week by week. Seeing their progress with a dedicated mentor is a huge confidence booster.
Can tutors help with specific exam boards like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes. Our tutors have extensive experience with all the major UK exam boards. You can filter your search on our platform to find tutors who are specialists in the specific curriculum and assessment criteria your child is working towards, ensuring every session is perfectly targeted.
How much do online English Literature lessons cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour, based on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone brilliant who fits your budget, with no hidden costs or subscriptions.
How many lessons will my child need?
It really varies. Some students need a short burst of lessons to prepare for an exam, whilst others benefit from weekly sessions throughout the school year to build skills and confidence over time. You can discuss your child's goals with your chosen tutor, and they'll help you create a plan that works for you.
My child is also interested in Creative Writing. Do you offer tutors for that?
We do! Many of our English tutors are also talented writers and offer sessions in Creative Writing, helping students find their voice and craft compelling stories and poems. We also offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from maths and science to music, coding, and languages.
Can a tutor help my child connect with the work of local poets like John Clare?
Definitely. A great tutor can bring local literary heritage to life, helping your child in Peterborough see how poets like John Clare were shaped by the landscape around them. This can make their analysis more personal and insightful, which is a fantastic way to develop a deeper appreciation for literature.
What do we need to get started with online tutoring?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our custom-built online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no software to download. It's easy, secure, and designed for learning.
