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 aiming for a grammar school like Devonport High or Plymouth High for Girls. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience with 11+ and school entrance exams. They can help your child build the core English comprehension and creative writing skills needed, while also working on exam technique and confidence to help them perform their best.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Plymouth or Exeter. Can a tutor support A-Level and UCAS applications?
Yes. Our English Literature tutors can provide fantastic support for A-Level students, helping them master complex texts and refine their essay writing. Many also have experience guiding students through the UCAS process, including helping them structure a compelling personal statement that showcases their passion for the subject.
How do I choose the right English Literature tutor for my child?
It’s a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors’ introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also read reviews from other parents and send messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
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 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?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All prices are clearly displayed on their profiles, so there are no hidden costs.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. When a tutor tailors lessons to their pace and helps them achieve small wins, that feeling of 'I can do this' starts to grow.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check before they can start teaching. We are very strict about our vetting process.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss how things are going. The goal is to work together to support your child's learning journey.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which is usually perfect for keeping students engaged without being overwhelming. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor if needed.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something 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 experienced and passionate tutors to help them explore their interests.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is usually about the tutor getting to know your child. They'll chat about what your child enjoys, where they feel they're struggling, and what they want to achieve. It's a great opportunity to build rapport and create a plan for future lessons.
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.
