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.

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 at Poole Grammar/Parkstone Grammar. Can a tutor help bridge the gap from GCSE to A-Level English Literature?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Poole come to us. Our tutors are experts in managing this transition. They focus on developing the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills needed to move from a strong GCSE grade to achieving A or A* at A-Level, meeting the high standards of local grammar schools.
We're aiming for a Russell Group university like Bristol or Exeter. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. Many of our English Literature tutors are Russell Group graduates themselves and have extensive experience helping students secure places at top universities. They can focus sessions on crafting the kind of nuanced, critical arguments that admissions tutors are looking for, helping your child's application stand out.
Is online tutoring really effective for a discussion-based subject like English Literature?
It is, and it offers huge advantages. Our online classroom has interactive whiteboards perfect for deconstructing texts and essay plans together. The focused, one-to-one environment encourages students to share their ideas confidently. Plus, it gives your child in Poole access to A-Level specialists from across the UK, not just whoever is local.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right personal connection is crucial for learning. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do you vet your English Literature tutors?
We have a rigorous selection process. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has their qualifications verified. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a true subject expert who is passionate about what they do.
Can a tutor help my child explore writers with Dorset connections, like Mary Shelley or Thomas Hardy?
Definitely. A tutor can provide brilliant support for coursework or wider reading by exploring local literary heritage. Discussing authors with a connection to the area can bring the subject to life and help your child develop a unique and personal perspective in their work.
How long are the online sessions and how frequent should they be?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which we find is perfect for maintaining focus and making real progress. Most students have one session per week, but this is completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule with your tutor that fits your child's needs and your family's routine.
What technology do we need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install.
Do you offer help for other subjects or skills beyond English Literature?
Yes, we do. We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from A-Level Maths and Sciences to university admissions support, including personal statement writing and interview practice. We can support your child's entire academic journey.
How much does online English Literature tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go.
Can we get feedback on my child's progress?
Of course. Your tutor will be happy to provide regular feedback on your child's development, highlighting areas of improvement and focusing on the next steps. Open communication is a key part of the three-way partnership between tutor, student, and parent.
Are your tutors familiar with the AQA, OCR and Edexcel exam boards?
Yes. Our tutors have experience with all the major UK exam boards. When you search, you can filter for tutors who specialise in the specific exam board your child is studying with, ensuring the support they receive is perfectly tailored to the syllabus and exam requirements.
