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...

Lucy C
Experienced English Literature Tutor - KS3, GCSE, A level, University
Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor and examiner, who has been teaching English Language & Literature and Religious Studies online since 2013. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education.While I am a passionate tutor of each of those two subjects individually, more importantly I feel that my experience in each subject contributes something to the other. For example, my knowledge of Biblical and Greek mythological references from my study of world religions is often really useful when interpreting certain texts by Shakespeare or other non-contemporary...

Gloria J
Definitely a tutor I would recommend for English. Friendly, helpful and assuring for such vast knowledge in English you can identify her in having through the lessons you have with her. She structures lessons well to allow you to engage and be educated at a steady pace where your weaknesses are identified simultaneously, and further improving on it, fortifying your foundation on the subject whilst also gaining more exposure and experience to answering past paper questions.

John M
I was dubious that I would see any benefit or engagement in my son when it came to English but John has managed to reach him in a way that is accessible and enjoyable. My son attends on time, each week and appears to b positively engaged which is a breath of fresh air based on the challenges we have had with him through his whole school career.
I'm looking forward to seeing his continued growth

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a competitive Sheffield school like Tapton or Silverdale. Can a tutor help them stand out for a Russell Group university application?
Absolutely. That’s precisely where our tutors excel. They are experienced in stretching high-achieving students, focusing on the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills that distinguish an A from an A*. They can help your child develop a deeper critical voice, which is essential for both their exams and their personal statement.
The jump from GCSE to A-Level English Literature feels huge. How can an online tutor help my child bridge that gap?
We hear this a lot, and it's a genuine challenge. An online tutor provides focused, one-to-one attention to tackle this head-on. They can slow down, revisit core concepts, and build a strong foundation in textual analysis, critical theory, and academic writing that might be missed in a busy classroom, making the transition feel manageable and exciting.
Does it matter that the tutor isn't physically based in Sheffield?
Not at all – in fact, it’s a huge advantage. Online tutoring means your child in Sheffield isn't limited to tutors who live nearby. They get access to the very best English Literature specialists from across the UK, including university lecturers and top A-Level examiners, ensuring they get the highest quality support available.
Is online tutoring as effective for a discussion-based subject like English Literature?
Yes, it's incredibly effective. Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing tools that make discussions lively and engaging. It’s a focused environment where your child can share ideas, analyse texts together with their tutor, and build confidence without classroom distractions.
How do you vet your English Literature tutors to ensure they're A-Level specialists?
We have a rigorous selection process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. All are subject-matter experts who undergo interviews and background checks. For A-Level, we specifically look for tutors with proven experience in helping students master the syllabus and achieve top grades.
What if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is key. We completely understand that. 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. We're committed to helping you find the perfect partner for your child's learning.
Can a tutor help with the specific texts my child is studying for their A-Levels?
Yes, definitely. You can browse tutors' profiles to see their areas of expertise, whether it's Shakespeare, modern poetry, or post-colonial literature. You can find a specialist who knows your child's set texts inside and out, ready to provide expert guidance.
How much do online English Literature lessons for Sheffield students typically cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15-£25 per hour, depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can filter tutors by price to find an option that fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
My child is also interested in creative writing. Do you offer tutoring for that as well?
We do! Many of our English tutors are also passionate writers themselves and offer sessions in creative writing, poetry, and even journalism. It's a fantastic way for your child to explore their creativity alongside their academic studies. You can search specifically for these skills on our platform.
How are online lessons scheduled to fit around school and other commitments?
Flexibility is one of the biggest benefits. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and book slots that fit around your child's school timetable, sports, and other activities. Lessons can be booked for evenings, weekends, or during school holidays – whatever works for you.
What technology do we need for an online tutoring session?
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 is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download. It’s designed to be straightforward and easy to use.
How quickly can we expect to see an improvement in my child's confidence and grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but many parents tell us they see a change in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. The consistent, personalised support helps things 'click' much faster. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
