Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to apply to King's College or UCL. Can a tutor help with that?

Absolutely. Many of our English Literature tutors are experienced in helping students aiming for top Russell Group universities. They can focus on developing the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills that admissions tutors at institutions like King's and UCL are looking for.

We live near Dulwich. Can we find a tutor familiar with the standards expected at top schools?

Yes. Our tutors come from a wide range of academic backgrounds, including many who have experience with the high standards of leading independent and state schools. You can view each tutor's full profile and experience to find the perfect match to support your child's ambitions.

How do I choose the right English Literature tutor for my child?

It's a really personal choice. We recommend reading tutor profiles to learn about their experience and teaching style. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs, whether it's understanding poetic meter or structuring A-Level coursework.

How much does an English Literature tutor in South London cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit for your child. With 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.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our highest priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By mastering tricky topics, like analysing Shakespearean language, and seeing their grades improve, their self-belief will naturally grow.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It allows your child and their tutor to collaborate on essays and analyse texts in real-time.

How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?

This is different for every child. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly lessons throughout the school year. The great thing is that it's completely flexible and you can decide what works best for your family.

What A-Level English Literature texts can tutors help with?

Our tutors can cover the full range of set texts across all exam boards, from classics like *Frankenstein* and *The Great Gatsby* to modern poetry and drama. You can message tutors directly to confirm they have experience with your child's specific syllabus.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor if needed.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child also learn a hobby?

We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. So, alongside English Literature, your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding in Python, or even learn a new language. It's all about changing lives through learning.
