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 is aiming for a competitive sixth form in South-East London. Can a tutor help with their English Literature GCSE?
Absolutely. We understand the pressure. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child master the specific skills needed for their GCSEs, from exam technique to essay writing. They can help build the deep subject knowledge and confidence required to aim for those top grades that open doors to the best local sixth forms.
We're worried about applications to universities like King's or UCL. How can A-Level tutoring help beyond just improving grades?
That's a great question. A top grade is vital, but leading universities look for genuine intellectual curiosity. An A-Level tutor can explore texts beyond the syllabus, encourage critical debate, and help your child articulate their ideas with sophistication. This builds the passion and analytical depth that makes a personal statement and university interview truly stand out.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a subject like English Literature that's all about discussion?
Yes, many find it even more effective. Our online classroom has interactive whiteboards for analysing texts together, and the focused one-to-one environment encourages students to share their ideas without classroom pressure. Plus, it gives your child in South-East London access to a far wider range of specialist tutors from across the UK.
How do you ensure your English Literature tutors are high quality?
We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview them to ensure they have both the subject expertise and the passion for teaching that can inspire a student. Many are experienced teachers, examiners, or hold degrees from top universities.
What happens if we don't feel the first tutor is the right fit for my child?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
My child is also interested in Creative Writing. Do you offer tutors for that?
We do! Many of our English tutors are also accomplished writers and can provide wonderful mentoring in Creative Writing. We also offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from coding and music to modern languages, so your child can explore all their interests with expert guidance.
How much does online English Literature tutoring for a student in South-East London cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., GCSE vs. A-Level). You can easily filter by price on our website to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
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 software to download. It's designed to be as easy and intuitive as possible.
How do I find the best English Literature tutor for my child?
You can use the filters on our site to narrow down your search by subject, level, price, and availability. We recommend watching tutors' introductory videos and reading reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs before booking.
Do tutors cover specific exam boards like AQA and Edexcel?
Yes. Most of our tutors have extensive experience with all the major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC. You can see which boards a tutor specialises in on their profile, ensuring the support your child receives is perfectly aligned with their school's curriculum.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development, and you can message them at any time to discuss progress. The clearest signs, though, are often the ones you see at home: greater confidence in their homework, a willingness to contribute in class, and a newfound enjoyment for a subject they once found difficult.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families find that one hour-long session per week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You might want more frequent sessions in the run-up to exams or less frequent check-ins during term time. It's entirely up to you and what works best for your child.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
