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 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 South West London school. Can your tutors provide support beyond the standard curriculum to target A* grades?
Absolutely. Many of our English Literature tutors are specialists in stretching high-achieving students. They can introduce advanced critical theories, explore wider reading, and focus on the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills required to move from an A to an A*, which is often crucial for students from schools like Graveney or King's College School.
We're aiming for a top university like UCL or Oxbridge. Do you have tutors with experience in this?
Yes. We have many tutors who are graduates of these top universities themselves and have extensive experience coaching students through the application process. They understand the level of textual analysis and intellectual curiosity that admissions tutors are looking for and can help your child develop and demonstrate these skills.
Is online tutoring as effective for a discussion-based subject like English Literature?
It is, and many students find it even better. The one-to-one online format is incredibly focused, allowing for in-depth discussion without classroom distractions. Our interactive whiteboard is perfect for annotating texts and deconstructing poems together in real-time, making sessions dynamic and highly collaborative.
How are your English Literature tutors vetted?
We have a rigorous selection process and accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview them to ensure they have both deep subject knowledge and a real passion for teaching. We look for tutors who can inspire and build confidence.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is essential. We have a first-lesson guarantee: if you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, 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 flexible is scheduling around a busy South West London lifestyle?
Extremely flexible. Because our tutors are based across the UK, you have a much wider choice of available times, including evenings and weekends. You can schedule sessions that fit around school, sports, and other commitments, all from the comfort of your own home.
Do you offer tutoring for other subjects needed for a strong university application, like History or Politics?
Yes, we do. We offer expert online tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core academic disciplines like History, Maths and Sciences to languages, coding, and music. We can help your child build a strong academic profile across all their chosen subjects.
Can a tutor help with specific texts my child is studying for their GCSEs or A-Levels?
Definitely. Our tutors can provide tailored support on any text on the curriculum, whether it's Shakespeare, modern drama, poetry anthologies, or 19th-century novels. They can help your child grasp complex themes, analyse language, and prepare specifically for the questions they'll face in their exams.
How much do online English Literature tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can browse tutors' profiles to see their individual rates, starting from around £20 per hour. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you just pay for the lessons you book.
What technology does my child need for online lessons?
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 software to download. It's designed to be intuitive and easy to use.
Can a tutor help my child connect their studies to London's literary history?
That's a fantastic way to bring the subject to life! Many of our tutors love to make these connections. For a student in South West London, they could explore how the city is portrayed in modern texts or discuss the work of authors associated with the area, adding a unique and memorable dimension to their learning.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for English Literature, browse the profiles of available tutors, and message them directly to ask any questions. Many tutors respond within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson booked for this week.
Have a great first lesson.
