He provides you a structure for writing a paragraph which helps attain all the AOs naturally when writing.

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 one of Southend's grammar schools. Can a tutor really help them achieve the A/A* needed for a Russell Group university?
Absolutely. This is precisely where our tutors excel. Many are specialists in preparing students for top-tier university applications. They provide strategic guidance on exam technique, essay writing, and textual analysis that is specifically designed to meet the high standards of A-Level examiners and impress admissions tutors.
How can an online tutor from outside the area understand the high academic standards in Southend-on-Sea?
Because excellence is universal. Our tutors are selected from the UK's best educators, many of whom have experience with highly academic environments themselves. They focus on the national curriculum and specific exam board requirements (like AQA or Edexcel), providing a level of subject expertise that transcends local geography to help your child compete at the highest level.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a subject like English Literature?
Yes, and in many ways, it's better. Our online classroom has interactive whiteboards perfect for analysing texts together, and screen sharing allows for instant feedback on essays. Plus, your child can access top A-Level specialists from anywhere in the UK, not just those who live locally in Southend. It offers more choice, convenience, and focused support.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English Literature tutor?
Finding the right personality fit is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first session isn't a perfect match, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the right person to support your child.
How many lessons a week are recommended for A-Level English Literature?
Most A-Level students find one session a week is ideal. This provides consistent support to tackle challenging topics, refine coursework, and practise exam technique without overwhelming their schedule. However, it's completely flexible and can be increased during crucial revision periods before exams.
Are your tutors qualified to teach A-Level English Literature?
Yes. We verify the qualifications of all our tutors. Many have degrees in English Literature from leading universities, teaching qualifications, and extensive experience specifically with the A-Level syllabus. You can view each tutor's full profile and experience before you book.
How much do online English Literature tutors for Southend students cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience, particularly those with extensive A-Level and university entrance expertise. You can browse profiles and filter by price to find the perfect fit for your budget.
What equipment does my child need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a webcam with a microphone. Our bespoke online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download. It's designed to be straightforward and easy to use.
Can a tutor also help with my child's UCAS personal statement?
Many of our English Literature tutors are experienced in helping with personal statements. Their expertise in crafting compelling narratives can be invaluable. We recommend checking individual tutor profiles or using our search filters to find tutors who specifically mention UCAS and personal statement support.
We need help with English Literature, but do you offer other A-Level subjects?
We do! We offer tutoring across a huge range of A-Level subjects, from Maths and Sciences to History and Languages. It's easy to find expert support for all your child's studies on our platform, helping them build a strong academic profile across the board.
How can we track our child's progress?
Communication is key. You can message your tutor at any time to discuss progress. Tutors provide regular feedback, and because the sessions are one-to-one, they can constantly assess your child's understanding and adapt their teaching. You'll see the progress not just in their work, but in their growing confidence.
Can my child learn a skill for fun, not just for exams?
Of course. Whilst we provide a lot of academic support, learning should also be a joy. We have tutors for everything from creative writing and learning a musical instrument to coding and new languages. It's a great way for your child to explore interests outside the school curriculum.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
