My qualifications such as BA(Hons) Degree in Education where I used Autism in the classroom as my Dissertation, Certificate in Education, L3 Awareness in ASD and L5 Adult Specialist in English , are necessary to implement resources to motivate such barriers and complex needs, including...

Phil R
Bringing English Literature to Life
I have a strong, passionate and extensive interest in History. I believe that rather than it be a stodgy subject full of dates and events, it’s actually a living thing as it’s about people, how they thought what they thought and why they thought it and how all that impacts us today. My specialist interest lies in 19th and 20th Century History particularly the First World War - I visit the battlefields of France and Belgium at least twice a year. It's something I think anyone should undertake at least just once to try and appreciate the magnitude of what took place there - it's a moving experience. I a...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive university like Durham. Can an online tutor provide the right level of A-Level English Literature support?

Absolutely. This is where online tutoring is a huge advantage. We connect students in Sunderland with tutors from across the UK, including university lecturers and experienced A-Level examiners who specialise in helping students achieve A/A* grades. They know exactly what top universities are looking for and can help your child develop the sophisticated analytical skills needed to write standout essays.

How can an online tutor help my child feel connected to their studies if the tutor isn't local to Sunderland?

Connection comes from shared goals and understanding, not postcodes. Our tutors are experts in the national curriculum and specific exam boards your child is studying. They can even help your child explore literature with local connections, like Lewis Carroll's links to the area, showing how great writing can be found everywhere. The focus is always on your child's individual needs.

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 annotating poems and planning essays together. It fosters focused, one-to-one discussion without distractions. Plus, your child can learn from home in Sunderland, giving them access to a much wider pool of specialist tutors than is available locally.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English Literature tutor?

Finding the right personality match is key, and we want you both to feel comfortable. If it’s not a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor. It's really important to us that your child loves their lessons.

How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?

We're very selective because we know how much this matters. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has their qualifications verified. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from some of the best tutors in the UK.

My child also needs help with their university application personal statement. Is that something a tutor can help with?

Yes, many of our English Literature tutors are brilliant at this. They can help your child structure their thoughts, showcase their passion for the subject, and polish their writing to make a brilliant impression. It's a great way to use the skills they're building in their tutoring sessions.

How much do online English Literature lessons cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 an hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., GCSE vs A-Level). You can browse tutors' profiles and filter by price to find the perfect fit for your budget.

Our family schedule is really busy. How flexible is the scheduling?

This is one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can arrange sessions at times that suit your family, whether that's evenings, weekends, or during school holidays. You agree on times directly with your tutor, fitting lessons around football practice, family commitments, and everything else.

Do you offer support for specific exam boards like AQA or OCR?

Yes. Many of our tutors are specialists in particular exam boards for GCSE and A-Level English Literature. You can see which boards a tutor covers on their profile, and you can even filter your search to find a tutor with the exact experience you need.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our custom-built online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install.

Can we get tutoring for subjects other than English Literature?

Of course. We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from maths and science to modern languages, music, and even coding. Whatever your child needs support with, we can connect you with an expert online tutor to help them thrive.

How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's confidence and essays?

Every child learns at their own pace, but many parents tell us they see a change in confidence after just a few sessions. Consistent weekly lessons are the best way to build momentum and see tangible improvements in understanding and the quality of their written work.
