Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is at a very competitive Surrey school. Can a tutor really add value to their existing teaching?

Absolutely. School teachers do a fantastic job, but they have a whole class to manage. A one-to-one online tutor can provide intensely focused support, addressing the specific areas your child needs to refine. They can spend an entire session perfecting essay structure or exploring critical theories that might only get a brief mention in the classroom, providing that extra depth needed to achieve the highest grades.

We're aiming for a top Russell Group university. How can an online tutor help with that specific goal?

Our tutors, many of whom are graduates from those very universities, understand what admissions tutors are looking for. They help students develop sophisticated analytical and writing skills that demonstrate genuine intellectual curiosity. They can work on building a compelling personal statement and even prepare your child for the rigours of an interview, helping them articulate their passion for literature with confidence.

How does online tutoring work for a subject like English Literature?

It's incredibly effective. Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard for analysing texts together, document sharing for reviewing essays in real-time, and video chat for in-depth discussion. It provides the same face-to-face interaction as in-person tutoring, but with the added benefit of accessing top specialists from anywhere in the UK, right from your Surrey home.

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

Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we completely understand that. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We'll be happy to cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor, ensuring you find someone your child genuinely connects with.

How do you vet your English Literature tutors?

We have a rigorous selection process. Every tutor is interviewed by a subject specialist, DBS checked, and must provide references. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be confident you're choosing from a pool of highly qualified and experienced educators who are passionate about their subject.

Can we find a tutor who specialises in a specific author or period my child is studying for A-Levels?

Yes, that's one of the biggest advantages of our UK-wide network. You're not limited to tutors who live nearby. You can browse tutor profiles to find a specialist in anything from Chaucer to contemporary fiction, ensuring your child gets expert guidance on their specific set texts.

My child's main interest is actually Creative Writing. Do you offer support for that too?

We certainly do! Many of our English tutors are also talented writers themselves. We offer tutoring in Creative Writing, helping students develop their own voice and storytelling skills. We also have tutors for a huge range of other subjects, from coding and music to languages and science.

How much do online English Literature tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, giving you complete flexibility and control.

How flexible are the lesson schedules?

Completely. You can arrange sessions directly with your tutor at times that suit your family's schedule. Whether it's evenings, weekends, or during school holidays, you can find a rhythm that works for you, taking the stress out of fitting in extra support.

What do we need for an online lesson?

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 complicated software to install.

Can tutoring help my child with their UCAS personal statement?

Yes, many of our English Literature tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements. They can help your child articulate their passion for the subject, structure their thoughts effectively, and present a polished piece of writing that stands out.

How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?

You can get started very quickly. Simply use our search function to find tutors who match your needs, send a message to one or two you like the look of, and you could be having your first online lesson within a day or two.
