Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to go to New College Swindon. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English Literature grade they need?

Absolutely. Many parents in Swindon share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the strong GCSE grades needed for competitive A-Level pathways. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques required to help your child feel confident and prepared.

We're aiming for top universities like Bristol or Bath. How does tutoring build the right skills?

That's a fantastic ambition. Tutoring for these goals goes beyond the GCSE syllabus. Tutors focus on developing sophisticated analytical and communication skills – teaching students how to build a convincing argument and write with flair. These are the abilities that help a student truly stand out.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for an essay-based subject like English Literature?

Yes, and it offers unique advantages. Our online classroom has interactive whiteboards perfect for analysing texts together, and document sharing makes collaborative essay editing simple. Plus, your child can connect with a subject specialist from anywhere in the UK, not just who is available locally in Swindon.

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

We know that the right personal connection is key. That's why 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 your first session with a new tutor.

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 Tutorful. Every tutor is interviewed, has their qualifications checked, and undergoes a background check, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.

Can a tutor help with the specific books and poems my child is studying at their school in Swindon?

Of course. That's a core part of what we do. During your first session, the tutor will discuss the exact texts and exam board your child is working with. All lessons are then tailored to provide targeted support where it's needed most.

My child has lost all confidence in English. How can a tutor help?

This is very common, and it's where one-to-one tutoring can make the biggest difference. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down complex topics and celebrating small wins, they rebuild that self-belief, step by step.

How much do online English Literature lessons for Swindon students 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.

Are lessons flexible enough to fit around our busy family schedule?

Yes. Flexibility is one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You can schedule sessions at times that suit your family, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during the holidays. You agree on times directly with your tutor.

Beyond English Literature, what other subjects can you help with?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! From core GCSE subjects like maths and science to A-Levels, languages, and even practical skills like coding or learning a musical instrument. Whatever your child's learning goal, we're here to help.

Are there tutors who can connect literature to our local Wiltshire heritage, like the writer Richard Jefferies?

What a great question! Many of our tutors love to make learning more relevant by drawing on local context. You can discuss this with potential tutors when you message them to see if they can incorporate local literary figures or history into their lessons for your Swindon-based child.

What do we need to get started with online tutoring?

It's 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.
