Charilaos V
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.

Alex R
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 aiming for Watford Grammar School's sixth form. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English Literature grade?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for families we work with in Watford. Our tutors are experienced in helping students move from a grade 6 or 7 to the 8s and 9s required for competitive sixth form entry. They focus on exam technique, analytical depth, and essay writing skills that specifically target the top mark bands.
With the academic pressure in Watford, how can a tutor help my child stand out in English Literature?
A great tutor helps your child develop their own critical voice. Instead of just repeating class notes, they'll learn to build unique, persuasive arguments that examiners remember. This level of analysis and confidence is what makes a student stand out in a highly competitive environment.
Is online tutoring really as effective as having someone come to our home in Watford?
We believe it's even more effective. Online tutoring gives your child access to a much wider pool of specialist English Literature tutors from across the UK, not just who is available locally. It's also more flexible, saves travel time, and takes place in a comfortable, familiar learning environment – your own home.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English Literature tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, 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 that simple.
My child has lost all confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that, not just the grades?
Yes, completely. In fact, rebuilding confidence is one of the most important things our tutors do. A one-to-one setting provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement, celebrate small wins, and see that they really are capable. The grades often follow naturally once that self-belief is back.
How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?
We have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has proven expertise in their subject. We focus on finding tutors who are not only knowledgeable but also passionate and skilled at teaching one-to-one.
Can a tutor help with specific exam boards like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes. Many of our tutors specialise in particular exam boards and their specific requirements. You can view their experience on their profile and even message them before booking to ensure they are a perfect match for your child's curriculum.
How flexible is scheduling around school clubs and other commitments?
Very flexible. You and the tutor arrange lesson times that work for you both. Because it's online, you can easily schedule sessions in evenings or on weekends without worrying about travel, making it much easier to fit around a busy family life in Watford.
Are there tutors who can help my child explore works by authors with Hertfordshire connections, like George Orwell?
Many of our English tutors have a broad literary knowledge and would be delighted to explore authors connected to your area. This can be a fantastic way to bring the subject to life. You can discuss your child's specific interests with potential tutors before booking to find the perfect fit.
What's the cost of an online English Literature tutor for a student in Watford?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. Tutors set their own hourly rates, starting from £15 per hour. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your budget.
Beyond English Literature, do you offer tutoring for other skills like creative writing?
We do! Many of our English tutors also offer support in creative writing, public speaking, and university application statements. We also have tutors across hundreds of subjects, from coding and music to languages and science, helping your child explore all their interests.
How many sessions will my child need to see an improvement?
This varies for each student, but consistency is key. Most families find that weekly sessions create the best momentum for building skills and confidence. Your tutor will work with you to set clear goals and track progress right from the start.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
