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...

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

Brilliant English Literature tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is hoping to apply for English at the University of York. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top universities. They can provide dedicated A-Level support to help your child achieve the A/A* grades needed, and can often offer guidance on personal statements to help their application stand out.
The schools in York are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child keep up with the A-Level pace?
Yes, this is one of the key benefits of one-to-one tutoring. If your child is struggling to keep up with the fast pace of A-Levels, a tutor can provide a calm, focused space to go over topics, fill in any gaps in their understanding, and build their confidence to fully participate in class.
How do I choose the right English Literature tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.
How much does an English Literature tutor in York cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence for their exams?
Confidence comes from feeling prepared. Tutors help by breaking down challenging topics, practising exam techniques, and providing constructive feedback in a supportive environment. As your child sees their understanding grow, their confidence naturally follows.
Are your tutors qualified to teach A-Level English Literature?
Yes. Our tutors are subject-matter experts, and many are qualified teachers, examiners, or hold degrees in English Literature. We personally interview every tutor and only 1 in 8 applicants are accepted onto our platform. You can view their full qualifications on their profiles.
How many sessions will my child need?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a regular weekly lesson to stay on top of their studies, while others book a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam or piece of coursework. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
What happens in a typical tutoring session?
Every session is tailored to your child. It might start with a quick chat about what they've been covering in school, followed by focusing on a specific area, like analysing a poem, planning an essay, or working on exam technique. It's always interactive and focused on your child's needs.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
While we are experts in academic subjects like English Literature, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or get started with coding, we have an expert tutor who can help.
How can I track my child's progress?
The best way is to have regular communication with your child's tutor. They will be happy to provide feedback on your child's development, discuss areas of improvement, and celebrate their successes with you.
