Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
A great grade in English isn't just another certificate. It's a core qualification that opens doors to competitive A-Level courses and is highly respected by universities and employers alike. The skills your child develops—from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to building a persuasive argument—are skills for life. They learn how to communicate clearly and think critically, which is essential whether they're aiming for a place at the University of Bristol or preparing for their future career.

Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor and examiner, who has been teaching English Language & Literature and Religious Studies online since 2013. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education.While I am a passionate tutor of each of these two subjects individually, more importantly I feel that my experience in each subject contributes something to the other.

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
The local sixth forms are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade they need to apply?
Yes, absolutely. This is one of the main reasons parents in Calne come to us. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can help your child focus on the specific skills needed to move up a grade boundary. They can work on exam technique, confidence, and mastering the marking criteria to help your child secure the grades they need for their A-Level choices.
My child hopes to apply to a competitive university like Bath or Bristol. Can a tutor help with this?
Definitely. A strong English A-Level is fantastic preparation for university, and our tutors can help your child develop the higher-level critical thinking and analytical skills that top universities look for. Many of our tutors can also provide support with personal statements, helping your child articulate their passion for their chosen subject.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to get a feel for their approach. Think about your child's specific needs—do they need help with essay structure or understanding Shakespeare? Finding a tutor whose expertise and personality are a good match is key to building your child's confidence.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our site to find an expert who fits your budget, with prices starting from as little as £15 per hour.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has been through a rigorous selection process. We interview every applicant and they must have a valid DBS check (or equivalent) before they can teach.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a document editor, so your child and their tutor can work through problems together in real-time. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to progress. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them feel much more positive about the subject.
My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor focus just on that?
Yes, that's the great thing about one-to-one tuition. Lessons are completely tailored to your child's needs. If they're struggling with poetry, their tutor can dedicate entire sessions to exploring different techniques and building their confidence in that specific area until they feel comfortable with it.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have brilliant tutors who can help your child learn a musical instrument, a new language, or even practical skills like coding and public speaking. There's a whole world of learning to discover.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard length for a tutoring session is one hour. We find this gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. You can discuss what works best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about their goals, what they find tricky in English, and what they enjoy. It's a great opportunity to see if it's a good fit and to create a plan for future lessons.
