Find the Right Online English Tutor in Haxby to Help Your Child Thrive
It’s completely understandable to feel a little anxious about your child's next steps, especially with the high standards of local schools like Huntington and Fulford. You know your child is bright, but you worry that even a great GCSE from a school like Joseph Rowntree might not be enough for the huge leap to A-Level English Literature.
Finding the right one-to-one support can make all the difference. An online English tutor provides a dedicated partner for your child, helping them build the advanced analytical skills and essay-writing confidence they need to aim for top universities like York or Durham.

The ability to analyse complex texts, from Shakespearean plays to modern poetry, and articulate a compelling argument is exactly what competitive humanities courses demand. This isn't just about passing exams – it's about teaching your child how to think critically, a skill that will open doors for them at university and in their future career.

One-to-One Support to Master Advanced English
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a connection. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best. They take the time to understand how your child learns, whether they struggle to structure an essay or need help analysing complex quotes. This personal approach helps your child feel understood and ready to learn. Every lesson is built around your child's specific goals. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, a tutor can dedicate an entire session to perfecting a comparative essay or deconstructing a tricky poem. This focused support is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. It’s a space where your child can ask questions without feeling rushed, ensuring they truly grasp the material. With our flexible online platform, you can find the perfect English tutor without having to rush to appointments. You can arrange lessons that fit around your family's schedule, making it easy to get consistent, high-quality support from the comfort of your home.

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
My child is at Joseph Rowntree and is predicted good GCSEs, but we're worried about A-Levels. Can a tutor help with that specific jump?
Yes, absolutely. This is a very common reason parents come to us. Our experienced English tutors specialise in helping students bridge the gap between GCSE and A-Level, focusing on the deeper analytical skills and sophisticated essay-writing techniques required for success at the next level.
We're hoping for a place at the University of York or Durham. Can a tutor support this goal?
Definitely. Many of our English tutors are experts in preparing students for applications to top universities. They can help your child develop the high-level critical thinking and writing skills that admissions tutors at prestigious universities like York and Durham look for.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view detailed tutor profiles which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. You can also watch their introductory video and send them a message before booking to make sure they're the perfect fit for your child's needs and personality.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child. 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 does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn and collaborate with their tutor from the comfort of your home.
How much does online English tuition cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find an option that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You can use our search filters to find a great tutor in your price range.
Are your tutors safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Can tutoring help my child build confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions and work at their own pace without the pressure of a full classroom. This supportive environment is fantastic for building their self-esteem.
My child struggles with analysing poetry. Can a tutor help with that specifically?
Of course. The beauty of one-to-one tuition is that lessons can be tailored to exactly what your child needs. A tutor can spend as much time as necessary on specific areas, like analysing poetry or structuring essays, until your child feels confident.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long, but you can arrange other durations with your tutor. Most families find that a regular weekly session works best, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be adapted to fit your child's goals.
Do you only offer academic subjects?
Not at all! While we have experts in core subjects like English and Maths, you can also find brilliant tutors for music subjects like guitar, creative skills, and even learning a new language. There's something for everyone.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback and work with you and your child to set clear goals. You'll be able to see their confidence grow, and tutors can also help prepare for mock exams or assessments to track their improvement.
