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.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

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.
