Online Tutors for the English Common Entrance

The English Common Entrance can feel like a huge hurdle. You see the exam papers and worry you don't know how to help your child analyse a poem or structure a story. It’s a lot to figure out on your own. But you don’t have to. Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about your child and what they need help with. We then match you with a specialist English tutor who can help. Even when you cannot help with the subject, you can still help them.

When the exam stops feeling so intimidating

The right tutor helps your child make sense of complex texts and find a clear structure for their writing. Suddenly, it’s not about memorising rules, but about developing their own ideas and expressing them with confidence. That newfound confidence is the real goal. It not only prepares them for their exams but gives them the skills to walk into their new school feeling ready for what comes next, knowing they can handle the work.

Matched to the right tutor — without the guesswork

Our Tutor Finder asks the questions you might not know to ask. We’ll find out which schools you're applying for, how your child learns best, and where they need the most support. We then recommend a small, handpicked shortlist of tutors. We're very selective; only one in every eight tutors who apply is accepted. This means any tutor we suggest is a genuine recommendation – an expert who knows how to build confidence for the Common Entrance exams. And if the first session isn't the right fit, our First Lesson Guarantee means we'll find another tutor for you at no charge.
