Specialist Online English Common Entrance Tutors

The English Common Entrance exam can feel like a huge hurdle, especially when you're not sure how to help. You know they're capable, but the specific demands of comprehension, composition, and analysis are tricky to get right at home. It’s a lot of pressure on you both. Even when you cannot help with the subject, you can still help them. Our Tutor Finder does the work for you, asking a few simple questions about your child to find the right person for the job. It’s not a search bar, it’s a recommendation.

When essays stop feeling like a battle

The right tutor helps your child make sense of tricky texts and organise their thoughts on paper. Suddenly, structuring an essay or analysing a poem isn't an impossible task. It’s about building a quiet confidence that lasts well beyond the exam. This confidence is crucial for the Common Entrance, helping them walk into the exam feeling prepared. They'll have a clear strategy for tackling different questions, turning a source of worry into an area they feel ready for.

You answer a few questions. We find the right person.

Our Tutor Finder asks what your child needs, from understanding Shakespeare to exam technique. We then recommend a shortlist of tutors we would genuinely back for them. Every tutor on that list has been carefully vetted (only 1 in 8 applicants make it), is ID-verified and DBS-checked. It’s why over 4,100 parents give us 4.6 stars. Most families have their first lesson within days. It's a low-pressure chat to see how things feel. If it isn't the right fit, our First Lesson Guarantee means we find someone else, at no extra cost to you.
