Why a Strong English Grade is So Important for Their Future
English isn't just another GCSE; it's the foundation for so much more. Strong analytical and communication skills, developed while exploring texts like 'An Inspector Calls' or crafting persuasive arguments, are essential for top A-Level providers. For children hoping to study competitive subjects like law or history at a Russell Group university, a high grade in English is often a non-negotiable requirement. It's the skill that helps them think critically and express their ideas clearly, opening doors to their chosen future.

Personalised English Tutoring for Your Child in Littleport
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That’s why we’re so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Our background-checked English tutors are experts in their field. They take the time to understand how your child learns best, building a rapport that helps them feel comfortable asking questions and tackling tricky topics, whether it's understanding poetic devices or structuring an argument. Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they're struggling with Shakespearean language in 'Macbeth', the session will focus on that. If they need to sharpen their exam technique for unseen poetry, their tutor will create a plan to build that skill. This targeted approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we can help boost your child’s GCSE results by up to two grades. Juggling school, clubs, and family life is hard enough. Our online platform makes finding support simple. You can connect with the perfect English tutor from anywhere in the UK, scheduling lessons at times that fit around your family's commitments.

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 hopes to apply for A-Levels at a competitive college in Ely. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students meet the high entry requirements for selective colleges. They can focus on developing the specific analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the top GCSE grades (7-9) that these institutions look for.
We're worried about getting the grades needed for a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help my child aim that high?
Definitely. This is a common goal for many families we support. An experienced English tutor can help your child go beyond the curriculum, fostering the critical thinking and deep subject knowledge that top universities value. They can help your child develop the confidence and skills to aim for the highest grades.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you 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 for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding in Python to public speaking and university admissions prep.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence in English?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space makes a huge difference. Tutors can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style to suit your child. This personalised approach helps them feel more capable and less anxious about the subject.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that a regular weekly session works best to build momentum and see consistent progress, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
Every session is tailored to your child. It might start with a quick review of what they covered in school that week, then move on to tackling a specific area they find tricky, like analysing a poem or planning an essay. The focus is always on your child's individual needs.
Can a tutor help with the specific texts my child is studying for GCSEs?
Yes, of course. Our English tutors are very familiar with the GCSE curriculum across all major exam boards. Whether it's 'Macbeth', 'Jekyll and Hyde', or the Power and Conflict poetry anthology, they can provide expert guidance on the specific texts your child is studying.
