Why Exceptional English Skills Are Key to Your Child's Next Step
Strong English skills are about much more than just passing exams; they open doors. For your child, this could be the difference between simply understanding 'Macbeth' and being able to write a compelling analysis that impresses an examiner. It's the skill that will help them craft a powerful personal statement that stands out to admissions tutors at universities like King's College or UCL, giving them a vital edge in their application.

Personalised English Support to Build Real Confidence
The right tutor takes the time to understand exactly how your child learns. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best. They'll pinpoint the specific areas where your child needs support—whether it's structuring an argument or analysing poetry—and build a genuine connection that helps them feel comfortable and ready to learn. Every single lesson is planned around your child's unique goals. This isn't a one-size-fits-all course. If they need to prepare for their GCSEs, lessons will focus on exam technique and curriculum content. If the goal is a powerful UCAS application, the sessions can be dedicated to drafting and refining their personal statement until it truly reflects their strengths and ambitions. Finding that perfect support is simple and fits around your family's busy life. You can browse our background-checked tutors, read reviews from other parents, and schedule online lessons at times that work for you. No travel, no stress—just effective, one-to-one learning from the comfort of your own home.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive A-Level programme. Can a tutor help them stand out?
Absolutely. Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills that A-Level providers look for. They can work on moving beyond the GCSE curriculum to ensure your child's work shows the depth and sophistication needed to secure a place on a popular course.
We're worried about the personal statement for London universities like UCL or King's. Is that something an English tutor can help with?
Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements. They can guide your child in structuring their ideas, refining their writing style, and articulating their ambitions in a way that captures the attention of university admissions teams.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view detailed tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to find the perfect match. You can even message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. With 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 much does an online English tutor in Norwood cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from anywhere.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space makes a huge difference. A tutor can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style to your child's personality, helping them feel capable and much more confident in their abilities.
Can tutoring help with specific texts, like Shakespeare plays or modern poetry?
Definitely. A tutor can provide focused support on any text your child is studying. They can help them understand complex language, explore key themes, and practise analysing quotes, which is a vital skill for exams.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer lessons within a few days, so your child can get the support they need without delay. It's easy to see their availability on their profile.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child could learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get help with coding in Python, or even develop their public speaking skills.
How many other students have used Tutorful?
