A strong grasp of English gives them the confidence to communicate their ideas clearly, a skill they'll use for life.

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 attends a local Oswestry school. Can a tutor help them aim for top grades (7-9) in English to get into their preferred A-Level courses?
Absolutely. Many parents in Oswestry share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students bridge the gap to secure top GCSE grades. They can focus on developing the specific analytical and essay-writing skills needed to meet the entry requirements for competitive A-Level courses.
We're hoping our child will apply to universities like Chester or Keele. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes. A tutor can be a great help here. They can work with your child on the advanced essay skills and critical thinking needed for A-Levels, which form the foundation for a strong university application. Many tutors also have experience with personal statements.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding the right personality match is just as important as finding the right subject expert.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit for your child. 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 do you make sure your tutors are safe and high-quality?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We're also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from some of the best tutors in the UK.
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.
My child has lost their confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is very common, and it's where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature GCSEs?
Yes, definitely. Most English tutors are equipped to support your child across both aspects of the GCSE curriculum, from analysing poetry and novels for Literature to mastering persuasive writing techniques for Language.
How many lessons a week will my child need?
Most students have one lesson per week, as this provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible. You and your tutor can decide on a schedule that best suits your child's needs and your family's routine.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to modern languages and music theory.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can chat with them through our messaging system, and you'll often see progress through your child's growing confidence, improved schoolwork, and better test results.
