English Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're aiming for a place at Devonport High or Plymouth High for Girls. Can a tutor help with 11+ English preparation?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are familiar with the requirements for local grammar schools. They can help your child build confidence in comprehension, creative writing, and grammar to give them the best possible chance in their entrance exams.

My child hopes to study at the University of Plymouth. Can a tutor help with their A-Level English and personal statement?

Yes, our tutors are brilliant at providing support for A-Level students. They can help your child master complex texts and essay techniques, and also offer valuable guidance on structuring a compelling personal statement that stands out on their university application.

What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to tutors before you book. We recommend finding someone whose teaching style and experience match your child's specific needs, whether that's for GCSE revision or building foundational reading skills.

How much does an online English tutor in Plymouth cost?

Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced background check. We also manually vet every tutor's profile and qualifications—we only accept 1 in 8 who apply—so you can have complete peace of mind.

How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?

Confidence is key to learning. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, supportive space where your child can work at their own pace without the pressure of a classroom. By celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics, they help rebuild your child's self-belief step-by-step.

How does online tutoring work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

How do I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also chat with your tutor at any time through our messaging system to discuss their progress, focus areas, and how you can best support their learning at home.

What happens in a typical online English lesson?

Every lesson is tailored to your child. A tutor might start by reviewing homework, then move on to a new topic like analysing a poem or planning an essay. They use the interactive whiteboard to work through examples together, ensuring your child fully understands before moving on.

How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?

Lessons are typically an hour long, which gives enough time to cover a topic properly without your child losing focus. Most parents find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your tutor.

Is Tutorful only for core academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?

While we have fantastic tutors for subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even learn a new language. It's all about helping them pursue their passions.
