Phil R
Bringing English to Life
I have a strong, passionate and extensive interest in History. I believe that rather than it be a stodgy subject full of dates and events, it’s actually a living thing as it’s about people, how they thought what they thought and why they thought it and how all that impacts us today. My specialist interest lies in 19th and 20th Century History particularly the First World War - I visit the battlefields of France and Belgium at least twice a year. It's something I think anyone should undertake at least just once to try and appreciate the magnitude of what took place there - it's a moving experience. I a...

Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive university like York or Leeds. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students build the strong analytical and essay-writing skills needed for successful UCAS applications. They can help your child articulate their ideas with confidence, which is a huge advantage when aiming for top universities.
The academic standard at Tadcaster Grammar is high. Can I find a tutor experienced with helping students aim for top GCSE grades (7-9)?
Yes, definitely. You can use our filters to find tutors who specialise in GCSE English and have a proven track record of helping students achieve high grades. Many tutors mention their experience with specific exam boards and helping students aiming for grades 7, 8, and 9 in their profiles.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for building confidence. 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.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read their bios, and check reviews from other parents. Many parents message a few tutors first to discuss their child's specific needs before booking. It’s all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable learning with.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every one. We're very selective – only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.
How can an online tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps them see that they *can* do it, which makes a huge difference.
How much does an online English tutor in Tadcaster cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. This transparency allows you to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
How do online lessons work? What technology do we need?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. It's simple and easy to use.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both. They can help your child switch seamlessly between analysing poetry for Literature and honing their persuasive writing for Language, ensuring they feel prepared for all aspects of their exams.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and learning style.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress. Many parents say they see a change not just in their child's grades, but in their enthusiasm for the subject too.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find a brilliant tutor for them on Tutorful.
