Why a Strong Grasp of English is Key to Your Child's Future
English is so much more than just another subject on the timetable; it's the foundation for success in almost every other area. Strong English skills mean your child can articulate their ideas clearly, whether they're analysing a tricky quote from 'Macbeth' for a GCSE essay or building a persuasive argument in a History exam. This ability to communicate effectively is exactly what top sixth forms and universities look for, helping to create a compelling personal statement that could open doors to institutions like the University of Kent or those in London.

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 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

My child is preparing for the Kent Test. Can a tutor help with the English component?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for entrance exams like the Kent Test. They can focus on key areas like reading comprehension, creative writing, and grammar to help your child feel confident and ready for the day.
We're aiming for a place at a London university. Can a tutor help with the personal statement?

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
