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.

asked questions
See all FAQs
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?
Yes, a tutor can be a fantastic guide during the university application process. They can help your child structure their personal statement, refine their writing, and articulate their ambitions clearly, which is a huge help when applying to competitive universities.
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.
How much does an online English tutor in West Malling cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study, giving you the flexibility to find an expert who fits your budget.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor can do wonders for a child's confidence. By working at their own pace in a safe space, they can ask questions freely and celebrate small wins, which helps them feel much more positive about their abilities.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English?
Every child learns differently, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. For academic progress, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade with regular lessons.

What if our family has a busy schedule?
That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of days and times. You can easily find and schedule lessons that fit around school, sports, and other commitments.
