As a parent in Batley, it's natural to feel the pressure when you see the competition for places at schools like Heckmondwike Grammar.

Why a Strong Grasp of English Matters for Their Future
English isn't just about analysing Shakespearean quotes or getting grammar right; it's the foundation for clear thinking and effective communication. Strong English skills are essential for every other subject your child will study. A great grade in GCSE English is often a requirement for moving on to A-Levels and respected local colleges. It gives them the confidence to express their ideas clearly, whether they're writing an essay or preparing for a university interview, setting them up for success long after they leave the classroom.

Finding the Right English Support for Your Child
We know you want the best for your child, which is why we're so selective—we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. The right tutor does more than just teach; they get to know your child, understand how they learn, and build a supportive relationship. This personal connection helps your child feel comfortable asking questions they might be too shy to ask in a busy classroom. Every one-to-one session is built around your child's specific goals. Whether they need to improve their vocabulary for the 11+, get to grips with analysing 'An Inspector Calls' for their GCSEs, or refine their essay technique for A-Levels, their tutor will create lessons that target exactly what they need to work on. This focused approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Finding time for extra support shouldn't be stressful. With online tutoring, you can connect with the perfect English specialist from anywhere in the UK, without worrying about travel. Lessons are easy to schedule around school, clubs, and family life, giving your child expert help right from the comfort of your own home in Batley.

David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Batley and are considering Heckmondwike Grammar. Can a tutor help with 11+ English preparation?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ entrance exams. They can help your child build a strong vocabulary, improve their reading comprehension, and get familiar with the exam format, giving them a calm and confident approach to the tests.
My child is worried about getting the grades for Greenhead College. Can tutoring help with their GCSE English?
Yes, that's a very common goal we help students with. A tutor can provide focused support to help your child secure a grade 5 or above in GCSE English. In fact, our support can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades, which can make all the difference when applying for competitive A-Level places.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about what your child needs most – is it confidence with poetry, or help structuring essays? Look for a tutor whose profile and experience match those goals.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £55 per hour, depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for things like annotating texts together, and a space to share documents. It’s a dedicated, one-to-one learning space designed to help your child focus and engage with their tutor.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
Definitely. This is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can work at their own pace and ask questions without feeling judged. Celebrating small wins together is a fantastic way to rebuild their self-belief.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must have a valid DBS check or equivalent background check. We also verify their ID and qualifications. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have 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 often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find a one-hour lesson once a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent sessions during exam periods or less frequent ones as a top-up – whatever works best for your child and your schedule.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills! Your child could learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or even learn a new language. It's all about supporting their passions.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide feedback after each session, so you'll always be kept in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress. Open communication is key to making sure your child is getting the support they need to achieve their goals.
How do I know Tutorful is a trusted platform?
We're proud to have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from parents just like you. We've helped over 200,000 students find the support they need, and we're committed to helping your child succeed too.
