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 M
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

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is worried about getting the grades for A-Levels. Can a tutor help them aim for a grade 5+ in GCSE English?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. Our tutors are experts at helping students target specific grades. They can identify the exact areas your child needs to improve on to secure that crucial grade 5 or higher, giving them a clear path to their chosen A-Level courses.
We're thinking about future applications to universities like Bristol or Exeter. How can an English tutor help now?
That's a great question. Strong English skills are fundamental for applications to Russell Group universities. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills that make an application stand out, not just for their English A-Level but across all their subjects and their personal statement.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can view detailed tutor profiles which include their experience, qualifications, and an introductory video. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. You can even message a few tutors for free to find the perfect match for your child's personality and needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is everything. 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 much does an online English tutor cost in Blandford Forum?
Our tutors set their own rates, with prices starting from £15 per hour. The cost can vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a great tutor that fits your family's budget.
How do you make sure tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must provide a valid DBS check and professional references. You can be confident that your child is learning from a trusted and qualified professional.
My child has lost their confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. In a private, supportive setting, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Tutors are brilliant at breaking down difficult topics, celebrating small wins, and rebuilding that self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their other subjects too.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, so your child and their tutor can work together just as they would in person. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is different because it's tailored to your child. A session might start by reviewing a tricky piece of homework, then move on to practising a specific skill like analysing unseen poetry, and finish by planning out an essay question for an upcoming test. The tutor will focus on whatever your child needs most at that time.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for making steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to arrange more frequent sessions in the run-up to an important exam. You can discuss the best plan with your chosen tutor.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The key is consistency. The personalised attention from a tutor helps close learning gaps quickly, so you'll often see a boost in your child's confidence and understanding within just a few weeks.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for hundreds of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for it on Tutorful.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
