Finding an English Tutor Who Understands Your Child's Goals
We believe the best learning happens when a tutor truly connects with your child. That's why our tutors take the time to understand how your child learns best, what they find tricky, and what their goals are. This isn't just about ticking boxes; it's about building a supportive partnership that helps your child feel understood and ready to learn. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child. If they're struggling to analyse poetry for their GCSEs or need to refine their essay structure for A-Level preparation, their tutor will focus precisely on that. This targeted approach helps fill any gaps in their knowledge, builds confidence, and leads to real, measurable progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. We make finding that perfect tutor simple. You can browse background-checked English specialists from across the UK and book lessons at times that fit around your family's busy schedule. With our secure online classroom, your child can get expert help from the comfort of home, saving you time and travel.

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 aiming for a competitive sixth form in Bedford or Milton Keynes. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students prepare for entry into specific sixth forms. They can focus on developing the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills that admissions teams look for, giving your child the best possible chance of securing a place.
We're thinking ahead to university. Can a tutor help my child prepare for a Russell Group application?
Yes, that's a great way to use tutoring. Our tutors can help your child master the sophisticated skills needed for A-Level English, which is a key requirement for many top university courses. They can also provide support with personal statement writing, helping your child articulate their passion for the subject effectively.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 the cost of 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 reviews from other parents, and check their experience. Many parents find it helpful to send a message to a few tutors to discuss their child's specific needs before booking a lesson.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, our tutors are fantastic at rebuilding confidence.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an identity check and has a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
Can tutoring help my child improve their GCSE English grade?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. Our focused, one-to-one support can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades. Tutors can work on specific areas, from exam technique to understanding complex texts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a microphone and internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This really depends on your child's goals. Most families find a weekly one-hour session works well for consistent progress, but you can arrange lessons as frequently as you need. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer tutoring for core school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts in all school subjects from primary to A-Level, we also have talented tutors who can teach a wide range of skills, from learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python. There's something for everyone.
How many other students have used Tutorful?
You're in good company! Over 200,000 students have used Tutorful to achieve their learning goals. We're proud to have over 4,100 customer reviews with an average rating of 4.6 stars.
