Opening Doors to Your Child's Future with English

Strong English skills are more than just a pass; they are the key that unlocks your child’s future choices. A good grade in English Language GCSE is often a requirement for the most academic A-Level subjects. The skills they learn – from analysing a poem to building a persuasive argument – are exactly what universities like Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University look for. It’s about giving them the tools to think critically and communicate clearly for the rest of their lives.

Jessica is a kind and patient tutor and I would highly recommend her. My daughter has already started to improve in English and feels more confident with her work. She explains things clearly and makes the lessons enjoyable – in my daughter’s words, she is “sweet, nice and very good at teaching.”

My son had a few English GCSE lessons with Ian now and he’s been great. He explains things clearly, is very patient, and always gives helpful feedback. He even stays a bit longer sometimes to finish the lesson properly. Really appreciate his support! Joanna

Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning. Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching. I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child prepare for the AQE and GL transfer tests?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience with the verbal reasoning components of the 11+ transfer tests. They can help your child build confidence with the question formats and develop effective techniques to feel prepared.

My child hopes to study at Queen's University Belfast. How can an English tutor support this goal?

Yes. A strong A-Level English grade is fantastic for a university application. Our tutors can provide in-depth support with complex texts and essay skills, helping your child aim for the grades needed for competitive courses at Queen's or Ulster University.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to make sure you find the perfect fit.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We know that finding the right personality match is key. 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.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check (or equivalent). We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join us.

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 a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

How much do online English tutors cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.

My child is quite shy. How can a tutor help them?

One-to-one tuition is often perfect for quieter children. It provides a safe, supportive space where they can ask questions without feeling overlooked. Our tutors are brilliant at building rapport and gently encouraging students to grow in confidence.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?

We offer tutors for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum! From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding in Python or even speaking a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help your child explore their passions.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time. Many parents tell us they see a change not just in their child's grades, but in their enthusiasm for the subject too.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

Lessons are typically one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. You can arrange the frequency of lessons directly with your chosen tutor to fit your family's schedule.

What happens if we need to cancel a lesson?

We have a simple 12-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule a lesson without being charged. It's designed to be flexible for busy families.
