English Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're aiming for a Salisbury grammar school. Can a tutor help my child with the 11+ English exam?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build the specific comprehension, creative writing, and grammar skills needed to feel confident and prepared for the exam.

My child hopes to go to a university like Exeter or Bristol. Can a tutor help with their A-Level English?

Definitely. Our A-Level English tutors are brilliant at helping students master complex texts and refine their essay-writing skills. They can also provide invaluable support with personal statements, helping your child articulate their passion for the subject in their university application.

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

It's easy to find the perfect match on Tutorful. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their experience, see qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors for free before booking to make sure they're the right fit for your child's personality and goals.

How much does an online English tutor in Shaftesbury cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.

My child has lost confidence in English. How can a tutor help?

This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, patient, and encouraging environment where there are no silly questions. By working at your child's pace, they can help rebuild their self-belief and rediscover a love for the subject.

How do you ensure your tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an interview, provide professional and character references, and undergo a background check before they can teach on our platform.

Can a tutor really help improve my child's GCSE English grade?

Yes. Personalised attention makes a huge difference. Tutors can identify and focus on your child's specific areas of weakness, which isn't always possible in a busy classroom. This tailored support is why we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We want to make sure your child has the best possible learning experience, and the right connection is a huge part of that. Under 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 do the online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for them to learn from the comfort of your home.

How often should my child have a lesson?

It's completely up to you and what works for your family. Many parents find that a one-hour lesson each week provides the consistency needed for steady progress, but you can arrange sessions as frequently as you feel your child needs.

What happens in a typical first lesson?

The first session is usually a chance for the tutor to get to know your child and understand their strengths and the areas they find tricky. They'll chat about your child's goals and create a plan for future lessons. It's a relaxed way to start building a positive learning relationship.

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

While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or piano to mastering new languages or coding, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
