The Right Support for Your Child's English Goals
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That's why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring they are all experts and have been background-checked. A great tutor takes the time to understand how your child learns, building a positive and encouraging relationship where your child feels safe to ask questions and make progress at their own pace. Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they're struggling with algebra in Maths, their tutor will focus on that. For English, they might spend a session mastering poetry analysis or planning the perfect essay structure. This targeted support is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs, we can help them improve by up to two grades.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for Walbottle Academy or Gosforth Academy. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades they need for their chosen sixth form. They can focus specifically on the GCSE English syllabus, helping your child build confidence in areas they find tricky to boost their final grade.
Can a tutor help my child with a future application to a university like Newcastle or Durham?
Many of our English tutors have experience supporting students with their personal statements and wider university application skills. Building strong essay writing and critical thinking skills during their GCSEs is the perfect foundation for a compelling application later on.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before booking. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has experience in the specific area you need help with, like GCSE exam technique.
How much does an online English tutor cost in Throckley?
The price for English tutors varies depending on their experience. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an excellent tutor that fits your family's budget.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all pass a background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might use the whiteboard to break down a tricky quote from 'An Inspector Calls' or share practice exam questions for your child to work through together.
How can an English tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space works wonders for confidence. When a child feels heard and understood by their tutor, they're more likely to ask questions and tackle challenging topics, which helps them see that they are capable of making real progress.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number. Some parents use tutors for a short-term boost before an exam, while others prefer weekly lessons to provide consistent support throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals directly with your chosen tutor.
What if we don't get on with our first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach skills like coding, playing the guitar, learning a new language, or even public speaking. There's something for everyone.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today! Many of our tutors respond in under an hour. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to check their availability, and you could have your first lesson booked for this week.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring companies?
We focus on finding the perfect one-to-one match for your child. With over 4,100+ customer reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, parents trust us to provide high-quality, personalised, and safe online learning that genuinely helps their children succeed.
