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. With online tutoring, you can find the perfect English specialist from anywhere in the UK, without leaving your home in Throckley. Lessons are flexible and can be scheduled to fit around your family's busy life. It's simple, secure, and trusted by over 200,000 happy students and their families.

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.
