Supportive Online English Tutors for Your Child in Billericay
We know how much pressure there is in Billericay to secure a place at a top sixth form like The Billericay School or Mayflower High. It's completely understandable to worry that a lower-than-expected grade in GCSE English could limit your child's A-Level choices and future university options.
Finding the right one-to-one English tutor can make all the difference. It’s about giving your child a dedicated expert who can help them build real confidence, master the skills they need to succeed, and ease some of that academic pressure for both of you.

Why a Strong English Grade is Key to Your Child's Future
More than just a subject, a strong grade in English Language and Literature is a gateway qualification that opens doors. It's what competitive sixth forms and top Russell Group universities look for. The ability to analyse a tricky quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive essay doesn't just help pass exams—it builds the critical thinking and communication skills that will help your child thrive in their A-Levels, at university, and in their future career.

Janan S
Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

Alexander A
We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for The Billericay School or Mayflower High. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grades they need?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students secure the high grades needed for competitive sixth form entry. They can focus on specific exam board requirements, strengthen essay writing skills, and build your child's confidence in tackling challenging texts to help them meet those entry requirements.
We live near Billericay and are worried about the Chelmsford grammar school entrance exams. Can a tutor help?
Yes. We have tutors who are experienced in preparing children for 11+ and other grammar school entrance exams. They can help your child get familiar with the format of the English papers, build their vocabulary, and improve their comprehension and writing skills, giving them the best possible preparation.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals. Finding someone your child feels comfortable with is the most important first step.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and has had their ID and qualifications verified. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £40 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Sometimes all a child needs is a bit of one-to-one attention. A tutor can go over topics at your child's pace, celebrate their small wins, and create a safe space where they feel comfortable asking questions. This personalised support is often the key to building lasting confidence.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or music?
It's for all sorts of learning! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, you can also find experts to help your child learn skills like coding, playing the guitar, or even learning a new language.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one lesson a week works well, but it's completely up to you. You can discuss what would be most helpful with your chosen tutor. The schedule is flexible and can be adapted to fit around your child's needs and other commitments.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts, like Shakespeare or poetry?
Definitely. Our English tutors are experts in the curriculum and can provide focused support on any area your child finds difficult, whether it's analysing the poetry anthology, understanding a Shakespeare play, or getting to grips with a 19th-century novel.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss how things are going. Many parents tell us they see a real difference not just in test scores, but in their child's overall enthusiasm for the subject.
