The Right Support to Help Your Child Feel Confident in English
We believe the best learning happens when a tutor truly understands your child. That's why our tutors take the time to get to know them – their strengths, their worries, and how they learn best. This personal connection means they can tailor their teaching, turning 'I can't do this' into 'I understand'. Every online lesson is designed around your child's exact needs. If they're struggling with poetry analysis for their GCSEs, that's what the lesson will focus on. If they need to practise structuring their creative writing, their tutor will build a session around that. This targeted approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your family's stress. With our online platform, you can find a brilliant, background-checked English tutor and arrange lessons that fit perfectly around school, clubs, and family life. All from the comfort of your home in Clayton-le-Moors.

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.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to St Christopher's in Accrington. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE specialists and have experience helping students secure the grades they need for their chosen sixth form. They can focus on the specific skills your child needs to improve, whether it's exam technique or understanding the marking criteria, to aim for that crucial grade 5 or higher.
We're hoping our child will eventually apply to a university like Lancaster or Manchester. How can tutoring now help with that?
Strong A-Level and GCSE grades are vital for applications to competitive universities. An English tutor can build a solid foundation of critical thinking and analytical skills that will not only help them through their GCSEs but will also be essential for success at A-Level and in their future university studies.
What if my child doesn't click with their first 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 first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from Primary up to A-Level, we also have talented tutors who can teach a wide range of skills, from learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview every applicant and are very selective – we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
My child's confidence in English is really low. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics into manageable steps can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can use our filters to narrow down tutors by experience, price, and availability. We recommend reading their profiles, checking their reviews from other parents, and watching their introductory videos. You can also message a few tutors beforehand to find the best match for your child's personality and learning needs.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. It’s simple to use and means your child can learn effectively from the comfort of home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Most families start with one session a week, especially when preparing for exams like GCSEs. You can discuss what works best directly with your chosen tutor.
Can tutoring really improve my child's grades?
Yes, we see fantastic results. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs specifically, private tutoring can help improve your child's results by up to two grades, making a real impact on their future options.
What does my child need to prepare for their first lesson?
Nothing specific is required, but it’s helpful if your child can tell the tutor what they're currently working on at school or any specific topics they find tricky. The first session is usually about getting to know each other and setting some goals together.
