How We Find the Right English Tutor for Your Child
We believe the best learning happens when a tutor truly understands your child. That's why we carefully select the UK's best tutors – accepting only 1 in 8 who apply – who are experts in their subject and skilled at building confidence. They’ll take the time to get to know your child's unique learning style and create a supportive space where they feel comfortable asking questions. Every online lesson is designed around your child's specific needs. If they find poetry analysis confusing or struggle to structure an essay, their tutor can dedicate the whole session to that one topic until it clicks. This focused approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we can help boost your child's GCSE results by up to two grades. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your week. With online tutoring, you can connect with the perfect English tutor from anywhere in the UK, without leaving home. Lessons are easy to schedule around your family's commitments, making it a simple and effective way to help your child. It's why over 4,100 parents have rated us 4.6 stars.

David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at Blackburn College. Can a tutor help them secure the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades. They can work with your child to build a solid understanding of the curriculum, improve their exam technique, and grow their confidence to help them secure the Grade 5 or above needed for their desired A-Level courses.
We're thinking long-term about universities like Lancaster or UCLan. How can English tuition help now?
A strong foundation in English at GCSE is crucial for university success. The analytical and communication skills your child develops now are exactly what top universities look for. A tutor helps embed these skills early, making the transition to A-Levels and higher education much smoother.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, which includes identity checks and enhanced DBS checks, to ensure they are safe to work with children.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, starting from around £15 per hour. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents seek a tutor. The one-to-one environment allows a tutor to provide patient, positive reinforcement. They can break down difficult topics into manageable steps, celebrating small wins along the way to rebuild your child's self-belief.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and diagrams, and a space to upload documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor improve my child's exam technique?
Our tutors can teach your child practical strategies for tackling exams. This includes time management, how to break down complex questions, planning essay structures, and understanding what examiners are looking for to earn top marks.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find a weekly session works best to build momentum, but the frequency is completely up to you. You can schedule lessons at times that fit around your family's other commitments.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or mastering public speaking.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they enjoy, what they find tricky in English, and what they'd like to achieve. It's a relaxed session focused on building a good relationship and setting some initial goals.
