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.

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 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.
