Expert Online English Tutors in Kippax to Help Your Child Thrive
We know how much you want your child to do well, especially with the competitive entry for respected sixth forms like Elliott Hudson College. It can be worrying to think about them needing a strong grade 5 or above in GCSE English to keep their A-Level and university options open, particularly if they're at a large local school like Garforth Academy or Brigshaw High.
That's where one-to-one online English tuition can make all the difference. A dedicated tutor can give your child the focused attention and support they need to build confidence, master tricky topics, and feel fully prepared for their exams.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to go to Elliott Hudson College. Can a tutor help them secure the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many parents in Kippax share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target specific grades, like a grade 5 or above in GCSE English. They can focus on exam technique, coursework, and strengthening key areas to help your child meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms.
We're thinking about the University of Leeds. How can an English tutor help with that long-term goal?
That's a fantastic goal. A strong foundation in English is essential for university-level study. A tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking, essay writing, and analytical skills they'll need for A-Levels and to write a compelling personal statement for their university application.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our highest priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring work? What do we need?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing to make learning engaging and effective.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor provides a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in class. This personalised support is fantastic for building self-esteem.
How long until we see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our approach is designed for progress. With consistent weekly lessons, many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising exam questions, analysing quotes from a set text like 'An Inspector Calls', or planning an essay. The tutor will focus on whatever will help your child the most.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. As well as core subjects like English and Maths, you can find expert tutors for skills like coding, learning the guitar, public speaking, and much more.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are simple and secure. You add your card details to your account, and you're only charged 24 hours after each lesson is complete. You can easily track all your payments and lesson history from your dashboard.
