Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form like Northampton School for Boys. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary English grade?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive schools and sixth forms. They can focus specifically on the skills needed to move from a pass to a grade 6 or above, giving your child the best possible chance of securing their place.
Are your tutors familiar with the GCSE English curriculum taught in Northampton schools?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in the national curriculum for GCSE English Language and Literature, covering all major exam boards like AQA and Edexcel used by schools across the country, including those in Northampton. They can tailor sessions to the specific texts and skills your child is studying.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a short introductory chat to discuss your child's needs. Finding someone your child connects with is key to building their confidence.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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.
How can an online tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tuition creates a safe space for your child to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in a busy classroom. This personalised attention helps them overcome hurdles, celebrate small wins, and build the self-belief they need to succeed.
How much does an online English tutor in Northampton cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
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. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All your child needs 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 includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing.
How quickly can my child see an improvement in their English grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our focused, one-to-one approach is designed for progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to suit your child's needs.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
It's for both! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for hobbies and skills like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even speaking a new language.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about their goals, what they find difficult in English, and what they enjoy. This helps the tutor create a personalised learning plan that will work best for them.
