The Right English Support for Your Child in Oswaldtwistle
We believe the best learning happens when a student feels understood. That's why our tutors take the time to get to know your child – how they learn, what they find difficult, and what their goals are. This isn't a one-size-fits-all approach; it's a partnership. We help you find a background-checked expert from our selective community, where only 1 in every 8 applicants is accepted. Every lesson is built around your child. If they're struggling with poetry analysis for their exams, the session will focus on that. If they need to practise essay writing, their tutor will provide targeted exercises and feedback. This focused, one-to-one attention is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, we can help improve their results by up to two grades. With our online classroom, you can find the perfect English tutor without worrying about travel. Lessons can be scheduled around your family's commitments, making it easy to fit that extra support into your week. With over 4,100 reviews from parents like you giving us 4.6 stars, you can feel confident you're in the right place.

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 Sixth Form. Can a tutor help them get the Grade 5 in English they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE English specialists. They can help your child target the specific skills and exam techniques needed to move from a Grade 4 to a strong Grade 5 or higher, giving them the best chance of meeting the entry requirements.
We're aiming for A-Levels at Accrington and Rossendale College. How can an English tutor support this goal?
A tutor can provide focused support to help your child secure the strong GCSE English grade needed for competitive A-Level programmes. They can build a plan that addresses any areas of weakness, from understanding 'Macbeth' to mastering punctuation, ensuring your child feels confident and prepared.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can use our filters to find tutors with experience in the specific area your child needs help with, such as GCSE exam preparation. Watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send a message to a few to find the perfect fit for your child's personality and learning style.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Oswaldtwistle?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level of study. You can easily filter by price to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget, with no hidden costs.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's just like learning in person, but more convenient. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
My child's confidence in English is very low. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild that self-belief, which is often the key to better grades.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every single tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and vetted professional.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English and Maths?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, pick up a new language, or even learn skills like coding, you can find a brilliant tutor on Tutorful.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which most families find works perfectly. However, you can discuss your child's needs with your chosen tutor, and they may be able to offer shorter or longer sessions if that would be more suitable.
What if our schedule is already really busy?
That's the great thing about online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of available times. You can easily find a tutor who can fit lessons in after school, in the evenings, or at the weekend to suit your family's routine.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you could have your child's first lesson booked for this week.
