We know how competitive it can be to secure a place at top local schools like The Charter School East Dulwich or Harris Academy Peckham.

Finding the right one-to-one support can make all the difference. An experienced English tutor can work with your child to build their confidence, sharpen their analytical skills, and help them produce the high-quality essays needed to stand out.

Why Strong English Skills Are Key for Their Next Steps
A strong GCSE in English is more than just a qualification; it’s the key that unlocks the door to your child's chosen A-Level courses and future university ambitions. It's the ability to analyse a complex quote from 'An Inspector Calls' or structure a persuasive argument that admissions tutors look for. These are the foundational skills that will not only help them succeed in their exams but will also give them the confidence to thrive in higher education and beyond.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to get into The Charter School East Dulwich for sixth form. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the specific entry requirements for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the exact skills your child needs to turn a potential grade 5 into the 6 or 7 required, building their confidence for the exams.
We're thinking ahead to university. Can a tutor help my child with the essay-writing skills needed for an application to a top London university like UCL?
Yes, definitely. Our English tutors can go beyond the curriculum to develop the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills that impress university admissions teams. They can help your child learn how to structure compelling arguments and articulate their ideas clearly, which is vital for applications to institutions like UCL or King's College.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. 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.
Is tutoring just for core school subjects? My other child is interested in learning to code.
Not at all! While we have experts for academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, speak Spanish, or get to grips with Python, we can help.
There are so many tutors. How do I choose the right one for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. Many parents message a few tutors first to discuss their child's needs before booking. It's all about finding the right personality and teaching style for your child.
How much does an English tutor in Peckham cost?
Prices are set by the individual tutors and vary based on their experience. 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 – you simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
My child's confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help with that?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one environment provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, like analysing Shakespeare, into manageable steps, which really helps to build self-belief.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a function for sharing documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We also interview every tutor to ensure they are the right fit for our platform. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and many families find it even more effective! Online lessons are focused, free from distractions, and all session materials are saved for your child to review anytime. Plus, you have access to a wider range of expert tutors, not just those who live nearby. It's why over 200,000 students have happily used Tutorful.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
You can chat with the tutor through our messaging system to get regular updates. Many tutors set clear goals at the start and will feed back on your child's progress after each session. You'll also see their growing confidence and improved results in their schoolwork.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually ideal for keeping your child engaged. Most students have one session per week, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your family and your child’s needs directly with your chosen tutor.
