A great grade in English Language and Literature gives your child the confidence and ability to excel in their A-Levels and write compelling applications for competitive courses at Russell Group universities in London and across the South East.

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 is aiming for specific A-Levels. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grades?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in East Grinstead seek support. An English tutor can work with your child to target the specific skills needed to secure a grade 7, 8, or 9, ensuring they have the best possible chance of getting onto their chosen A-Level courses.
We're worried about our child's chances for a Russell Group university. How can an English tutor help?
A great English tutor helps build the foundational skills that top universities value most: critical thinking, clear communication, and strong essay writing. This support not only helps with their immediate exams but also prepares them to write a standout personal statement and handle the academic demands of a competitive degree course.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific goals. Finding someone your child connects with is key to building their confidence.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 much does online English tutoring 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 costs or sign-up fees.
Are your tutors properly checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Often, a lack of confidence comes from not understanding a key concept. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down big challenges, which helps your child feel more capable and in control of their learning.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, most of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both parts of the GCSE curriculum. You can check their profiles for specific expertise or message them directly to discuss how they can support your child across both subjects.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
A typical lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a review of a recent school topic, move on to practising a specific exam technique like analysing unseen fiction, and end with setting a small goal for the next session. It's always interactive and focused on your child.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Consistent lessons help build momentum, and 90% of our students improve their academic results by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or master a new language, you can find a friendly expert to help them.
