Why Strong English Skills Pave the Way for Your Child's Future Success
English plays a central role in almost every subject your child studies. Beyond exams, it shapes how they think, communicate and express ideas. Strong English skills help students analyse complex texts, structure clear arguments and write with confidence, all of which are essential for success at GCSE, A-Level and beyond.
For many students, English becomes challenging when expectations increase. Analysing literature, responding to unseen texts or mastering essay structure can feel overwhelming without individual guidance. A supportive English tutor in Hampstead can help break these skills down, making them easier to understand and apply.
Confidence in English also supports wider academic success. When students feel comfortable expressing their ideas, they often participate more in lessons and approach assessments with greater calm and clarity.
Expert English Support, Designed for Your Child
Tutorful connects families with experienced, carefully vetted tutors who know how to support both academic progress and confidence. Only a small proportion of applicants are accepted, and all tutors are thoroughly checked before joining the platform.
Sessions are fully one-to-one and tailored to your child’s goals. Tutors can support grammar, comprehension, essay writing, exam preparation or deeper literary analysis, depending on what your child needs most. Lessons move at a pace that feels manageable, helping students build confidence step by step.
Parents often notice improvements not just in grades, but in attitude towards English. Students become more willing to engage with texts, tackle writing tasks and share their ideas. Many go on to improve by at least one grade, supported by regular, focused guidance.
With Tutorful, you are choosing thoughtful, personalised support that helps your child feel capable and prepared, whatever stage they are at.

Flora I
Flora is an outstanding teacher. When your kid comes out of an English session saying, “That was so much fun,” you know you’ve found a tutor who knows their stuff and knows how to truly engage their student.
Our daughter was already high-achieving in other academic areas but her written work needed some support. The purpose of English tutoring was to keep her engaged while continuing to work towards top grades. Flora does this brilliantly. She tailors each lesson to the student’s needs and explains both structure and content with exceptional clarity.
We’ve been so impressed that we’ve also signed our son up for lessons. I would highly recommend Flora, especially for students who need to be stretched while still enjoying learning.

John has been an excellent English IGCSE tutor. He is very organised, enthusiastic and communicates clearly. He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them. John is helping her to build confidence, structure exam answers and prepare effectively for revision, and I feel the tutoring will be very beneficial in the run-up to her exams.

Ben has been a great tutor for my 16 year old doing his English GCSEs. Ben's tuition has improved my son's grade from a 4 up to between a 5-8, depending on the topic, in just a few months. He has also hugely improved his confidence, and his writing ability in other subjects such as History has improved as well. Ben has a relaxed, respectful and friendly approach that my son has really gotten on with, and he is enjoying feeling more confident for his English Language and Literature exams this year. I highly recommend Ben for your child's tuition.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can an online English tutor help my child achieve top grades for selective sixth forms in Hampstead?
Absolutely. Our tutors understand the high standards required by selective institutions. They can provide targeted support in areas like advanced literary analysis, complex essay writing, and critical thinking skills, helping your child aim for those crucial 8s and 9s in GCSE English Language and Literature. Many of our tutors have experience supporting students applying to prestigious sixth forms.
How can an English tutor help my child stand out for competitive university courses?
A strong grasp of English is fundamental for elite university applications, especially for humanities. A tutor can help your child develop sophisticated analytical and argumentative skills, refine their personal statements, and even explore broader literary and critical concepts beyond the curriculum, giving them a distinct advantage and the confidence to articulate their ideas effectively.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like creative writing or public speaking?
While we excel at academic support, our English tutors can also help your child develop a wide range of related skills. Whether it's fostering their creative writing abilities, improving their public speaking confidence, or enhancing their critical thinking for everyday life, we have tutors who can tailor lessons to these broader personal development goals.
What if my child doesn't get on with their English tutor?
We want you and your child to feel completely comfortable. 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 pick an English tutor for my child?
We make it easy. You can browse our diverse selection of English tutors, read their profiles, see their qualifications, and view parent reviews. You can also send them a message to chat about your child's specific needs before booking a lesson. We encourage finding someone whose teaching style truly connects with your child.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Tutor rates vary depending on their experience, qualifications, and the subject level. You'll see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile, so you can choose an expert that fits your budget. There are no hidden fees, and you only pay for the lessons your child takes.
How can an English tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without fear, make mistakes, and celebrate small victories. A dedicated English tutor can identify specific areas where your child struggles, build foundational knowledge, and gradually challenge them, fostering a sense of accomplishment that naturally boosts their confidence in English and beyond.
What specific subject areas do English tutors cover?
Our English tutors cover a broad spectrum, from Primary English and 11+ preparation to GCSE English Language and Literature (including specific exam boards like AQA, Edexcel, OCR), A-Level English Literature and Language, and even university-level English. Whatever your child needs help with, we likely have an expert for them.
How do online English lessons work?
It's straightforward! Your child connects with their tutor through our interactive online classroom, which features a virtual whiteboard, document sharing, and video chat. All lessons are recorded, so your child can revisit them anytime for revision. It's a flexible and engaging way to learn from the comfort of your home.
Are the online English tutors qualified and vetted?
Yes, absolutely. We're very selective. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to Tutorful, and every single tutor undergoes a thorough vetting process, including enhanced DBS checks (Disclosure and Barring Service) and verification of their qualifications and experience. Your child's safety and quality of education are our top priorities.
Can tutoring help with exam preparation for English GCSEs and A-Levels?
Definitely. Our English tutors are experts in exam board requirements and can provide targeted support for GCSE and A-Level English. They'll help your child with revision strategies, essay planning, understanding mark schemes, tackling unseen texts, and practicing past papers, ensuring they feel fully prepared and confident on exam day.
How quickly will I see my child improve with an English tutor?
Improvement timelines can vary, as every child learns at their own pace. However, many parents report seeing increased confidence and understanding in their child after just a few sessions. With consistent, tailored support, 90% of our students see an improvement of at least one grade, and for GCSE English specifically, we often see students jump by up to two grades.
