Why English Skills Pave the Way for Your Child's Future Success
English isn't just a subject; it's a cornerstone for critical thinking, communication, and understanding the world around us. For your child, mastering English means more than just passing exams. It's about developing the skills to confidently analyse complex texts like Shakespeare's Macbeth, craft compelling arguments in essays, and express themselves clearly and persuasively. These abilities are vital for securing places in top sixth forms, excelling in competitive A-Level English, and ultimately, standing out in applications for elite university humanities or other demanding courses, ensuring they have every opportunity to thrive.

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
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 subjects 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.
