How Great English Skills Can Shape Your Child's Future
Strong English skills are about more than just passing an exam; they're the foundation for success. It's the ability to communicate ideas clearly, think critically, and understand the world more deeply. These are the skills your child will use to master creative writing for the 11+, analyse complex texts like 'An Inspector Calls' for their GCSEs at Thurstable, and later, write a compelling university application to places like the University of Essex and beyond.

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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
We're aiming for a place at Colchester Royal Grammar or County High. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build the specific comprehension, grammar, and creative writing skills needed for these selective exams, while also working on their confidence and exam technique.
My child is at Thurstable. Can a tutor help them get the top GCSE English grades for university?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can provide focused support to help your child aim for the highest grades. They can help consolidate classroom learning, revise key texts, and perfect the skills needed to write top-scoring essays, which is great preparation for A-Levels and university applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have a 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 do online English tutors in Tiptree cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from £15 an hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting just 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home, with all their lesson materials saved in one place.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. As they start to grasp tricky topics and see their skills improve, their self-belief naturally grows. This boost in confidence often has a positive impact on their other subjects too.
My child finds analysing Macbeth really difficult. Can a tutor focus just on that?
Of course. That's the main benefit of one-to-one tutoring. The lessons are completely tailored to your child. The tutor can spend as much time as needed on specific areas, whether it's understanding Shakespearean language, analysing quotes, or structuring an essay.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths by discussing it directly with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you can book your first session. Many families are able to find a tutor and have their first lesson within a day or two.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like music or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core academic ones. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with Python coding, or even learn a new language, you can find brilliant, expert tutors on our platform.
