John H
Experienced English Language tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...
Leigh worked with our teenage son to prepare for his English Language iGCSE. With only a short time before the exam, they quickly developed a constructive rapport. Leigh was quickly able to assess where our son ‘was at’ in terms of his readiness for that exam. Over just a few sessions, analysis and writing skills were imparted and developed that meant our son felt prepared. Moreover, our son so enjoyed the way Leigh worked and his obvious passion for and skills in language analysis, that he chose to continue language analysis sessions just for the fun of it once the exam was over. A comment our son has made more than once after a session is, ‘I just love learning!’ The exam was passed really well – the outcome we hoped would be possible – but more significantly, we are grateful for Leigh’s ability to really draw out and develop our son’s enjoyment of the English language.

Ihsanur R
Last Year I did not do well in English Language in which I had a Grade 3. With my November resits fast approaching I felt very privileged to have Ihsanur as my tutor. He was able to present lessons in a concise way which helped me understand what went well and what I needed to improve on.
After the November resits I managed to obtain a Grade 4 in English Language AQA. I would really recommend him for those taking the GCSE 2026 because he is committed and dedicated in order to achieve academic potential with pupils. Thanks again Ihsanur for the hard work you do.

Smita Paneru S
I can’t recommend Smita enough! After struggling and retaking my English Language exam twice before she’s the only tutor who has truly managed to teach me in a way that makes everything click. She explains things clearly and in a way that actually makes sense. Smita never made me feel judged for needing extra help. She is an genuinly an incredible tutor who genuinely cares about her students’ progress. I honestly wish I’d found her sooner! I can’t thank her enough for helping me. :)

Flora I
Flora has been helping Isla prepare for her English Literature and English Language GCSE exams. From the first lesson, Flora “clicked” with Isla and quickly understood her needs. She made Isla feel comfortable and pinpointed areas for development and was so supportive. Isla felt at ease and could ask questions knowing that the necessary time would be taken to help her understand. Flora was incredibly accommodating, adjusting lesson times and dates as needed. She was also very responsive to messages and promptly returned marked work, going above and beyond to support us. Isla’s work was annotated and marked, providing valuable feedback and areas for future focus, which has been invaluable. Flora’s passion for the subject shone through, thank you so much Flora!

Brilliant English Language tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
How can an online tutor support my child's English GCSE studies at their school in Blackburn?
Our tutors are experts in the national curriculum, including the AQA and Edexcel exam boards commonly taught in Blackburn schools. They can create a tailored plan that complements your child's schoolwork, focusing on specific areas like essay structure, textual analysis, or exam technique to help them feel prepared and confident for their GCSEs.
My child lives in Blackburn. Can a tutor help them appreciate Lancashire's literary heritage?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors love bringing the subject to life by exploring local connections. For a student in Blackburn, they could explore the work of local poets like William Billington or discuss how the region's industrial history has been portrayed in literature, making their studies feel more relevant and engaging.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person tutoring?
Yes, and for many families, it's even better. Online sessions are focused and interactive, using tools like shared whiteboards to work through problems together. The biggest advantage is access; your child in Blackburn can connect with a subject specialist from anywhere in the UK, rather than being limited to who is available locally.
What happens if my child and their first English Language tutor don't quite click?
Finding the right personality match is key to a great partnership. We have a first lesson guarantee for this very reason. If it doesn't feel like the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do you vet your English Language tutors?
We're incredibly selective because we know how much trust you're placing in us. We interview every tutor, verify their ID and check their background with a DBS certificate. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants, ensuring your child learns from a highly qualified and experienced professional.
My child is more interested in creative writing. Can a tutor help with that?
Of course! Tutoring isn't just for exams. We have many tutors who are passionate about creative writing and can help your child develop their storytelling skills, build characters, and find their unique voice. We also offer tutoring in hundreds of other subjects, from coding to music.
My child's confidence in English is very low. How does a tutor approach this?
Rebuilding confidence is the first step. A tutor will start by finding out what your child enjoys and celebrating small wins. They create a supportive, judgement-free space where your child feels safe to try, make mistakes, and learn. Often, seeing that they *can* improve with the right support is the biggest confidence boost of all.
How much do online English Language lessons cost for a student in Blackburn?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study (e.g., GCSE, A-Level). You can browse profiles and filter by price to find a great tutor who fits your budget.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is built into our website, so there's no complex software to download. It's designed to be easy and intuitive to use.
Can we get help with specific A-Level texts like Shakespeare or modern poetry?
Yes. Many of our tutors are A-Level specialists with deep knowledge of the specific texts on the syllabus. You can check their profiles for experience with the texts your child is studying to find the perfect expert to guide them through the analysis.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how frequent should they be?
Most sessions are one hour long, which we find is perfect for maintaining focus and making progress. Most students have one session per week, but you can arrange a schedule that works for your child and your family directly with your chosen tutor. There's no minimum commitment.
Do we have to book a block of lessons upfront?
Not at all. We believe in flexibility. You can book lessons one at a time to fit around your schedule and budget. There are no contracts or long-term commitments, so you're always in complete control.
