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...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

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.
