How can an English Language tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tutoring creates a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions and explore ideas without pressure. Tutors tailor lessons to their pace, celebrating small wins and gradually tackling challenges, which significantly boosts their self-belief in subjects like essay writing and critical analysis.

Our virtual classroom has interactive whiteboards, document sharing, and video chat, making it perfect for dissecting texts, planning essays, and discussing ideas. Plus, it offers greater flexibility and access to a wider pool of expert tutors.

What are your tutors like, and how are they vetted?

We're very selective! We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring we have the best, most dedicated educators. Every tutor undergoes a rigorous vetting process, including enhanced background checks (DBS), to ensure your child is learning in a safe and supportive environment.

They can help your child hone their techniques to meet those higher academic expectations.

How can an English Language tutor help my child with university applications, especially for institutions like Durham University?

A strong foundation in English Language is vital for university.
