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!

In just a few weeks, my daughter’s confidence in both English and maths has grown so much thanks to Ria.
She's feeling much more prepared for her upcoming GCSEs.
Ria is super easy to communicate with, really flexible, and her lessons are always well-organised and focused.
She’s been such a great support — we’d definitely recommend her!

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.
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form place at NSB or NSG. Can a tutor help them get the top English Language grade they need?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for families we work with in Northampton. Our tutors are experienced in helping students move from a grade 5 or 6 towards a 7, 8, or 9. They focus specifically on the exam technique, analytical skills, and writing precision that top grades require, giving your child the best possible chance to meet those competitive entry requirements.
We're worried a standard pass in English Language will limit my child's options for universities like Warwick. How can a tutor help?
That's a valid concern. A strong GCSE in English Language is fundamental for applications to top universities, especially for essay-based degrees. A tutor can help your child develop the sophisticated analytical and communication skills that admissions tutors look for, not just in their grades but also in their personal statements.
Is online tutoring as effective for an essay-based subject like English Language?
Yes, many students find it even more effective. Our online classroom has interactive tools like a digital whiteboard for planning essays and the ability to collaboratively edit documents in real-time. This allows the tutor to give instant, precise feedback on your child's writing, sentence by sentence, which is incredibly powerful for making rapid progress.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are your tutors based in Northampton?
Our tutors are based all across the UK, not specifically in Northampton. This is the great advantage of online tutoring – your child isn't limited to tutors who live nearby. They get access to a much wider pool of subject specialists, including examiners and teachers with years of experience, from the comfort of your home.
How do you check your English Language tutors are high quality?
We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by a member of our team, has their ID and qualifications verified, and must have a valid DBS background check. We ensure they are not only subject experts but also brilliant, inspiring teachers.
How much does online English Language tutoring cost for a student in Northampton?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £25 to £50 depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone brilliant who fits your budget.
My child also needs help with English Literature. Do I need a different tutor?
Not necessarily. Many of our English tutors are experts in both Language and Literature and can support your child across the entire subject. You can check each tutor's profile to see the specific areas they cover, or use our filters to find someone who specialises in both.
What technology does my child need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our bespoke online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no software to download. It's designed to be as easy and intuitive as possible.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
Very quickly. You can browse tutor profiles, send messages to those you like, and book your first session in as little as 24 hours. Many tutors offer free 15-minute video chats so you can get to know them before booking, ensuring you find the perfect match for your child.
Can tutoring help with just exam technique and confidence, not the whole syllabus?
Of course. The tutoring is completely tailored to your child. If they have a good grasp of the content but struggle with timing, structuring answers, or staying calm under pressure, the tutor can focus entirely on those areas. It's all about providing the specific support they need to shine.
My other child is interested in learning a musical instrument. Do you offer tutoring for that?
Yes, we do! We have a huge range of tutors covering over 300 subjects, from core academics like maths and science to music, languages, coding, and art. You can find expert support for all your family's learning interests right here on Tutorful.
