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

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.
