English Language English National 5 and Higher
My background is in teaching literature / language / literacy and ESL. I am PGDE qualified (secondary English), and have a PVG certificate from Disclosure Scotland. I prepare students for National 5 / Higher exams and support literacy with BGE students. I have experience teaching in Scottish secondary schools and individually tutoring students who are building the skills and strategies needed to pass national exams. I enjoy connecting with young people and providing them with examples and strategies which help them to feel more confident when answering questions about different types of texts....
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 studying for their CCEA English Language GCSEs. Can we find a tutor familiar with this specific curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have extensive experience with the CCEA curriculum. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specify their expertise in CCEA exams, ensuring the support your child receives is perfectly aligned with what they're learning in their Northern Ireland school.
We live in a rural part of Northern Ireland. How does online tutoring help us access the best support?
This is one of the biggest advantages of online tutoring. It removes geography from the equation. From anywhere in Northern Ireland, your child can connect with a top English specialist from across the UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby. It opens up a huge choice of expertise for your family.
Is online tutoring as effective as meeting a tutor in person?
Yes, and many families prefer it! Online lessons offer the same dedicated, one-to-one focus as in-person tutoring, but with added flexibility. Tutors use interactive tools like digital whiteboards to make learning engaging. Plus, with no travel time, it's easier to fit quality support into a busy week.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English Language tutor?
Finding the right personality fit is crucial for a great learning partnership. We understand that. If the first session with a tutor isn't quite right, just email our friendly support team at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
How much do online English Language tutors for students in Northern Ireland cost?
Our English Language tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How will I know if my child is making progress with their tutor?
It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor. Tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress, highlighting areas of improvement and next steps. You can also message your tutor at any time through the platform. The best sign, though, is often seeing your child's confidence grow day by day.
How do you select your English Language tutors? Are they qualified?
We're very selective because we know how important trust is. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform. Every tutor is background-checked, and we verify their ID and qualifications. You can read reviews from other parents on each tutor's profile to help you choose.
My child loves creative writing but isn't preparing for an exam. Do you offer tutoring for that too?
Yes, definitely! Tutoring isn't just for exams. We have many tutors who are passionate about nurturing a love for language and creativity. Whether it's poetry, short stories, or simply finding their unique writing style, we can connect your child with a tutor who can inspire them.
What technology do we need for an online tutoring session?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to install. It's designed to be easy and intuitive for everyone.
How often should my child have a tutoring session to see a real difference?
Most students benefit from a one-hour session each week to build momentum and consolidate their learning. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent sessions leading up to an exam, or less frequent ones for general confidence building. You can discuss the best plan with your chosen tutor.
Can a tutor help with my child's confidence in English, not just their grades?
This is at the heart of what we do. When a child works one-to-one with a tutor who understands them, they start to see that they *can* do it. That belief is transformative. Many of the 200,000+ students we've helped have told us the biggest change wasn't just in their grades, but in how they felt about themselves.
Are there tutors who can help my child explore Northern Ireland's rich literary heritage as part of their studies?
What a fantastic idea! Many of our English tutors have a deep love for literature and would be delighted to explore the works of poets like Seamus Heaney or authors like C.S. Lewis with your child. You can mention this interest when you message potential tutors to find someone who shares that passion.
