Alexandra P
Enthusiastic and dedicated English Language Tutor
I hold a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies, where I explored a range of educational approaches including Steiner, Froebel, Montessori and Reggio Emilia. I believe every child learns differently, so I tailor my teaching to support each student as an individual, drawing on these philosophies to guide my methods and create lessons that are engaging, structured and purposeful. Since 2017, I’ve helped children prepare for 7+, 8+, 11+, KS2 SATs and ISEB Common Entrance exams, supporting many to achieve places at schools such as the Royal Grammar School, Queen’s College and St Paul’s Prep. I also ...

Hi there! I’m Elandra, an undergraduate at University College London (UCL). I completed my IB Diploma in 2022.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for the 11+ for grammar schools near Orpington. Can an online tutor help with this?

Absolutely. Many of our English Language tutors are highly experienced in preparing students for the 11+ and other entrance exams. They can build a tailored programme for your child, focusing on comprehension, creative writing, and verbal reasoning skills needed to feel confident and prepared for the tests used by schools in the Bromley area.

Is online English tutoring as effective as meeting a tutor in person?

Yes, and for many families in Orpington, it's even better. Online lessons use interactive tools like whiteboards and document sharing that make learning engaging. The biggest advantage is access; your child can learn from a subject specialist from anywhere in the UK, not just who happens to live nearby. Plus, the convenience of learning from home saves you time and travel stress.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English Language tutor?

Finding the right personality match is essential. We're so committed to this that we have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't feel the first tutor is the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

Are your tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Bromley schools?

Our tutors are experts in the UK national curriculum, including the specific requirements for GCSE and A-Level exam boards like AQA and Edexcel. Whilst they aren't based in Orpington, they have extensive experience supporting students from all school types to meet and exceed their academic targets.

How do you ensure your English Language tutors are high quality?

We're very selective because we know how much trust you're placing in us. We accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by a subject specialist, DBS-checked, and has their qualifications and references verified, so you can be sure your child is learning from a true professional.

My child loves creative writing but struggles with analytical essays. Can we find a specialist?

Of course. The beauty of our UK-wide network is the range of specialists available. You can browse tutor profiles to find someone who not only excels in teaching essay structure and analysis but also shares a passion for creative writing, helping to connect the two skills for your child.

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 runs directly in your browser, so there's no complex software to install. It's designed to be as easy and intuitive as possible.

How much does online English Language tutoring for a student in Orpington cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £25, based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.

How flexible are the lesson times? My child has a lot of after-school clubs.

Very flexible. This is one of the main reasons parents love online tutoring. You can arrange sessions for evenings, weekends, or whenever suits your family's busy schedule. You agree on times directly with your tutor, making it easy to fit lessons around other commitments.

How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's English skills?

Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one focus means progress can happen quickly. Often, the first thing parents notice is a boost in confidence within just a few sessions. This newfound self-belief is the foundation for achieving better results in class and in exams.

Beyond English, what other subjects do you offer tutoring for?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! From core academic subjects like maths and science at all levels, to languages, music, coding, and even professional development skills. Whatever your child is curious about, we can likely connect you with a fantastic online tutor.

Could a tutor help my child explore literature connected to Kent or London's history?

That's a brilliant way to make learning more engaging! Many of our tutors love to bring the subject to life by exploring regional authors and historical contexts. You can discuss this with potential tutors to find someone who can help your child connect their studies to the rich literary heritage of the South East.
