Alice A
English Language Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

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!

Jen has built a good relationship with my son and quickly identified what he needed to focus on to enable him to pass his English resit. He is engaged with lessons, he enjoys them and completes work set. He absolutely has benefitted from the 1 on 1 time these lessons give him.

Jessica C
Our son has had four lessons in English Language and English Literature with Jessica so far, as he’s sitting his GCSEs this year. It’s clear Jessica has a strong background and is truly in the right profession—she knows exactly what’s needed and structures each lesson to cover any gaps. She explains everything clearly, focuses on exam technique, and is patient and supportive. Our son enjoys the lessons and already feels more confident. We’re planning to continue and are very glad to have Jessica as his tutor. We highly recommend her!

asked questions
See all FAQs
Can an online English Language tutor help my child prepare for Plymouth's grammar school 11+ exams?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping children prepare for entrance exams, including the 11+. They can focus specifically on the English Language components, such as comprehension, vocabulary, and verbal reasoning skills, to give your child the best possible chance for grammar schools like Devonport High for Boys, Devonport High for Girls, or Plymouth High School for Girls.
Will a tutor help my child with applications to universities like Exeter or Plymouth?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience supporting students with university applications. For English Language, this could involve refining personal statements, improving essay writing for admissions tests, or developing the advanced analytical skills needed for degree-level study at competitive universities such as Exeter or Plymouth.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we excel in academic subjects like English Language, Maths, and Sciences for 11+, GCSE, and A-Levels, Tutorful also offers a wide range of tutors for other skills. Your child could learn a new language, how to play an instrument, coding, or even develop skills for personal projects and hobbies. It’s all about supporting their growth and interests.
What if my child doesn't get along with their first tutor?
We offer a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. Our goal is to ensure your child finds the perfect match.
How do I choose the right English Language tutor for my child?
