Phil R
Bringing English Language to Life
I have a strong, passionate and extensive interest in History. I believe that rather than it be a stodgy subject full of dates and events, it’s actually a living thing as it’s about people, how they thought what they thought and why they thought it and how all that impacts us today. My specialist interest lies in 19th and 20th Century History particularly the First World War - I visit the battlefields of France and Belgium at least twice a year. It's something I think anyone should undertake at least just once to try and appreciate the magnitude of what took place there - it's a moving experience. I a...

I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior).

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for GCSEs at a school in Sunderland. Can an online tutor help with the specific curriculum?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experts in the national curriculum, including AQA, Edexcel and OCR exam boards used in Sunderland's secondary schools. They can tailor sessions to complement your child's classroom learning, helping them solidify knowledge and prepare effectively for their specific exams.

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

We find it's even more effective for many families. Online tutoring cuts out travel time and stress, allowing your child to learn in a comfortable, familiar environment. Plus, it gives your family in Sunderland access to a much wider choice of specialist tutors from all over the UK, not just those who live nearby.

What happens if we don't click with the first English Language tutor we try?

We want it to be the perfect fit. If the first session with a tutor isn't quite right for any reason, just email our friendly support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We'll listen to your feedback and cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor, no questions asked.

How do you check your English Language tutors?

We're very selective because your child's safety and education are paramount. We accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed by our team, and has their qualifications verified to ensure they are an expert in their field.

My child has lost all confidence in English. How can a tutor help?

This is at the heart of what we do. A great tutor provides a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling judged. They'll celebrate small wins, break down big challenges into manageable steps, and show your child that they really *can* do it. It’s often the biggest transformation we see.

Can a tutor help my child explore literature with links to the North East?

Yes, many of our English tutors have a passion for regional literature! When you search, you can look for tutors whose profiles mention specific interests. Finding someone who can bring local heritage to life, from the Venerable Bede to modern writers, can make learning so much more engaging for your child.

What technology do we need for an online lesson?

It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop, tablet, or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools they'll need, like an interactive whiteboard, built right in.

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

Our English Language tutors set their own rates, which you'll see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience, from university students to seasoned teachers. This means you can find brilliant, affordable online support that fits your family's budget, right from your home in Sunderland.

My child is more interested in creative writing than academic essays. Do you have tutors for that?

We certainly do. Many of our English tutors are also passionate writers themselves and love nurturing creativity. Whether your child wants to write short stories, poetry, or just improve their descriptive writing skills, you can find a tutor to inspire them. We also have tutors for hundreds of other subjects, from coding to music theory!

How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's English grades?

Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a change in their child's confidence within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade with regular support.

How flexible are the lesson times?

That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You're not tied to a local tutor's limited schedule. You can arrange lessons for evenings, weekends, or whenever suits your family's routine. It's designed to fit around your life, not the other way around.

Do you offer support for A-Level English Language as well as GCSE?

Yes, we have a fantastic selection of tutors who are specialists in A-Level English Language and Literature. Many have postgraduate degrees and extensive experience helping students analyse complex texts and prepare for the rigours of A-Level exams. You can filter your search specifically for A-Level support.
