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...

Kathy F
Creative English Language tutor
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). I would help...

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 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 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.
