Whether it's analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or structuring a persuasive essay, these skills are essential for A-Levels, university courses, and almost any career path they choose.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Barnsley College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target the specific grades they need for college or A-Level courses. They can focus on weak spots in the curriculum and build exam technique to help your child feel confident and prepared to secure their place.
How does online tutoring work if we live in Bolton upon Dearne?
Online tutoring gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live locally. All lessons happen in our interactive online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. It’s a convenient and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have 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.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutor introduction videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter by experience and price. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the key to success.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter tutors by price to find one that fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden surprises.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview every tutor to ensure they have the right experience and a passion for teaching. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
Can tutoring help my child's confidence as well as their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. In a one-to-one setting, your child gets the space and encouragement to ask questions and work at their own pace. This personalised attention often leads to 'lightbulb moments' that build their self-esteem and create a more positive attitude towards learning.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
The tutor will tailor the lesson to your child's specific needs. It might involve going over a tricky piece of homework, practising exam questions, analysing a text like 'An Inspector Calls' on the interactive whiteboard, or planning an essay together. It's always focused on what will help your child most.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding, or pick up a new language, we have expert tutors who can help.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You can schedule lessons as often as you need, whether that's a one-off session before an exam or regular weekly support.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them at any time to discuss your child's progress. The best sign, however, is often the change you'll see in your child's confidence and attitude towards their schoolwork.
Can a tutor help with the GCSE English curriculum at a school like Astrea Academy Dearne?
Yes, our tutors are very familiar with the national curriculum for GCSE English. They can provide targeted support for the specific texts, poetry collections, and exam boards used by local schools, ensuring the tutoring is perfectly aligned with what your child is learning in the classroom.
