English 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.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Helston Community College. Can a tutor help them get the grades for Truro and Penwith College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the GCSE grades they need for specific college courses. They can focus on the key skills and knowledge required to achieve a Grade 5 or higher in English, giving your child the best chance of meeting the entry requirements.
We're thinking about Exeter's Penryn campus in the future. Can tutoring now help with that?
Yes, building a strong academic foundation now is one of the best ways to prepare for a competitive university application later on. A great grade in GCSE English is a crucial first step, and the study skills and confidence your child builds with a tutor will benefit them throughout their A-Levels and beyond.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Look for someone with experience in the GCSE curriculum and a teaching style that you think will click with your child's personality.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to learning. That's why we have our 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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, definitely. Our English tutors can provide targeted support on specific set texts, helping your child to understand characters, themes, and how to analyse key quotes for their exams.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor can do wonders for a child's confidence. In a supportive space, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class, helping them to overcome learning blocks and feel proud of their progress.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most parents find that a regular weekly session works best to build momentum and keep learning on track, but you can arrange a schedule that works for your family directly with your chosen tutor.
What results can I really expect?
We have a great track record of helping students succeed, with 90% improving by at least one grade. For GCSEs, we can often help students improve by up to two grades. Our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews shows how much parents and students value the support they receive.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something different?
While we're experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have brilliant tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and Spanish to playing the guitar or singing.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
