A great grade in English opens doors, giving your child the confidence and the qualifications to pursue their ambitions.

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
With the competition from schools like Bassaleg and Caerleon, how can a tutor give my child an edge in their GCSE English exams?
A tutor provides one-to-one attention that's hard to get in a busy classroom. They can identify the exact areas where your child needs support—whether it's exam technique, understanding marking schemes, or analysing texts like 'An Inspector Calls'—and create a plan to build their skills and confidence, helping them stand out.
My child is hoping to apply to Cardiff University. Can a tutor help with their personal statement?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students with their UCAS applications, including personal statements. They can help your child structure their thoughts, showcase their strengths, and write a compelling statement that captures the attention of admissions teams.
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 match. Think about your child's personality and learning style. Are they quiet and in need of gentle encouragement, or do they thrive with a more energetic approach? Finding the right fit is key.
How much does an online English tutor in Newport cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £15 to £40 per hour, depending on their experience and level of study. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection is. 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 do you make sure the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview them to ensure they have the right experience and approach for one-to-one tutoring. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in good hands.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s a dynamic and engaging learning space that they can access from anywhere with an internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, definitely. Most of our English tutors are experts in both parts of the GCSE and A-Level curriculum. They can seamlessly switch between helping your child analyse poetry for Literature and honing their persuasive writing for Language, providing complete support.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in class?
Confidence often comes from understanding. When a tutor takes the time to explain a concept in a way your child truly gets, it clicks. This one-to-one success builds their self-esteem, making them more likely to put their hand up and participate in school.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
While we're well known for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and life skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to public speaking or a new language.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. Consistent, weekly lessons often lead to noticeable improvements in confidence and understanding within just a few weeks.
What happens if we need to reschedule a lesson?
It's easy. We have a 12-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule your lesson without any charge. You can arrange a new time that works for both of you directly through our platform.
