Strong analytical and writing skills are essential for success in many A-Level subjects, from History to Psychology. Whether they're breaking down a quote from 'Macbeth' or structuring a persuasive essay, the abilities they build in English are the same ones they'll need to thrive at competitive colleges and universities, and eventually in their career.

Jules G
English Experienced Psychology Tutor (SEN specialist)
In the twenty-two years I have worked with children, the single most important thing they need to have in order to learn, is confidence in themselves. With this in mind, my focus has always been to develop this first; once they have the self-esteem to be able to fail, their ability to learn becomes exponential. I have always loved working with children and have had the good fortune of having a wide range of experiences from different settings all of which have enhanced my practice, knowledge and skill-set exponentially.I initially began my career working in early years, and the experience cemented...

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 has their heart set on BHASVIC or Worthing College. Can a tutor help them get the English grade they need?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades. They can work with your child to identify the exact skills needed to move from a grade 5/6 to a 7 or higher, focusing on the analytical depth and writing clarity that top colleges look for.
My child is at Shoreham Academy. Can a tutor help bridge the gap to what's needed for a university like Sussex?
Yes, that's a perfect goal for tutoring. A tutor can help your child develop the independent thinking and sophisticated essay-writing skills required for university-level study, ensuring they feel prepared and confident for the next step after their GCSEs.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important thing.
How much does an English tutor 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 someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling judged. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help build your child's self-belief step-by-step.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, which includes identity checks and an enhanced DBS check. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts, like 'An Inspector Calls' or poetry?
Definitely. Our tutors can provide tailored support on the specific books, plays, and poems your child is studying for their exams. They can help with everything from understanding themes to analysing quotes.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best.
How often should my child have lessons?
This depends entirely on your child's needs and goals. Many students have one session a week, but you might choose more frequent lessons leading up to an exam. It's completely flexible and something you can agree on with your tutor.
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. You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to public speaking.
