My child is hoping to attend Blackpool Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades needed for their college of choice. They can focus specifically on the GCSE curriculum, helping your child master key skills to confidently achieve a Grade 5 or above, opening up the A-Level options they want at Blackpool Sixth Form College.
We're aiming for a top university like Lancaster. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?
Yes. A strong foundation in English is vital for applications to competitive universities like Lancaster. Our tutors can help your child develop advanced analytical and essay-writing skills throughout their A-Levels, building the academic rigour and confidence needed to write a compelling personal statement and excel in their studies.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Each tutor has a detailed profile with a video, student reviews, qualifications, and their experience. You can read what other parents have said and even message tutors for free before booking to ask about their approach. It's a great way to find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. 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 much does an online English tutor in Thornton-Wyre cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced English tutor that fits your family's budget.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. This personalised attention and positive reinforcement from a dedicated tutor often leads to a significant boost in self-belief.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and highly-qualified professional.

How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions as often as you need, whether that's a one-off lesson to prepare for a specific test or more frequent sessions in the run-up to exams.
How effective is online tutoring?
Online tutoring is incredibly effective. It gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live nearby. It also allows for flexible scheduling and provides a focused, distraction-free learning environment. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like creative writing?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to explore their passion for creative writing, learn a new language, master a musical instrument like the guitar, or even get into coding, you can find an expert tutor to guide them.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first lesson is a great chance for the tutor to get to know your child. They'll chat about what your child enjoys, what they find tricky in English, and what their goals are. It's a relaxed session designed to build rapport and create a learning plan that's tailored to them.
