Why Strong English Skills Are So Important for Your Child

A good grade in English isn't just another qualification; it's a key that unlocks your child's future choices. Strong comprehension, grammar, and writing skills are essential for success across all their subjects. They form the foundation for crafting compelling essays, analysing complex texts like 'Macbeth' at GCSE, and ultimately, securing a place on competitive A-Level courses and at universities like Queen's or Ulster University.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for the Transfer Test, aiming for a place at Dalriada. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are highly experienced in preparing children for grammar school entrance exams, including the Transfer Test. They can create a tailored plan focusing on the specific comprehension, grammar, and verbal reasoning skills your child needs to feel confident and perform their best.

We're thinking ahead to university. Can a tutor help my child with the English skills needed for applying to Queen's or Ulster University?

Yes, definitely. Strong English skills are vital for A-Levels and writing a compelling university application. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve top grades and stand out in their application to competitive universities.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask about their experience. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has specific experience in the area you need, such as GCSE preparation or building confidence in creative writing.

How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked with a valid DBS certificate. We also interview every applicant and verify their ID and qualifications. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right fit 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 much does an online English tutor in Ballymoney cost?

Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £15 to £40 per hour. There are no hidden fees or contracts. You can view each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.

How does online tutoring work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.

Can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in English?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a supportive, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and breaking down topics they find difficult can make a huge difference to their confidence.

How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's grades?

Every child learns at a different pace, but our tailored approach gets results. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. The biggest change you'll likely see first is a boost in your child's confidence and enjoyment of the subject.

What happens in a typical English lesson?

Each lesson is unique because it's tailored to your child. A tutor might start by reviewing homework, then introduce a new topic like analysing poetry, before working through examples together on the interactive whiteboard. The focus is always on your child's specific learning goals.

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, you might choose to have more frequent lessons in the run-up to an important exam like a GCSE or the Transfer Test. It's completely flexible and up to you.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer a huge range of subjects! Beyond core English and Maths, your child can learn anything from coding or a musical instrument to a new language. It's a great way for them to explore new interests with an expert guide.
