Janan S
Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a Warwickshire grammar school. Can a tutor help my child prepare for the 11+ English exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build the specific vocabulary, comprehension, and reasoning skills needed for the entrance exams, giving them calm, confident support as they prepare.
My child is hoping for a place at Warwick or Birmingham. Can a tutor help them get the top GCSE English grade they need?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can provide focused support to help your child aim for the highest grades. They can work on everything from detailed text analysis to perfecting exam technique, which can help improve their results by up to two grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for 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 much does online English tutoring cost in Balsall Common?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can see the cost clearly on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden fees.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all of them must have a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. A tutor creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement, celebrating small wins and helping them see their own progress.
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 space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
What happens in a typical one-to-one English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child. A session might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising comprehension techniques for an upcoming exam, analysing a poem together, or planning out an essay. The tutor will focus on whatever will help your child most.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, personalised support makes a real difference. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something else?
While we cover all academic subjects from primary to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language or public speaking.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for lessons is simple and secure. Your payment details are stored safely on your account, and you are only charged 24 hours after each lesson is complete. You can easily track all your payments and lesson history from your dashboard.
