Experienced English Tutor - KS3, GCSE, A level, University
Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor and examiner, who has been teaching English Language & Literature and Religious Studies online since 2013. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education.While I am a passionate tutor of each of these two subjects individually, more importantly I feel that my experience in each subject contributes something to the other. For example, my knowledge of Biblical and Greek mythological references from my study of world religions is often really useful when interpreting certain texts by Shakespeare or other non-contemporary...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for the 11+ exam for grammar schools in Reading. Can a tutor help?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build confidence and skill in key areas like comprehension, creative writing, and exam technique, giving them the focused support they need to feel ready for the day.

We're aiming for top GCSE grades at a school like St Bartholomew's. Can we find a tutor with experience in this?

Yes. You can filter tutors by their experience with the GCSE curriculum. Many have helped students achieve top grades (8s and 9s) by focusing on specific areas like essay structure, textual analysis, and understanding the mark scheme. In fact, we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

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

Start by reading tutor profiles and reviews from other parents. You can watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking your first session.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We know that the right fit is crucial for your child's success. 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 online lessons work?

Our online classroom is designed to be simple and engaging. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

How much does an online English tutor in Newbury cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help students replace anxiety with self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork in general.

Can my child get help with specific texts, like GCSE Shakespeare plays?

Definitely. Our English tutors can provide targeted support for any text on the curriculum, whether it's Shakespeare, modern poetry, or a 19th-century novel. They can help your child understand characters, themes, and context to write with more confidence.

How long will it take to see an improvement?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our personalised approach is designed for progress. With consistent weekly lessons, many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few weeks. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

Is tutoring only for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?

While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child can learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or learning a new language. It's all about helping them pursue their passions.

What happens in a typical English tutoring session?

A session is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick review of what they covered in school that week, followed by tackling a specific challenge, like planning an essay or working through a practice exam paper. It's always interactive and focused on your child's goals.
