These skills are essential for almost any A-Level subject and degree course, giving your child the foundation they need to succeed long after they leave school.

David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for A-Levels at Whitley Bay High School. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grades?
Absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the high standards of schools in the area. They can focus specifically on the skills needed to move from a good grade to a top one (7-9), helping your child meet the entry requirements for competitive A-Level subjects.
We're hoping for a place at Durham or Newcastle University. How can an English tutor support this goal?
A strong English A-Level is fantastic for university applications. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills that top universities like Durham and Newcastle look for. They can also help with personal statement writing, ensuring your child's application stands out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend reading tutor profiles and reviews from other parents. You can also watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat, which is a great way to make sure they're the right fit for your child before booking a lesson.
How much does an online English tutor in Whitley Bay cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our platform to find someone who fits your budget. The cost for each tutor is clearly displayed on their profile, so there are no surprises.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every one of our tutors is background-checked and has been through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind that your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Each lesson is tailored to your child's needs. They might spend the time going over a difficult piece of homework, practising exam techniques, or working on a specific skill like analysing Shakespeare. Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard, file sharing, and video chat, making it feel just like they're in the same room.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
One-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor can work wonders for confidence. In a supportive space, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, and every small step forward is celebrated. This positive reinforcement helps them see what they're truly capable of.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language. It's all about helping them discover their passions.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few weeks. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How many lessons should my child have per week?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point. It provides regular support without being overwhelming. You can always discuss what's best for your child with your chosen tutor, who can recommend a schedule based on their specific goals.
How do I know Tutorful is a trusted platform?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students on their learning journeys. We have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from parents just like you, which we hope gives you confidence in the support we provide.
