Strong skills in analysing texts, from Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' to modern poetry, and the ability to write a clear, persuasive essay are essential for A-Level study and beyond. A great grade can be the difference-maker for your child's application, helping them secure a place on their chosen course and setting them up for future success.

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence.
Really friendly, patient, and supportive — we’re very happy with the progress so far. Highly recommend!

Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Colchester Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students strengthen their GCSE performance to meet the entry requirements for popular sixth forms and colleges. They can focus on the specific skills and grades your child needs to put forward a strong application.
We're aiming for a top grade in GCSE English for university applications. Can a tutor focus on this?
Yes, that's a perfect goal for tutoring. Our English tutors can help your child move from a good grade to a great one. They can work on advanced essay techniques and deeper analysis to help their application stand out for competitive courses at universities like the University of Essex.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It’s really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. 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 I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. This helps you find the perfect match for their personality and learning style.
How much does an online English tutor in Harwich cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level of study. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete flexibility.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are from the UK and have passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We also interview every tutor to ensure they are the best of the best.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive space makes a huge difference. When a child realises they *can* understand a topic they found difficult, their confidence soars. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down big challenges, which helps your child feel much more positive about their learning.
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 way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection. It’s simple, secure, and effective.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent sessions during exam periods or less frequent ones during holidays, whatever works best for your family.
Can tutoring help if my child is already doing well but wants to aim higher?
Definitely. Tutoring isn't just for students who are struggling. Many parents use Tutorful to help their child push for the highest grades, explore topics in more depth, and gain a competitive edge in their studies.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A session is tailored to your child. It might start with a quick chat about a recent school test, then move on to working through a specific challenge, like planning an essay on 'An Inspector Calls' or practising persuasive writing techniques. It's focused, interactive, and always paced for your child.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than core academic ones?
Yes, we do! While we have experts in core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have talented tutors who teach music, languages, coding, and more. It’s a great way for your child to explore a new hobby or develop a new skill.
