Why Strong English Skills are Key to Your Child's Future
Passing the 11+ is a big milestone, but strong English skills are about so much more. They are the bedrock of all future learning. The ability to understand complex texts, analyse a quote from a Shakespeare play, or structure a persuasive essay is vital for success at GCSE, A-Level, and beyond. These are the skills that will help your child excel across all subjects, opening doors to university courses and future careers by allowing them to communicate their ideas clearly and confidently.

Personalised English Support for Your Child's Journey
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a real connection with your child. They take the time to understand how your child learns best, where they get stuck, and what makes them tick. Because we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, you can be sure you're choosing from the very best. This means finding an expert who can turn 'I can't do it' into 'I understand', creating a supportive partnership that builds lasting confidence. Every child is different, so every lesson should be too. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, a tutor will tailor each session to your child's specific needs. If they're struggling with verbal reasoning for the 11+, the lesson will focus on that. If comprehension practice is needed, that becomes the priority. This targeted approach is why 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade – they get the exact help they need, right when they need it. Juggling school runs, clubs, and family life is hard enough. Online tutoring fits around your schedule, not the other way around. You can find a brilliant, background-checked English tutor from anywhere in the UK and connect with them from the comfort of your Alcester home. It means less stress for you and more focused, effective learning time for your child.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for Alcester Grammar School. Can a tutor help with the Warwickshire 11+ exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are familiar with the demands of the Warwickshire exam. They can create a tailored plan for your child focusing specifically on verbal reasoning, comprehension techniques, vocabulary building, and exam strategy to help them feel fully prepared.
Are the tutors familiar with the local school system in Warwickshire?
You can find tutors with specific experience in preparing children for grammar school entrance exams in the Warwickshire area. When searching, you can read detailed tutor profiles and even message them before booking to ask about their experience with the 11+ and local school requirements.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and learning style. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter tutors by their experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find someone you and your child both feel comfortable with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the student-tutor relationship 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 Alcester cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can tutoring build my child's confidence for the 11+?
The 11+ can be daunting, but a tutor provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down difficult topics into manageable steps and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps your child see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and has had their ID and references verified before they can start teaching.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a microphone, and a webcam.
Is tutoring just for school exams, or can you help with other skills?
While we help thousands of students with academic subjects, our tutors offer lessons in a huge range of skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some parents book a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others prefer weekly lessons for ongoing support. You can discuss your aims with your chosen tutor, and there are no long-term commitments.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. We find this gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also see their confidence grow as they start to tackle topics they once found tricky. Many parents tell us they see a positive change not just in their child's results, but in their whole attitude to learning.
