Kind and patient English tutor and Oxford student
Hello, I'm Grace. I study Spanish and Italian at the University of Oxford with a Choral Scholarship. I achieved A*A*A in my A-levels and a Distinction in Spanish in my first year exams at Oxford. Each lesson is tailored to the student's individual needs and I use a combination of different materials to keep the lessons fun and engaging, including quizzes, films and music resources. As a previously home-educated student who self-studied both my GCSEs and A-levels, I can support students with independent learning and teach them strategies to help them achieve top grades. I have a recent Enhanced...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're aiming for a place at Altrincham Grammar School. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are familiar with the demands of grammar school entrance exams. They can help your child build confidence in key areas like comprehension, creative writing, vocabulary, and exam technique in a supportive, one-to-one setting.

My child is already thinking about A-Levels and getting into the University of Manchester. Can a tutor help them plan ahead?

Yes, it’s never too early to build a strong foundation. An English tutor can help your child develop the deep analytical and writing skills that are crucial for top GCSE and A-Level grades, which are essential for applications to competitive universities like Manchester.

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

You can view each tutor's detailed profile, which includes their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. You can also watch their introductory video and send them a message before booking to make sure they are the perfect fit for your child's personality and learning style.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right fit 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 do online lessons actually work?

Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and diagrams, and a space to upload documents. It has everything your child needs for an engaging, one-to-one lesson from the comfort of your home.

How much does an online English tutor in Altrincham cost?

Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can use the filters on our search page to find a highly-rated tutor who fits your budget.

How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an interview and have a valid DBS background check before they can teach on our platform.

Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a positive and encouraging environment where your child feels comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. This supportive relationship often leads to a fantastic boost in their self-belief.

Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academic subjects, your child can learn practical skills like coding or a new language, explore creative passions like guitar or singing, and even get support with personal development.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs.

How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's English?

Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised nature of one-to-one tuition means progress can happen quickly. By focusing on the exact areas your child finds tricky, a tutor can help them build understanding and confidence right from the very first lesson.

How do I pay for lessons?

Payments are simple and secure. Once a lesson is complete, your payment is processed automatically through the platform using your saved card details. You never have to worry about paying the tutor directly.
