Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
A great grade in English is a key that unlocks so many opportunities. It’s a core qualification that top sixth forms and Russell Group universities look for, as it proves your child can think critically and communicate their ideas clearly. These are skills for life, not just for exams. Whether they're analysing the power dynamics in *An Inspector Calls* or crafting a persuasive essay, they are developing the abilities they'll need for A-Levels, university, and their future career.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Archway and are aiming for a competitive sixth form. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Our tutors understand the high standards required for sought-after sixth forms. They can help your child move beyond just understanding the text to developing the sophisticated analysis and critical evaluation skills needed to achieve the top grades (7-9) that make an application stand out.
My child is worried about the English requirements for getting into a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help?
Yes. Many of our English tutors are graduates of Russell Group universities themselves and have first-hand experience of the academic rigour required. They can help your child develop the advanced essay-writing and analytical skills essential for success at A-Level and for crafting a compelling university application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can filter tutors by subject and level, then read their profiles and reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their short introduction videos to get a real sense of their teaching style and personality before you book a lesson.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to 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 I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and must provide references. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience. Prices are clearly displayed on every tutor's profile, with no hidden fees, so you can easily find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can online tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions they might feel shy about asking in a busy classroom. This personalised attention helps them master tricky topics, and as their understanding grows, so does their self-belief.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for working through problems together, and a document editor for reviewing essays in real-time. Everything your child needs for a great lesson is in one place.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer expert support for all academic subjects, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or speak a new language, we can help them find a brilliant tutor.
How many lessons will my child need?
Every child's needs are different. You can discuss your goals with a tutor, and they can help you create a plan. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. The choice is always yours.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor if your child would benefit from something different.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life can be unpredictable. You can easily manage your schedule and rearrange lessons directly with your tutor through the platform. We just ask that you give at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel a session.
