Strong English Skills: Opening Doors for Your Child's Future

Strong English skills are the foundation for success in almost every other subject. It’s about more than just passing an exam; it’s about learning to communicate ideas clearly, think critically, and understand the world more deeply. Whether it's breaking down a complex text for the Transfer Test, analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' for GCSE, or structuring a persuasive essay for A-Levels, these are the skills that will help your child secure a place on a competitive course at Queen's University Belfast or Ulster University, and open doors to their chosen career.

Holly E
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 K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor. 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. My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor! Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile. Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn. We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun. Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for the Transfer Test. Can a tutor help with this?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children in Northern Ireland prepare for the Transfer Test. They can build a tailored plan focusing on the key comprehension, grammar, and literacy skills your child needs to feel confident and prepared for the exam.

We're aiming for a grammar school in Downpatrick or Lisburn. Can we find a tutor who understands this goal?

Yes. You can use our filters to find tutors with experience in entrance exams and 11+ preparation. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific goal of aiming for a particular grammar school and ensure they are the right fit.

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

It's all about finding the right personality match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check a tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before you book a lesson.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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 cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, with prices starting from £15 per hour. The cost can vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden surprises.

How does online tutoring work?

All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything your child needs, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a safe and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.

Are all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have been through a rigorous selection process, and we carry out background checks on every tutor before they can teach on our platform. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.

My child's confidence in English is very low. Can a tutor help with that?

Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. The one-to-one setting provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Celebrating small wins and overcoming challenges together can make a huge difference to their self-belief.

What happens in a typical English lesson?

Every lesson is tailored to your child's needs. The tutor might start by reviewing a topic from the last session, then move on to a new area your child is struggling with at school, such as analysing poetry or planning an essay. The sessions are interactive and designed to keep your child engaged.

Can tutoring help my child get into Queen's University Belfast or Ulster University?

Many of our students are working towards university entry. A tutor can provide targeted support for A-Level English, helping your child master the curriculum and develop the analytical skills needed to achieve the top grades required for competitive courses at leading universities.

Can I track my child's progress?

Yes. We encourage open communication between parents and tutors. You can message your child's tutor at any time to get feedback on their progress and discuss how they are getting on in their lessons.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we are experts in core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors who teach a wide range of other skills, from learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to practical skills like coding.
