It's the foundation for clear thinking and confident expression, skills they'll use for the rest of their lives.

The Right Support to Help Your Child Thrive in English
We believe the best learning happens when a tutor truly connects with your child. That's why we help you find an expert English tutor who understands their specific learning style and what they need to work on. It's a partnership built on trust and support, where your child feels comfortable asking questions and making progress at their own pace. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, capable hands. Every online lesson is designed entirely around your child. If they're struggling to structure an essay on 'An Inspector Calls' or need to get to grips with poetic techniques, their tutor will focus the session on exactly that. This one-to-one attention means they can tackle tricky topics without the pressure of a classroom, building skills and confidence with every session. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Finding time for extra support can be tricky, but online tutoring makes it simple. You can arrange lessons with your chosen English tutor at times that suit your family's busy schedule, all from the comfort of your own home in Bicester. There's no travel, no fuss – just effective, convenient learning that fits seamlessly into your life.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
The local sixth forms in and around Bicester are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child secure the English grade they need?
Yes, this is a common goal for parents we work with. A dedicated English tutor can focus on the specific areas your child needs to improve to hit their target grades for A-Level entry. For GCSE students, we know that focused support can improve results by up to two grades, which can make all the difference.
My child hopes to study at Oxford or Oxford Brookes. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students with their personal statements and interview preparation for top universities. They can help your child articulate their ideas clearly and confidently, which is a vital skill for a competitive application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles for each tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat before you book, so you and your child can get a feel for their teaching style and make sure it's a good match.
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 for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor on our platform has been through a background check. We are also very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted, ensuring your child is learning with the best.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
This is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child’s self-belief step-by-step.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which is designed for one-to-one learning. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring help my child with specific GCSE English texts or exams?
Yes, definitely. Tutors can provide targeted support for specific set texts, like 'Macbeth' or 'An Inspector Calls', or focus on exam techniques for different papers. They can help your child understand marking schemes and what examiners are looking for.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one session a week, as this provides consistency and keeps the momentum going. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent sessions in the run-up to an exam, or less frequent top-ups. You can arrange this directly with your tutor.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are an hour long, which we find is perfect for covering a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn a hobby like guitar or a skill like coding?
It's not just for academics! While we have experts in everything from Maths to French, you can also find brilliant tutors for music, coding, art, and many other skills. It's a great way for your child to explore a new passion or develop a hobby.
