They build your child's ability to communicate clearly and think critically, giving them a real advantage in their future studies and career.

Flora I
Flora is a very patient, professional and well-prepared tutor. She always explains things clearly and teaches my son how to answer GCSE questions in a structured way. She provides homework, goes through mistakes carefully, and shows him how to improve his answers step by step. She also adjusts her teaching according to my son’s exam boards and level. My son is less anxious about English now and is slowly gaining confidence. We are very happy with her support and would definitely recommend her.
She is especially good at supporting students who are weaker in English and need clear guidance and structure.

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Peter Symonds College. Can a tutor help them get the necessary GCSE English grades?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for their GCSEs with specific entry requirements in mind. They can focus on the exact areas of the English curriculum your child needs to strengthen, helping them build the skills and confidence to aim for the top grades required by competitive sixth forms like Peter Symonds.
We're aiming for a top university like Southampton or Winchester. How does English tutoring support this long-term goal?
Strong GCSE and A-Level grades are crucial for applications to respected universities. An English tutor helps build the foundational skills in critical thinking, analysis, and communication that are essential for success not just at GCSE, but through A-Levels and into degree-level study. This long-term support can make a significant difference to your child's university application.
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 for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents just like you. Many tutors have experience with specific exam boards (like AQA or Edexcel) or texts. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check, before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting just 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden costs or sign-up fees.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-esteem and foster a more positive attitude towards learning.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child and their tutor to focus on learning.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, definitely. Most English tutors are experienced in teaching both subjects and can tailor lessons to cover everything your child needs, from analysing poetry and novels for Literature to mastering persuasive writing for Language.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child is interested in learning coding, playing the guitar, or picking up a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's work?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, personalised support makes a real difference. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions, and 90% of our students achieve a higher grade.
What happens if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life can be busy, and we understand that plans change. You can easily reschedule or cancel a lesson through your Tutorful account. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice.
