Why a Strong Grade in English is So Important
A strong grasp of English isn't just about passing an exam; it's the foundation for your child's future success. The skills they learn, from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to structuring a persuasive essay for their Language paper, are exactly what colleges and universities look for. This core qualification is their passport to the best A-Level courses and, ultimately, a compelling university application that helps them stand out from the crowd.

Focused English Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
Our tutors are more than just subject experts; they're mentors who take the time to understand how your child learns. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best. They will build a positive relationship, pinpointing exactly where your child needs a bit more help, whether that's with exam technique or understanding tricky poetry. Every lesson is designed around your child. If they're struggling to get to grips with Shakespeare, the session will focus on that. If they need to practise crafting answers for their English Language paper, that's what they'll do. It's this targeted support that leads to real progress. In fact, we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades, helping them secure that crucial pass. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's busy schedule. With online tutoring, you can find the perfect, background-checked tutor from anywhere in the UK and schedule lessons for times that work for you – after school, on weekends, whenever suits. It’s expert help that fits around your life.

Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to St Mary's College. Can a tutor help them meet the English requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on strengthening the specific essay writing and analytical skills needed to secure a Grade 5 or above in GCSE English, giving your child the best possible chance of getting a place.
We're aiming for a top university like Lancaster or Manchester. How can an English tutor support this?
A strong English A-Level is often a prerequisite for top universities. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced critical thinking and writing skills needed to excel at A-Level, and can even offer guidance on crafting a compelling personal statement for their UCAS application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Look for someone whose experience matches your child's needs, whether that's for GCSE exam preparation, building confidence in creative writing, or A-Level support.
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 first tutor for any reason, 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 in Blackburn cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can set your own budget and filter your search to find a great tutor who fits your price range. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile.
How can tutoring help my child if they lack confidence in English?
One-to-one lessons create a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and build their self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork and beyond.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and been personally interviewed by our team to ensure they are a brilliant, trusted educator.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like creative writing?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core curriculum subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can find expert tutors for hobbies and skills like learning guitar, coding, creative writing, or even public speaking.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which most students find is perfect for covering a topic in depth without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths by messaging the tutor directly.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you informed of your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and what the focus of upcoming lessons will be.
Is there a contract or minimum number of lessons?
No, not at all. Tutorful is completely flexible. There are no contracts or commitments. You can book as many or as few lessons as your child needs, paying as you go. You are in complete control.
