Online English Tutors in Blackwood to Help Your Child Succeed
Watching your child face the pressure of GCSEs can be tough. We know how much is riding on them getting strong passes in English, especially when it’s the key to securing a place for A-Levels at Blackwood Comprehensive or Coleg Gwent. It’s completely natural to worry that without those grades, their future options for universities like Cardiff or Swansea could be limited before they’ve even begun.
That’s where one-to-one online English tutoring can make a real difference. It’s not just about revision; it’s about giving your child a dedicated expert who can build their confidence, fill in any gaps, and give them the tools they need to achieve their best. We can even help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades, taking the pressure off both of you.

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.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at Coleg Gwent. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Blackwood come to us. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target the specific grades they need for post-16 study, focusing on exam technique and curriculum knowledge to help them secure their place.
We're aiming for a competitive course at Cardiff University. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?
A great English tutor can build a strong foundation for university. They can help your child develop the critical thinking, essay writing, and analytical skills that top universities like Cardiff look for, starting with securing excellent GCSE and A-Level grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, with prices starting from £15 per hour. The price is based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see the price clearly on every tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We also have a rigorous selection process, and we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from a trusted and qualified expert.
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, supportive 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-belief, which often has a huge impact on their grades.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including 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 home.
Can a tutor help with both GCSE English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both and can create a learning plan that covers the specific requirements of each exam. You can check their profiles or message them to confirm they cover both subjects.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly lessons to build their skills over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child also learn something like coding or music?
While we are experts in core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors who teach a wide range of skills, including languages, coding, music, and even drama. There's something for every interest!
