English is more than just another subject; it's the foundation for your child's next steps. A strong pass is essential for almost every post-16 pathway, from A-Levels to vocational courses and apprenticeships. The skills they'll build—like crafting a persuasive argument when analysing a poem or clearly structuring a 'Macbeth' essay—are exactly what colleges and employers look for. It gives them the confidence to communicate their ideas, a skill that will serve them for life.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to go to Chesterfield College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the crucial Grade 4 or 5 in GCSE English needed for college courses. They can focus on exam technique, essay writing, and text analysis to help your child meet the entry requirements with confidence.
How can an online tutor help my child compete for local apprenticeships?
Strong communication skills are vital for standing out in the competitive apprenticeship market. An English tutor can help your child improve their writing for applications, develop their verbal reasoning skills for interviews, and build the overall confidence needed to impress local employers.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message them for free before booking. Look for someone whose experience matches your child's needs, whether that's GCSE exam preparation or building confidence in creative writing.
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 feel the tutor is the right match for your child after the first session, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £15 to £35 per hour depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do the online lessons work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions and work at their own pace. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first step towards making real academic progress.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and high-quality?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How effective is tutoring? Do you guarantee results?
While every child's journey is unique, our results show that tutoring is highly effective. In fact, 90% of students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, we can help students improve by up to two grades. Our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews shows how much parents value the support we provide.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! Your child can learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language. It's all about helping them discover and pursue their passions.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent sessions in the run-up to an exam. You can discuss the best approach with your tutor.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you can often book your first lesson for the same week. Simply find a tutor you like and send them a message to arrange a time that works for you.
