Why a Strong English Grade is So Important for Their Future
Great English skills are about so much more than analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or understanding Shakespeare. They are the foundation for clear communication, critical thinking, and building a persuasive argument – abilities that are essential for every competitive A-Level subject, from History to the Sciences. A top grade in English Language and Literature gives your child a real advantage when applying for college, university, and, later on, in their chosen career.

Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone.

Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at a large school like West Park. How can a tutor help?
An online tutor provides the one-to-one attention that can be difficult to get in a busy classroom. They can focus entirely on your child's needs, whether that's going over topics they found confusing in class, building confidence, or stretching them to reach for higher grades.
Can a tutor help my child aim for top grades to get into a competitive sixth form or university like Loughborough?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in helping students secure the top grades needed for competitive courses and institutions. They can focus on exam technique, essay writing, and the deeper understanding required to stand out. In fact, 90% of our GCSE students improve their results by up to 2 grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will respond to.
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 perfect match, just 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?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS certificate. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
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 a way to share documents. All they need is a computer or tablet with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How can tutoring help if my child lacks confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A private tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, tutors help build your child's self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their grades.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach hobbies and skills like learning the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking.
Can I find a tutor who specialises in the GCSE English curriculum?
Yes. Many of our English tutors are GCSE specialists with a deep understanding of the AQA, Edexcel, and other exam board specifications. You can see their experience on their profiles and can message them to confirm they cover the specific texts your child is studying.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns differently, but consistent weekly lessons can make a noticeable difference in just a few weeks, often starting with a boost in confidence. Our data shows that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
It's simple. You can manage your lessons through your Tutorful account. We have a 24-hour cancellation policy, so as long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can reschedule your session for a more convenient time without any charge.
