Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
English is more than just a core subject; it's the foundation for success across all of your child's studies. The ability to analyse a poem, structure a persuasive argument, or unpick the language in *Macbeth* teaches them how to think critically and communicate clearly. These are the skills that will help them shine in their exams, stand out in college applications, and thrive at university and in their future career.

Personalised English Tutoring, Designed for Your Child
We know trust is everything. That's why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring they are not only subject experts but also brilliant, background-checked mentors. Your child's tutor will take the time to understand their unique learning style and the specific areas they find tricky, whether it's poetry analysis or creative writing, creating a supportive space where they feel comfortable asking questions. Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child's needs. If they're struggling with algebra in Maths, their tutor focuses on algebra. For English, that might mean spending a session mastering essay structure for their GCSEs or breaking down complex language in a difficult text. This focused approach is why our support can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades. Juggling school, clubs, and family life is hard enough. Online tutoring fits around you. You can find the perfect English tutor for your child in Bovingdon without worrying about travel, and schedule lessons for times that suit your family – whether it's after school or on a weekend. All they need is a laptop and an internet connection to start learning.

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!

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Longdean or Ashlyns School. Can a tutor help them meet the high expectations for English GCSEs there?
Absolutely. Many parents in Bovingdon share your concern. Our tutors are experienced in helping students meet and exceed the high standards required for GCSE English. They can provide targeted support on everything from detailed textual analysis to crafting high-scoring essays, building the specific skills your child needs to feel confident and prepared. For GCSEs, we find our support can help students improve by up to two grades.
We live in Bovingdon. Are the tutors local?
Our tutors are based all across the UK, and because all lessons are online, you're not limited to tutors just in the Bovingdon area. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists, so you can find the perfect expert for your child's specific needs without having to worry about travel.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors also have introductory videos to give you a feel for their personality. You can message them before booking to discuss your child's specific goals and make sure they're a great fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just 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 you ensure tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by our team and must pass an enhanced background check before they can teach on the platform.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in a busy classroom. A tutor can go over topics at your child's pace, celebrate their small wins, and help them see that they are capable, which makes a huge difference to their self-belief.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an excellent, experienced tutor who fits within your family's budget.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything your child needs to learn effectively, including a two-way video stream, an interactive whiteboard, and a tool for sharing documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with specific English texts, like Shakespeare or modern poetry?
Yes, definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons can be tailored to exactly what your child is studying at school. Whether it's breaking down the language in *An Inspector Calls* or getting to grips with unseen poetry for their exams, a tutor can provide focused, expert support.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. Consistent, weekly lessons are the best way to build momentum and see real, lasting progress in your child's understanding and results.
What happens in a typical one-hour English lesson?
A typical lesson is focused entirely on your child's goals. It might start with a quick review of the previous week's topic, then move onto the main focus – for example, working through a practice exam question, analysing a key quote, or planning an essay structure. The tutor will adapt the session to keep your child engaged and ensure they feel they've made real progress.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English, or can you help with other skills?
While we're proud to support students in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills! Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor to help them pursue their passion.
