Expert Online English Tutors in Brighouse for 11+ and GCSE Success
We know how much you want to give your child the best possible start. In Brighouse, the pressure around the 11+ for schools like Crossley Heath and North Halifax can feel immense, and it’s natural to worry if your child’s comprehension and verbal reasoning skills are strong enough to secure a place.
You're not alone in feeling this way. Many parents share the concern that without that early advantage, the path to achieving top GCSE English grades for colleges like Greenhead becomes tougher. Finding the right one-to-one support can make all the difference, giving your child the dedicated guidance they need to build skills and confidence for the journey ahead.

Personalised English Tuition to Help Your Child Thrive
The right tutor does more than just teach a subject; they build a partnership with your child. We know how important it is to find someone you can trust, which is why we carefully vet all our tutors and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply. They take the time to understand how your child learns, adapting their approach to focus on the specific areas where they need the most support, whether it's preparing for the 11+ or tackling GCSE poetry. Imagine a lesson focused entirely on what your child needs to make progress. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, each session is tailored to them. If they're struggling with comprehension techniques for an entrance exam, the tutor can work through examples at their pace. If they need to refine their essay writing for their GCSEs, the entire session can be dedicated to building that skill, step-by-step. With online tutoring, you can find the perfect English specialist for your child without ever leaving home. It offers the flexibility to fit truly personalised support around your family's busy schedule. With lessons available from a wide range of expert, background-checked tutors, you can find the right match and get started in no time, giving your child the support they need, right when they need it.

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at Crossley Heath or North Halifax Grammar. Can a tutor help with the 11+?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are experienced in helping children build the specific comprehension and verbal reasoning skills needed for grammar school entrance exams. You can filter for tutors with this experience when you search.
My child wants to go to Greenhead College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grades?
Yes. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students aim for the grades they need for their next step. They can provide targeted support on everything from exam technique to understanding set texts, helping to close any knowledge gaps. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking to discuss your child's specific goals. It helps you find someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor to suit your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space makes a huge difference. A tutor can go over topics at your child's pace, celebrate their progress, and show them they're capable of understanding even the trickiest concepts. This personalised encouragement is often the key to unlocking their confidence.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have been through a rigorous selection process, including identity and background checks, before they can teach on our platform.
Is tutoring only for school subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have amazing tutors who can help your child explore a new hobby or passion. You can find experts in everything from learning the guitar and coding to speaking a new language.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both. You can check their profiles for details on their specialisms and discuss your child's specific needs with them before booking to ensure they're the right fit.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without it being overwhelming. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to see what works best for your child.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly. Our platform makes it easy to filter tutors by availability, so you can see who is free at times that suit your family's schedule and often start lessons within a few days.
