Expert Online English Tutors in Bristol to Help Your Child Succeed
We know how much pressure there is for school places in Bristol. When you're aiming for sought-after schools like Redland Green or Bristol Grammar, it can feel like a single GCSE grade could close the door to the city's best sixth forms.
You worry that without mastering those tricky analytical skills in English, your child's chances of getting into a top university like the University of Bristol might slip away. That's where we can help. A one-to-one English tutor can be a wonderful partner, giving your child the dedicated support and confidence they need to reach their goals.

The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a real connection with your child. By understanding how they learn best, a tutor can adapt their approach, whether it's breaking down Shakespearean language or building essay-writing confidence. It’s a partnership you can trust, which is why we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, making sure your child is in safe, expert hands. Imagine lessons planned entirely around your child's needs. Instead of a one-size-fits-all classroom, each session focuses on what will make the biggest difference for them right now – from mastering punctuation for their GCSEs to refining their analytical voice for A-Levels. This tailored support is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Finding that perfect support shouldn't add to your busy schedule.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form in Bristol. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. We know that getting a grade 7 or above in English is a key requirement for many of Bristol's top sixth forms. Our tutors specialise in helping students master the specific essay and analysis skills needed to secure those higher grades, giving them the best possible chance of success.
We're hoping for the University of Bristol for a humanities degree. How can A-Level English tutoring help?
A-Level tutoring can be a huge help. A great tutor will work with your child to develop the sophisticated analytical and critical thinking skills that admissions tutors at prestigious universities like the University of Bristol are looking for. They'll help your child learn how to craft compelling arguments and prepare them for the step up to degree-level study.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors' introduction videos, reading reviews from other parents, and sending a message to a few you like. You can ask about their experience with the specific exam board or texts your child is studying. The goal is to find someone your child feels comfortable with.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we verify their ID. We have a strict selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors on our site by price to find someone who fits your budget. The cost is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden surprises.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
Confidence is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a safe, supportive space, your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Celebrating small wins and overcoming challenges with their tutor helps them see what they're truly capable of.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has video chat, a shared whiteboard, and tools for editing documents together. It's a fully interactive space where your child can work directly with their tutor, just as they would in person.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding in Python, or even learn a new language. There's something for every interest.
Can a tutor help with specific texts like 'Macbeth' or poetry?
Yes, definitely. That's the beauty of one-to-one tuition. Lessons can be completely tailored to what your child is studying. A tutor can spend a whole session helping them analyse quotes from 'Macbeth' or understand a difficult poetry collection for their exams.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically an hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. Most parents opt for one session a week, but you can arrange a schedule that works for your child's goals and your family's routine.
What can we expect from the first lesson?
The first lesson is all about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they find difficult, what they enjoy, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed way to build a connection and create a plan for future lessons.
