Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
A strong command of English is more than just a good grade; it's the key that unlocks your child's future choices. It gives them the skills to analyse complex texts like 'An Inspector Calls' for their GCSEs, and the confidence to express their own ideas clearly. These abilities are essential for securing a place at a top university like Exeter or Plymouth and are valued in every career path they might choose to follow.

Personalised English Support, Tailored to Your Child's Goals
We know that the best tutors do more than just teach a subject; they build a connection. That's why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is paired with an expert who is not only background-checked but also skilled at understanding their unique learning style. Whether they need help analysing poetry or structuring an essay for the 11+, their tutor will provide guidance that clicks. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific needs. Forget a one-size-fits-all approach. If they're struggling with algebra in Maths, their tutor focuses on algebra. If it's understanding Shakespeare for English Literature, the session will be dedicated to that. This focused support is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and many see their GCSE results improve by up to two grades. With our simple online platform, you can find the perfect English tutor and schedule lessons that fit around your family's life in Brixham. There's no travel, no fuss – just high-quality, effective learning that helps your child feel prepared and confident. It’s no wonder over 200,000 students have found success with us, as our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews shows.

English Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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!

Michelle P
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 is preparing for the 11+ for Churston Ferrers. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience with 11+ preparation, including the comprehension and creative writing sections. You can view their profiles and even message them before booking to find the perfect match for your child's needs.
We're aiming for top GCSE English grades at Brixham College. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. Our tutors can provide targeted support for the GCSE English Language and Literature curriculum. They can help your child master key texts, refine their essay writing, and build the analytical skills needed to secure the grades for their chosen A-Level path or university course.
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 check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. You can even send them a message to discuss your child's goals before you book a lesson.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on their profile, so there are no hidden costs.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, 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! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so your child and their tutor can work together just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention makes a huge difference. A tutor can create a safe, encouraging space where your child feels comfortable asking questions they might not ask in class. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help build your child's self-belief step by step.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor, as some may offer shorter or longer sessions depending on your child's needs.
How often should my child have lessons?
We generally recommend one session per week to build momentum and see consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your family's schedule and your child's learning goals.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a wide range of other skills. You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to speaking Spanish.
What happens if we need to reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life can be busy. You can easily reschedule or cancel lessons through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, as per our cancellation policy.
