Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
A great grade in English isn't just another certificate. It's a core qualification that opens doors to competitive A-Level courses and is highly respected by universities and employers alike. The skills your child develops—from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to building a persuasive argument—are skills for life. They learn how to communicate clearly and think critically, which is essential whether they're aiming for a place at the University of Bristol or preparing for their future career.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
The local sixth forms are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade they need to apply?
Yes, absolutely. This is one of the main reasons parents in Calne come to us. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can help your child focus on the specific skills needed to move up a grade boundary. They can work on exam technique, confidence, and mastering the marking criteria to help your child secure the grades they need for their A-Level choices.
My child hopes to apply to a competitive university like Bath or Bristol. Can a tutor help with this?
Definitely. A strong English A-Level is fantastic preparation for university, and our tutors can help your child develop the higher-level critical thinking and analytical skills that top universities look for. Many of our tutors can also provide support with personal statements, helping your child articulate their passion for their chosen subject.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to get a feel for their approach. Think about your child's specific needs—do they need help with essay structure or understanding Shakespeare? Finding a tutor whose expertise and personality are a good match is key to building your child's confidence.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our site to find an expert who fits your budget, with prices starting from as little as £15 per hour.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has been through a rigorous selection process. We interview every applicant and they must have a valid DBS check (or equivalent) before they can teach.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a document editor, so your child and their tutor can work through problems together in real-time. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to progress. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them feel much more positive about the subject.
My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor focus just on that?
Yes, that's the great thing about one-to-one tuition. Lessons are completely tailored to your child's needs. If they're struggling with poetry, their tutor can dedicate entire sessions to exploring different techniques and building their confidence in that specific area until they feel comfortable with it.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have brilliant tutors who can help your child learn a musical instrument, a new language, or even practical skills like coding and public speaking. There's a whole world of learning to discover.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard length for a tutoring session is one hour. We find this gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. You can discuss what works best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about their goals, what they find tricky in English, and what they enjoy. It's a great opportunity to see if it's a good fit and to create a plan for future lessons.
