A strong grasp of English is more than just a good grade; it’s the foundation for success in so many other subjects. The ability to analyse a complex poem, structure a persuasive essay, or unpick a quote from 'Macbeth' gives your child the tools they need for A-Levels and university. These are the critical thinking and communication skills that universities like Lancaster, Durham, and the University of Cumbria look for, opening up a world of opportunities for their future.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study at William Howard or Trinity. Can a tutor help them achieve the GCSE English grades they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and have a great track record of helping students secure the higher grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific skills your child needs to turn a grade 5 into a 6, 7 or higher, giving them the best chance of getting their chosen place.
We're hoping for a place at a university like Lancaster or Durham. How can English tutoring support this goal?
Strong analytical and communication skills, which are at the heart of English, are essential for success at top universities. Tutoring helps your child develop the ability to build a strong argument and write with clarity – skills that are vital for A-Levels and for producing impressive university applications and interviews.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is so important. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos, and message tutors directly to ask about their experience. Look for someone who has experience with your child's specific goals, whether that's passing their GCSE English Language or getting to grips with Shakespeare.
How much does an online English tutor in Carlisle cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest hurdle. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Tutors are brilliant at celebrating small wins and building a student's self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their grades.
How do you check your tutors?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from one of the best tutors in the UK.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child. A session might focus on planning an essay, analysing a poem together on the interactive whiteboard, or practising exam techniques for a specific paper. The tutor will adapt the lesson to whatever your child needs most at that time.
How quickly will we see an improvement in their results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The biggest change many parents notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for the subject.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like English?
While we have tutors for all core academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for musical instruments like guitar, learning to code in Python, or even new hobbies.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes, you can. We encourage tutors to provide regular feedback after each session, and you can message your tutor at any time through the platform to discuss how your child is getting on and what they're working on.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no software to install.
