A strong grasp of English is more than just a good grade; it's a key that unlocks future opportunities. It’s the foundation for success across all subjects, helping your child to analyse information, build arguments, and communicate their ideas clearly. Whether it's deconstructing a quote from 'Macbeth' or writing a persuasive essay, these skills are essential for securing a place on competitive A-Level courses and, later on, at their first-choice university.

John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

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 aiming for a competitive school like South Bromsgrove High. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students build the core English skills and confidence needed to thrive in competitive school environments. They can focus on strengthening foundational knowledge, improving essay technique, and ensuring your child feels prepared for the academic challenges ahead.
We're thinking about future university applications to places like Warwick or Birmingham. Is it too early to get support?
It's never too early to build a strong foundation. The analytical and communication skills developed in English are vital for strong A-Level performance and compelling personal statements for university applications. A tutor can help your child master these skills now, setting them up for long-term success.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Finding the right fit is key. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and personality to help your child succeed.
How much does an online English tutor in Catshill cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find affordable, expert help that fits your budget.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is essential 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 are your tutors vetted?
Your child's safety and quality of learning are our top priorities. Every tutor undergoes a rigorous selection process, including an interview and a background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE English texts or exam techniques?
Yes. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students prepare for exams. They can work with your child on specific set texts, like 'An Inspector Calls', practise unseen poetry analysis, and teach them proven techniques for timing and structuring answers to maximise their marks.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. A tutor might use the whiteboard to analyse a poem together, work through a grammar exercise, or plan an essay structure. Every lesson is tailored to your child's individual learning goals.
How can tutoring help my child if they're feeling unmotivated in English?
A one-to-one tutor can make learning feel relevant and engaging again. By connecting topics to your child's interests and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild lost confidence and rediscover a love for the subject, turning 'I can't do this' into 'I can'.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person tutoring?
Many parents find it even more effective. Online lessons are focused and free from distractions, and our interactive classroom has tools that make learning dynamic. Plus, you get access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live nearby, all without the travel time.
How long are sessions and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most students have one session per week, as this consistency helps to build momentum and reinforce learning. However, the frequency is completely flexible and can be arranged directly with your chosen tutor to fit your family's schedule.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have tutors for all core academic subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to developing skills in coding, public speaking, or a new language.
