It's completely understandable to feel the pressure from the high standards set by local schools. When you see the A-Level expectations at Chapeltown Academy or hear about the competition for places at the University of Leeds, it’s natural to worry that just passing English isn't enough for your child.

Finding a dedicated English tutor can give your child the focused, one-to-one support they need to build not just their skills, but the confidence to secure their future.

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
The local schools have high expectations. Can we find a tutor experienced in helping students achieve top GCSE grades (7-9)?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students move from a pass to top grades. You can check their profiles for experience with specific exam boards and their track record of helping students secure grades 7, 8, and 9, which can make all the difference for competitive sixth form applications.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Leeds. Can a tutor help with their personal statement?
Definitely. While our tutors primarily focus on curriculum subjects, many have extensive experience in university applications. They can help your child structure their personal statement, refine their writing, and articulate their ambitions clearly, which is a crucial part of the UCAS process.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to read tutor profiles and reviews from other parents. Look for someone whose experience matches your child's needs, whether that's GCSE exam preparation or building foundational reading skills. You can also message tutors beforehand to ask about their teaching style.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. If for any reason you feel the first lesson wasn't quite right, our First Lesson Guarantee has you covered. Just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do you ensure tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every single tutor and they must all provide a valid DBS check or equivalent background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a 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.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. This supportive environment is often the key to helping their confidence grow, which in turn boosts their results.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but regular, focused sessions can make a real difference quite quickly. For GCSE students, our data shows that tutoring can help improve their final grade by up to two grades, which is why starting early can be so beneficial.
Can we get help with both English Language and English Literature?
Of course. Most of our English tutors are experts in both and can tailor lessons to cover whichever area your child needs the most support with, from analysing Shakespeare to mastering grammar and punctuation.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something creative like Music or Art?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Your child can learn to play the guitar, get support with their art portfolio, learn a new language, or even take up coding. There are hundreds of subjects to explore.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
A tutor will usually start by checking in on what your child has been doing at school. The lesson will then focus on the specific goals you've agreed on, whether that's planning an essay, working through a difficult text, or practising exam techniques on the interactive whiteboard.
