Why a Strong Grasp of English is Key for Your Child's Future
English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for success in almost every other area of study. Strong comprehension skills are vital for the 11+ exam, while being able to analyse a text like 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive essay is crucial for top GCSE and A-Level grades. These are the skills that will open doors for your child, giving them the best possible choice of colleges, universities, and future careers.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a grammar school place in Redbridge. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ and entrance exam preparation. They have extensive experience with the verbal reasoning, comprehension, and creative writing components required for schools like Ilford County High and Woodford County High, and can create a tailored plan to help your child feel prepared and confident.
We're considering Chingford Foundation School for sixth form. Can a tutor help my child get the top GCSE English grades they need?
Yes, we can. Securing high grades in GCSE English Language and Literature is key for accessing competitive A-Level courses. Our tutors can provide targeted support on everything from essay structure and textual analysis to exam technique, helping your child achieve the grades they need for their next step.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to discuss your child's specific needs, ensuring you find the perfect fit.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to 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 in Chingford cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can have complete peace of mind.
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 the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the boost in confidence it gives a child. Having a supportive expert guide them in a friendly, low-pressure environment helps them see what they're capable of, which often has a positive impact on all their subjects.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, weekly lessons lead to the best results. Many parents tell us they see a change in their child's confidence and attitude towards a subject within just a few sessions.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic subjects from Primary to University level, we also have expert tutors who can teach hobbies and professional skills like coding, learning a musical instrument, or even public speaking.
How long is a typical lesson?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find works best for maintaining focus and making real progress. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to see what works best for your child.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can cancel or reschedule a lesson with your tutor, but we ask that you provide at least 12 hours' notice as per our cancellation policy.
