Why a Strong English Grade is Key for Your Child in Christchurch
Strong English skills do more than just secure a good grade; they open doors. For many families in Christchurch, this starts with building the verbal reasoning skills essential for the 11+ and grammar school entry. Later on, achieving a top GCSE English grade is often a requirement for getting into competitive sixth forms and choosing desirable A-Level subjects. It builds the critical thinking and communication skills that universities like Bournemouth and Southampton look for, giving your child the best possible start.

Personalised English Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a partnership with your child. We know how important it is to find someone you trust, which is why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Our background-checked tutors get to know your child's learning style and what makes them tick, whether they need help analysing Macbeth or structuring a persuasive essay. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific goals. If they're finding algebra tricky or need to practise specific verbal reasoning questions for an entrance exam, their tutor will focus the session on turning those tricky areas into strengths. It’s this focused attention that helps 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Finding support that fits around your family's busy schedule is simple. With online tutoring, there's no need to travel. Your child can learn from the comfort of home, at a time that works for you. All you need is a laptop and an internet connection to get started.

Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Since starting lessons with Holly, Anissa’s confidence has grown noticeably, and she feels much more comfortable and positive in her learning. She really enjoys the sessions and speaks very warmly about Holly — she genuinely loves learning with her.
We’ve been very pleased with the progress so far and would highly recommend Holly to other families looking for a caring and effective tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Bournemouth and Poole grammar schools. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build confidence and master the verbal reasoning and comprehension skills needed for the entrance exams.
We're worried about getting a top GCSE grade at a school like Twynham or Highcliffe. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. Securing a grade 7 or above in GCSE English can be crucial for sixth form and A-Level choices. A tutor can provide targeted support to close any knowledge gaps and help your child aim for the grades they need. We find our support can help improve GCSE results by up to two grades.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs. This helps you find an expert your child will really connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand how important the right fit is. 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 prices, which typically range from £15 to £35 per hour depending on their experience and level of study. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.
My child has lost their confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of being wrong. Celebrating small wins and explaining things in a new way can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and verify their ID. We also carry out background checks through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). We're very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and for many children, it's even better. Online learning removes travel time, and the use of interactive digital tools can make lessons more engaging. It also gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live nearby.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works best. This provides consistency and gives your child time to practise what they've learned between sessions. However, it's completely flexible and you can arrange what works for you directly with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills! Beyond English, your child can learn anything from coding and music production to playing the guitar. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about their goals, what they enjoy, and what they find tricky in English. This helps the tutor plan future lessons that are perfectly tailored to your child.
