Why Advanced English Skills Are So Important for Your Child's Future

Strong English skills are about so much more than just passing an exam. They are the foundation for success in almost every other subject. The ability to analyse complex texts, from Shakespeare to unseen poetry, and to build a persuasive, well-structured essay is essential for A-Levels, a compelling UCAS personal statement, and thriving at a Russell Group university. Our tutors help your child master these skills, opening doors to their future.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a top Russell Group university. Can a tutor help them develop the advanced English skills needed?

Absolutely. This is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. Our tutors can go beyond the curriculum to help your child develop the sophisticated analytical and critical thinking skills that top universities look for. They can help with everything from crafting nuanced essays to preparing for interviews.

The standards at schools like Reed's and ACS Cobham are very high. Can I find a tutor experienced with this?

Yes. Many of our tutors have experience supporting students from highly academic backgrounds. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and teaching style, helping you find the perfect match for your child's specific needs in a competitive environment.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's goals before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How can tutoring help my child with their GCSE English exams?

A tutor can provide focused, one-to-one support on specific areas of the GCSE English curriculum, from exam technique to analysing set texts. This targeted help is proven to make a difference, and we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

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 experienced tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.

Are your tutors' backgrounds 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, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How can a tutor help build my child's confidence?

Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to progress. In a supportive one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Celebrating small wins and mastering tricky topics with their tutor can make a huge difference to their self-belief.

How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?

You can get started very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours. Once you've found a tutor you like and have agreed on a time, you can book your first lesson straight away.

How long does a typical tutoring session last?

Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to see what works best.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can I find tutors for other skills?

While we cover all academic subjects from primary to university level, we also have talented tutors who can help your child explore other interests. You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding or public speaking.
