Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child

English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for success across the board. The ability to understand a complex text, analyse a quote from a poem, or build a persuasive argument are skills that your child will use every single day. Strong English skills are vital for tackling the Transfer Test, achieving great GCSE and A-Level results, and ultimately writing a compelling university application that helps them stand out.

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

We're preparing for the Transfer Test for schools like Regent House. Can a tutor help with this?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children in Northern Ireland prepare for the Transfer Test. They can focus on key areas like comprehension, inference, and grammar, using past papers and targeted exercises to build both skills and confidence for the exam.

My child is hoping to go to Queen's University Belfast one day. Can a tutor support this long-term goal?

Yes. A great tutor can be a partner throughout your child's academic journey. They can help build the foundational English skills needed for excellent GCSE and A-Level results, which are crucial for applications to universities like Queen's.

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

You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs, like preparing for the Transfer Test, before booking. It's all about finding a great personality fit.

How can a tutor help my child with English comprehension and inference skills?

Tutors use one-to-one time to break down complex texts, teach your child how to spot clues, and practice reading between the lines. They can work through specific examples, identify where your child is getting stuck, and provide techniques to help them answer these tricky questions accurately.

Are your tutors familiar with the curriculum in Northern Ireland?

Yes, you can find tutors with specific experience of the CCEA curriculum for GCSE and A-Level, as well as the requirements for the NI Transfer Test. You can see their experience listed on their profile or simply ask them in a message.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £15 to £35 per hour. You can filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.

How does online tutoring work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is 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?

We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor must provide a valid DBS check, professional references, and undergo an interview. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

How long does it take to see progress?

Every child is different, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's focused entirely on their needs, which often leads to faster progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or practice a new language, you can find an expert tutor for them on Tutorful.

Why should I choose Tutorful?

Parents and students love the support we provide. With over 4,100 customer reviews and an average rating of 4.6 stars, we're a trusted choice for families across the UK. Our goal is to help you find the perfect tutor to support your child's learning.
