Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child

English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for success in almost every other area of study. From analysing poetry to writing a persuasive essay, the skills your child develops in English are skills for life. Achieving a strong grade in English Language and Literature at GCSE is often essential for getting into the most competitive A-Level courses and, later on, for securing a place at universities like Queen's or Ulster.

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

My child is preparing for the transfer test for Cookstown High or Rainey Endowed. Can a tutor help?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and local transfer tests. They can build your child's confidence in core reading comprehension and writing skills, and help them get familiar with the exam format in a calm, supportive way.

We're aiming for a top English GCSE grade for a university application to Queen's or Ulster. Can a tutor focus on this?

Definitely. A dedicated tutor can be a huge help in aiming for those top GCSE grades. They can work with your child on everything from analysing complex texts to refining their exam technique. We know how important these grades are, and studies have shown our tutoring can help improve GCSE results by up to two grades.

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

You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat so you can see if they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning style before you book.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £45 per hour. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.

Are the tutors background checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?

Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them feel much more capable and positive about English.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s designed to be engaging and easy to use, so your child can focus on learning.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

The standard session length is one hour, which most families find works perfectly. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor if your child would benefit from a shorter or longer session.

Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?

While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child can learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language, all with our expert tutors.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most students have one lesson a week, as this provides consistency and allows them to build momentum. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can arrange lessons more or less frequently depending on your child's needs and goals.

What makes Tutorful a good choice for parents?

We're trusted by thousands of families across the UK. With over 4,100 customer reviews giving us an average rating of 4.6 stars, we're proud to provide a supportive, safe, and effective way for you to help your child succeed.
