Find an Online English Tutor in Crofton to Help Your Child Thrive
We know how much pressure there is for children in Crofton, especially with highly competitive grammar school places at schools like St Olave's and Newstead Wood on the line. It's natural to worry if your child's creative writing or verbal reasoning skills are strong enough for the demanding 11-plus exam, and what it might mean for their future if they don't secure a place.
Finding the right one-to-one support can make all the difference. An experienced English tutor can help your child build not just their skills, but also their confidence, giving them a supportive space to grow and prepare at their own pace.

David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

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!

He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the 11-plus for schools like St Olave's or Newstead Wood. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11-plus and common entrance exam preparation. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in verbal reasoning, creative writing, and helping children prepare for the unique demands of grammar school entrance tests. You can even message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum for schools in Crofton?
While our tutors are based across the UK, they are all experts in the National Curriculum. Many have specific experience with the requirements of various school entrance exams, including those for selective schools in the South East. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that the tutor will tailor their approach to your child's specific schoolwork and learning goals.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Your peace of mind is our priority. We have a First Lesson Guarantee, which means 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a great question. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone with the right experience who your child gets along with is key to success.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically range from £25 to £50 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child can work through problems, analyse texts, and get instant feedback, all from the comfort of home.
How do I know my child is safe online?
Your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors must pass an enhanced background check before they can join the platform. We also record all lessons, which you can review at any time, providing complete transparency and peace of mind for you.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. A one-to-one lesson is a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Our tutors are experts at building confidence by celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics, which can make a huge difference to how your child feels about their learning.
How quickly will my child see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for the subject.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have expert tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child's needs. A tutor might start by reviewing a recent piece of schoolwork, then move on to practising a specific skill like analysing poetry or structuring an essay. They'll use the interactive whiteboard to make learning engaging and ensure your child understands each concept before moving on.
Why should I choose Tutorful?
We're trusted by thousands of families across the UK, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. We help you find the very best tutors – we only accept 1 in 8 who apply – and provide a safe, flexible, and supportive learning environment designed to help your child succeed.
