Why a Top English Grade is Crucial for Their Future
English isn't just another GCSE; it's the foundation for success in further education and beyond. Strong analytical and communication skills are essential for A-Levels, and they're what top universities, including those in the Russell Group, look for. Whether it's deconstructing a poem or building a persuasive argument, mastering English gives your child the tools they need to succeed in any subject and future career they choose. For many of the 200,000+ happy students who've used Tutorful, this has been the key that opens the door.

The Right English Support to Help Your Child Stand Out
We believe the right tutor does more than just teach; they inspire confidence. That's why we're so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked and hand-picked for their expertise, so you can find someone who understands your child’s specific learning style and goals. It’s a partnership designed to help your child feel understood and capable. Every one-to-one session is built around your child. If they're struggling with the themes in 'Macbeth' or find poetry analysis tricky, their tutor can create lessons that focus on those exact areas until they click. This tailored approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with GCSE results often improving by up to two grades. It's focused support that makes a real difference. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's schedule. With our online platform, you can connect with the best English tutors from across the UK without leaving your home in Crook. Lessons can be scheduled at times that suit you, whether it's after school or on a weekend, making it easy to fit effective, personalised learning into your life.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for Durham Sixth Form Centre. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the high grades needed for competitive colleges. They can focus on strengthening the specific analytical and essay-writing skills that will help your child's application stand out and prepare them for the demands of A-Level study.
We live in Crook, but are the tutors local?
Because all our tutoring is online, your child can connect with the very best English tutors from all over the UK, not just those in the local area. This gives you a much wider choice of experts who can match your child's specific needs and learning style.
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, 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?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to discuss your child's needs before booking. Look for someone whose experience aligns with your child's goals, whether that's building confidence, mastering essay skills, or aiming for a top GCSE grade.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check, before they can start teaching.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one lessons create a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors can break down complex topics into manageable steps and celebrate small wins, which gradually builds your child's self-belief and encourages them to participate more actively.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience, typically ranging from £15 to £40 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE English texts like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, definitely. Tutors can provide targeted support on specific curriculum texts, helping your child explore characters, themes, and context in depth. They can work on analysing key quotes and structuring high-scoring essays for their specific exam board.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. A tutor might work through a tricky piece of poetry with your child on the whiteboard, review an essay together, or practise exam techniques.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss progress and see how their confidence and understanding are growing session by session. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's attitude towards the subject.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which is usually ideal for maintaining focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's concentration and your family's schedule.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we have experts in all core academic subjects, we also offer tutoring in a wide range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python, you can find brilliant tutors to support your child's hobbies and passions too.
