He has also hugely improved his confidence, and his writing ability in other subjects such as History has improved as well. Ben has a relaxed, respectful and friendly approach that my son has really gotten on with, and he is enjoying feeling more confident for his English Language and Literature exams this year. I highly recommend Ben for your child's tuition.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Edgbarrow School. Can a tutor help them aim for grades 7-9 in GCSE English?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and have a great track record of helping students achieve top grades. They can work with your child on the specific skills needed, from detailed text analysis to exam technique, to help them confidently target those higher grades.
We're worried about the step up to A-Levels. Can a tutor build the essay skills needed for top universities?
Yes, this is a perfect goal for tutoring. A tutor can help your child move beyond the GCSE framework to develop the critical thinking and sophisticated essay-writing skills required for A-Levels and for crafting compelling personal statements for Russell Group university applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It’s all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone your child will really connect with.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your own home, without the need for travel.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our priority. We personally interview every tutor and they must have a valid DBS check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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 much do online English tutors in Crowthorne cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices typically start from £15 per hour and vary based on the tutor's experience and level of study. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete flexibility.
Can tutoring really improve my child's GCSE English grade?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. The focused, one-to-one attention helps target areas where your child needs the most support. In fact, our data shows that regular tutoring can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades.
My child finds analysing Shakespeare really difficult. How can a tutor help?
This is a very common challenge. A great tutor can bring texts like 'Macbeth' or 'Romeo and Juliet' to life, breaking down complex language and themes into manageable chunks. They use techniques that build understanding and confidence, so your child feels prepared for any question that comes up.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor to fit your child's needs, whether that's more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam or fortnightly top-ups.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to both you and your child. You can discuss progress and goals directly with your tutor through our messaging system, helping you stay informed and confident in the support your child is receiving.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like creative writing or a new language?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to explore creative writing, learn to play the guitar, or even get started with coding, you can find brilliant, passionate tutors to help them discover a new skill.
