It gives your child the confidence to express their ideas clearly, whether they're analysing a poem, structuring a persuasive essay, or one day applying to a top London university.

One-to-One English Support That Focuses on Your Child's Goals
The right tutor does more than just teach; they listen. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is supported by an expert who is background-checked and dedicated to their success. They take the time to understand your child's unique learning style, pinpointing the exact areas where they need a bit more help – whether it's navigating tricky grammar for the 11+ or getting to grips with Shakespeare for their GCSEs. Every lesson is built around your child. If they're finding creative writing for the Kent Test a challenge, their tutor can focus on building those storytelling skills. If they need to practise analysing quotes from 'An Inspector Calls', the session will be tailored to that specific task. This personalised approach means your child makes real, noticeable progress, which is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade with us.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Kent Test. Can I find a tutor with 11+ experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have specific experience helping children in Kent build the comprehension, writing, and grammar skills needed for the test. You can check each tutor's profile for their specific experience.
We're aiming for a place at Dartford Grammar. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?
Yes. While we can't guarantee a place, our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child feel as prepared and confident as possible. They can focus on the specific types of questions and skills that are essential for success in the entrance exams for schools like Dartford Grammar and Wilmington Grammar.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
We make it easy. You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience, such as 'GCSE' or '11+'. You can also read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos, and message tutors for free to make sure you find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
How much does an online English tutor in Dartford cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons 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. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
My child lacks confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
Confidence is often the biggest hurdle. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe and encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help build your child's self-belief, which makes a huge difference in the classroom.
Can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English exams?
Yes, our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum. They can provide targeted support to help your child improve their exam technique, understand set texts, and refine their writing skills. In fact, our data shows we can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades.
How soon will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised focus of one-to-one tutoring often leads to progress quite quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within the first few sessions.
Is tutoring only for school subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills too?
It's for so much more! While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects from primary school to university level, you can also find experts to help your child learn a musical instrument like the guitar, master coding, or even develop a new hobby.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A session is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick chat about what they've been doing in school, followed by focusing on a specific area, like analysing a poem, planning an essay, or practising grammar exercises on the interactive whiteboard. The goal is always to be productive, supportive, and engaging.
