Susan S
Highly experienced English tutor
I have over 30 years' classroom teaching experience and have taught students from 4 to 16 years of age, but mainly in Key Stage 2. As a Y6 teacher, my students' end of year results regularly showed accelerated progress in English, Maths and SPAG. Five years ago, I moved to online teaching, focusing on preparing students for SATs and Common Entrance exams (11+ and 13+) and teaching groups of students on the National Tutoring Programme. I now divide my time between 121 English tutoring in a secondary school and online KS2/3 English and KS2 maths tuition.My English classes are geared towards encouraging...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to study A-Levels at Ecclesbourne or Lady Manners. Can a tutor help them secure the GCSE English grade they need?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms. They can focus specifically on strengthening the analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the higher grades in GCSE English, giving your child the best possible chance of securing their place.

Can an English tutor help with a personal statement for applying to universities like Sheffield or Nottingham?

Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements for their UCAS applications. They can help your child articulate their strengths and ambitions, which is a crucial step towards securing a place at their preferred university.

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

You can watch introduction videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's specific needs – do they need help with a particular text, or general confidence-building? Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How much does online English tutoring in Derbyshire cost?

Prices are set by the individual tutors and vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with rates clearly displayed on every profile.

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 a tutor help my child build confidence in English?

One-to-one tuition provides a safe and supportive space where there are no 'silly' questions. 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 in class.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

Can we get help with specific texts, like 'An Inspector Calls' or poetry?

Of course. That's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tuition. A tutor can dedicate entire lessons to analysing specific characters, themes, and contexts in any set text, helping your child build a deep understanding for their exams.

How quickly can we expect to see results?

Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tuition.

What if my child needs help with something other than English?

We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects. Whether your child needs support with GCSE Maths, A-Level Chemistry, or even learning the guitar, you can find a brilliant, background-checked tutor on our platform.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

It's for so much more! While we offer fantastic academic support for everything from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors who can teach life-long skills and hobbies, including coding, learning a new language, or playing a musical instrument.
