Give Your Child Confidence with an Online English Tutor in Donaghadee
It's completely understandable to feel the pressure of the Transfer Test. When you see places at brilliant schools like Bangor Grammar and Regent House School on the horizon, you want to give your child the very best chance.

It’s a partnership designed to help them tackle tricky topics, feel prepared for their exams, and rediscover a love for the subject.

Strong English Skills: From the Transfer Test to University
A solid grasp of English is the key that unlocks so many doors for your child. It starts with building the comprehension and writing skills needed to walk into the AQE or GL exams with confidence. But it goes far beyond that. These skills are essential for analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' at GCSE, crafting compelling essays at A-Level, and ultimately, putting together a strong application for a competitive degree at a university like Queen's University Belfast.

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!

Holly has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter, Anissa. She is patient, encouraging and explains things in a clear and supportive way.
Since starting lessons with Holly, Anissa’s confidence has grown noticeably, and she feels much more comfortable and positive in her learning. She really enjoys the sessions and speaks very warmly about Holly — she genuinely loves learning with her.
We’ve been very pleased with the progress so far and would highly recommend Holly to other families looking for a caring and effective tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child prepare for the AQE/GL Transfer Test for schools like Bangor Grammar?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children in Northern Ireland prepare for the Transfer Test. They can build a tailored plan focusing on the comprehension, grammar, and writing skills your child needs to feel confident and prepared for the exam.
My child hopes to study at Queen's University Belfast. Can a tutor support them long-term?
Definitely. Our tutors can provide continuous support right through your child's school journey. They can help build a strong foundation for GCSE and A-Level English, helping your child secure the grades they need for competitive university courses.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will respond to.
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 much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price to find a great tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden costs.
How do you make sure tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced background check before they can teach on our platform. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 to ensure the highest quality.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence?
Confidence is key. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-esteem and change their whole attitude towards English.
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 way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your own home.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is different because it's tailored to your child. A tutor might spend the time working through past Transfer Test papers, practising creative writing techniques, or breaking down a tricky poem for a school assignment. The focus is always on what your child needs most at that moment.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set rule. Some parents use tutoring for a short-term boost before an exam, while others prefer weekly lessons to provide consistent support throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals with your tutor to decide on the best approach together.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects! Alongside core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can find expert tutors for music, languages, and even practical skills like coding. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and interests too.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. One of the great benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the direct feedback. Your tutor will keep you updated on your child's progress, and you can always message them to discuss how things are going and what the plan is for upcoming lessons.
