Personalised English Tuition to Meet Your Child's Goals
We know every child learns differently. That’s why our tutors take the time to understand your child’s individual strengths and where they need a little more help. By building a positive, supportive relationship, they create a space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and exploring new ideas, whether it's mastering poetic techniques or structuring a persuasive essay. Forget one-size-fits-all lessons. Every session is designed around your child’s specific curriculum and goals. If they're struggling with comprehension for their 11+ entrance exam, the lesson will focus on that. If they need to sharpen their analysis of unseen poetry for A-Levels, that becomes the priority. This targeted approach means your child makes real, noticeable progress. Finding the right support shouldn’t add to your family’s busy schedule. With our online platform, you can connect with the best English tutors from across the UK, right from your home in Dulwich. Lessons are easy to book and can be scheduled at times that work for you, making it simple to fit expert tuition around school, clubs, and family life.

Rachael H
Friendly, therapeutic English, Art & Film tutor English
Hi, I’m Rachael, an experienced and skilled tutor of English, Art and Film. I’ve been teaching children and teenagers throughout the last ten years to help them get the knowledge, grades and skills they’re looking for. I take a creative and pupil-led approach to tutoring and believe that the pupil is the expert in their own learning preferences and style. Before we start working, I like to meet pupils first to understand where they’re currently at with their subject and to understand where they’re struggling. It’s helpful to know teachers’ feedback, the grades you’re aspiring to get and how muc...

Emily S
Highly experienced English and English tutor
I am an experienced tutor with a patient and creative approach. In my 20 years working as a tutor I have found that encouraging a child’s confidence and creativity are invaluable in unlocking their potential and achieving to the best of their ability. School environments are not alwaysmostsuitable for all children and they may feel pressured or shy when surrounded by their peers. As such, I try to re-enforce my position as a tutor rather than a teacher, and look for innovative and fun ways to encourage pupils to learn. I read with all my younger pupils, regardless of the subject I am teaching, a...

Jessica M
Amazing tutor! I went from a weak grade 3 in English Language to being just one mark off a 6. Lessons were clear, supportive, and really boosted my confidence. I couldn’t have done it without their help and would 100% recommend.

Ameena tutored our son for an English language retake and he got an 8! He went up 3 grades from a 5. Her tutoring was focussed and responsive and she did it all over about 7 weeks. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much Ameena!

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's needs before booking.
