More than just a subject, English is the foundation for clear communication and critical thinking.

This ability to articulate complex thoughts is essential not just for exams, but for success in higher education and their future career.

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.

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...

My child is preparing for the 11+ exams for schools like Dulwich College and Alleyn's. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students prepare for competitive 11+ and 13+ entrance exams. You can check their profiles for specific experience with independent school entry and use the messaging tool to ask about their approach to creative writing and comprehension skills.
We're aiming for a Russell Group university. How can a tutor help with A-Level English?
Our A-Level English tutors can provide invaluable support. They help students develop the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills that top universities look for. Tutors can work with your child on specific set texts, improve their critical thinking, and help them prepare a standout personal statement.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
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.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply. This ensures you're choosing from the very best tutors across the UK.

Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. The best way is through regular communication with your tutor. They can provide feedback after each session on what was covered and how your child is progressing towards their goals.
