Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
More than just a qualification, English develops the vital communication and analytical skills your child will need for life. A strong grasp of the subject is essential for A-Level study and is highly valued by top universities like Southampton and Portsmouth. It gives your child the confidence to express their ideas clearly, whether they're writing a personal statement or, one day, stepping into their first job interview. It's the foundation for so many future opportunities.

Raquel A
Supportive and Structured English Tutor
Hello and welcome! My name is Raquel and I look forward to meeting you soon. In the meantime, allow me to share with you why I choose to tutor: Mixed memories of middle school and college spring to mind. Excitement bubbling up to return to school after a fun and well spend summer holiday with family and friends. What formed part of the anticipation was the sense of being ready. Ready to sit in class with fellow classmates, ready to take home homework, planning and organising assignments. It may seem as if I had forgotten the stress and pressure I found myself under in the previous school year,...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at The Island VI Form. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students prepare for their GCSEs. They can focus on the specific skills and knowledge needed to achieve the grades required for entry into sixth forms like The Island VI Form, building both your child's skills and their confidence ahead of their exams.
We're worried about our child competing for a place at a university like Southampton or Portsmouth. How can an English tutor help?
A strong command of English is crucial for a compelling university application. Beyond exam preparation, our tutors can help your child develop advanced analytical and writing skills. They can also provide invaluable support with crafting a standout personal statement that effectively communicates your child's strengths and ambitions.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is essential for learning. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and use our messaging system to chat with them before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat to discuss your child's needs.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and professional?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all pass a background check. We're very selective – only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform, so you can be confident your child is in good hands.
My child's confidence in English is very low. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is a brilliant way to build confidence. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Celebrating small wins and making steady progress with a dedicated tutor can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from around £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a secure and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most of our students have one lesson a week, as this consistency helps to build momentum. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange lessons as often as you and your child feel is necessary, whether that's a one-off session before a test or regular weekly support.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also believe in learning for life. Your child can explore a new passion or develop a practical skill with tutors for subjects like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even public speaking.
How can I track my child's progress?
You can stay involved by chatting with the tutor through our messaging system. After each lesson, the tutor will often provide feedback on what was covered and the progress made. This partnership ensures you're always aware of how your child is getting on.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will want to understand their strengths, weaknesses, and learning goals. They'll work together to build a rapport and create a relaxed learning environment, setting the foundation for future progress.
