Strong English skills give your child the tools to communicate their ideas with confidence, wherever their path takes them.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Wyke Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE English specialists with a great track record of helping students secure the grades they need for their first-choice college. They can focus on the specific skills your child needs to improve, whether that's essay writing or exam technique, to help them feel confident and prepared.
We're thinking about applications to universities like Hull or York. How can an English tutor help?
That's a great goal. A strong command of English is vital for university applications. A tutor can help your child hone the analytical and writing skills needed for A-Levels, and can also be a brilliant mentor when it comes to drafting a compelling personal statement that stands out.
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 experience. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs. It’s all about finding someone your child will click with.
How much does an English tutor in East Riding of Yorkshire cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find someone who fits your budget, with prices starting from £15 per hour.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have had their ID verified and have undergone a background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their 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, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
Confidence is key. One-to-one tutoring creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor celebrates small wins and breaks down difficult topics, helping your child rebuild their self-belief one step at a time.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's simple to use and means your child can learn from the comfort of your home.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum! From learning a new language or a musical instrument like the guitar, to developing skills like coding, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
How long should a tutoring session be?
Most sessions are an hour long, which is usually enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one session a week works well, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your chosen tutor.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are simple and secure. Once a lesson is complete, your payment is automatically processed using the card details you add to your account. You don't need to worry about cash or bank transfers.
