Expert Online English Tutors in Eltham to Support Your Child
We understand how much pressure the Bexley and Bromley 11+ exams can put on families in Eltham. When you see the demanding English and Verbal Reasoning papers, it’s natural to worry if your child’s skills are strong enough for them to do their best.
You might be concerned that without a solid foundation now, it could be harder for them to get the top 7-9 grades in their GCSE English later on, which can affect their choice of a great local sixth form or a place at a competitive London university. A dedicated one-to-one English tutor can make all the difference, creating a calm, encouraging space where your child can build both the skills and the confidence they need to succeed.

Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
English isn't just another subject; it's the key to your child's future success. The ability to understand complex texts, analyse quotes from a play like 'Macbeth', and structure a persuasive argument are essential skills. They are not only vital for passing the 11+ and securing those top GCSE grades, but they also build the confidence needed for A-Levels, applications to respected universities, and future careers. Strong communication skills give your child a huge advantage, whatever path they choose.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Bexley and Bromley 11+ exams. Can I find a tutor with specific experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are very familiar with the requirements of the Bexley and Bromley tests. You can check their profiles for specific experience and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's needs.
We're aiming for a top GCSE grade in English to get into a good local sixth form. How can a tutor help?
A tutor can provide focused support to help your child secure those crucial 7-9 grades. They can work on specific areas like exam technique, essay writing, and analysing texts in depth, building the skills and confidence needed to stand out and open doors to their preferred sixth form.
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 messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with. A good relationship is key to building confidence.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price to find a great tutor that fits your family's budget.
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, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID-checked and have an up-to-date DBS or background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help your child see that they *can* succeed, which makes a huge difference to their self-belief.
Is Tutorful just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English and Maths, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! Your child could learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English?
Every child learns at their own pace, but regular, focused sessions can make a difference quite quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few weeks.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both English Language and English Literature at GCSE and A-Level. You can see their specialisms listed on their profiles to find the perfect match for your child's needs.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
A typical lesson is tailored to your child. It might start with a quick review of the last session, then move onto a new topic like analysing a poem or planning an essay. The tutor will use the interactive whiteboard to explain concepts and work through examples together.
