Personalised English Support, Right When Your Child Needs It
The right tutor does more than just teach the curriculum; they get to know your child. They'll quickly understand whether your child finds analysing Shakespearean language tricky or struggles to structure their essays. By understanding their unique learning style, a tutor can adapt their approach, building a genuine connection that helps your child feel understood and ready to learn. Every single lesson is planned around your child's specific needs. If they need to focus on exam technique for their GCSE papers or work on their creative writing, the session will be tailored to that goal. This focused attention is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, we can help your child improve their results by up to two grades, making a real difference when it comes to securing a place at their first-choice sixth form. Finding that perfect tutor is simple. You can browse profiles, watch introduction videos, and message tutors for free to make sure you've found the right fit.

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank-you for the English lessons you gave my son. After only three sessions with you, he managed to pass — and we couldn’t be happier! He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at Newham Collegiate Sixth Form (NCS). Can a tutor help my child meet the English entry requirements?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific essay writing, textual analysis, and comprehension skills needed to achieve the high GCSE grades required for entry.
My child is preparing for the Redbridge grammar school entrance exams. Do you have tutors experienced with this?
Yes. You can find tutors who specialise in 11+ and grammar school entrance exams. They are familiar with the format and demands of the English papers for schools in the Redbridge consortium and can help your child build the confidence and skills needed.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to look at their profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask about their experience with the specific areas your child needs help with, like GCSE exam preparation.
What is the 'First Lesson Guarantee'?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If, for any reason, you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How can an online tutor help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one attention in a safe space works wonders for confidence. Your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in a classroom, and the tutor can praise their progress and gently correct mistakes, helping them feel capable and motivated.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Forest Gate?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has had their ID and qualifications verified. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The focused, one-to-one support helps them make progress much faster than they would in a classroom alone.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or even pick up a new language.
What if my child has a specific learning need, like dyslexia?
Many of our tutors have experience and qualifications in supporting students with specific learning needs. You can use the filters on the search page to find tutors with this experience or message them directly to ask about their approach.
What are the benefits of one-to-one tutoring over a group class?
With one-to-one tutoring, the entire lesson is tailored to your child's individual needs and pace. There's no pressure to keep up with others, and the tutor can focus entirely on the topics your child finds most challenging, making each session incredibly effective.
