Why a Strong Grasp of English Matters for Your Child
English is more than just a core subject; it’s the foundation for clear communication and critical thinking. From analysing the themes in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument, the skills your child develops in English are essential. A strong GCSE or A-Level in English opens doors to further education at college or university and is highly valued by employers in every career path.

Personalised English Support That Builds Real Confidence
The right tutor does more than just teach the curriculum; they act as a mentor for your child. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you’re choosing from the best. They take the time to understand your child’s unique learning style and personality, creating a supportive space where they feel comfortable asking questions and making progress. Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they're finding poetry analysis difficult, their tutor will focus on that.

This focused approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Arranging support for your child shouldn't add to your busy schedule.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Finding the perfect match is easy. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking your first session.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit is for your child's learning. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts.
My child attends Formby High School. Can we find a tutor familiar with their curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have extensive experience with the national curriculum, including the specific exam boards used by schools like Formby High. You can check their profiles for details or message them directly to ask about their experience with your child's schoolwork.
Are the tutors also based in Formby?
Because all our lessons are online, you get access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just those in your local area. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists who can perfectly match your child's needs and learning style, all from the comfort of your home.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so your child and their tutor can work through everything from grammar exercises to essay plans together in real-time.
Are your English tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must have a valid DBS check (or equivalent) and provide references before they can join our platform. We personally interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors can break down difficult topics and celebrate small wins, helping your child see their own progress and feel more capable in the classroom.
Can a tutor help with GCSE or A-Level English?
Definitely. Many of our tutors are specialists in exam preparation. They can help your child understand the mark scheme, improve their exam technique, and revise key texts and topics to help them feel fully prepared. For GCSEs, we can help improve your child's results by up to 2 grades.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson per 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 know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going. The best sign of progress is often seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have experts in all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also offer tutoring in a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to code, play the guitar, or speak a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor to help them.
