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.

Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor, who has been teaching English Language & Literature, and Religious Studies online since 2013. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education.While I am a passionate tutor of each of these two subjects individually, more importantly I feel that my experience in each subject contributes something to the other.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

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.
