Online English Tutors in Groby to Help Your Child Secure Top Grades

It’s completely understandable to want the very best for your child. When you see the high standards at nearby colleges like Beauchamp or Leicester Grammar School, you know that a standard pass in GCSE English might not be enough to secure a place on the most competitive A-Level courses. That worry can grow when you think ahead to university applications for places like Loughborough or Leicester. One-to-one online English tutoring provides the focused, personal support your child needs to go beyond just passing. It’s about building the skills and confidence to achieve the grades that will open doors for them.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to study A-Levels at Beauchamp College. Can a tutor help them achieve the top GCSE English grades needed?

Yes, absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students secure the high grades needed for competitive sixth forms and colleges. They can focus on exam technique, essay writing, and textual analysis to help your child stand out and meet the entry requirements.

We're looking ahead to universities like Loughborough or Leicester. How can English tutoring strengthen a future application?

Strong English skills are fundamental to a successful university application. A tutor can help your child develop the clarity and critical thinking needed for A-Levels, and also guide them in crafting a compelling personal statement that truly showcases their abilities.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. Many have introductory videos, and you can read detailed reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning needs.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study, but you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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 all your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

How can tutoring help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their own pace with an encouraging expert, they can turn 'I can't do this' into 'I understand'. This boost in confidence often has a positive impact on their schoolwork in general.

How do online lessons work?

Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child can work through problems, analyse texts, and practice exam questions with their tutor in real-time, just as they would in person.

How often should my child have lessons?

Most families find that one session a week works well for consistent progress, especially in the run-up to exams like GCSEs. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.

Can a tutor help with the specific books and poems my child is studying at school?

Definitely. Our tutors are experienced with the national curriculum and specific exam board requirements. You can find a tutor who specialises in the texts your child is studying, whether it's Shakespeare, modern prose, or unseen poetry.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You'll be able to see their confidence grow, and this is usually reflected in their schoolwork, test results, and overall attitude towards English. You can also message your tutor at any time to check in.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something new like coding or playing the guitar?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, from learning an instrument and a new language to coding.
