Why Strong English Skills Are So Important in Hampshire
A great grade in English isn't just another box ticked; it's a key that opens doors to the best opportunities. It's essential for securing a place at a competitive sixth-form and is highly valued for degree courses at prestigious institutions like the University of Southampton. The skills your child develops – from analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument – are the same skills they'll need for A-Levels, university, and their future career.

Your child is unique, and their learning plan should be too. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

Megan G
Megan is a wonderful tutor!
My son has really enjoyed the sessions with her and she adapts them to ensure he is fully understanding the teaching.
Megan provides an overview of feedback after to each session which allows me to understand what she has covered in the session and how to future support my son.
I cannot recommend her enough!!

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.

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
My child hopes to go to Peter Symonds College. Can a tutor help them achieve the necessary GCSE English grades?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and have a great track record of helping students secure the high grades needed for competitive sixth-forms. They can focus on strengthening your child's analytical and essay-writing skills to help them meet the entry requirements.
We're thinking ahead to A-Levels and university applications to places like the University of Southampton. How can tutoring help now?
That's a great way to think. Strong GCSE English grades are the foundation for A-Level success and are crucial for applications to competitive universities. A tutor can help your child develop the deep analytical and critical thinking skills that admissions tutors at places like the University of Southampton look for.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask about their experience. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has specific experience in the area your child needs help with, whether that's GCSE Literature or creative writing.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Hampshire?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can find an experienced, qualified tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 of those who apply, so you can be completely confident in their quality and professionalism.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. When a tutor breaks down difficult topics and celebrates their progress, it can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. A tutor might review an essay your child has written, work through challenging poetry together on the whiteboard, or plan out a response to a practice exam question.
My child really struggles with analysing Shakespeare. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, definitely. This is a perfect example of how one-to-one tutoring can help. A tutor can spend the entire lesson breaking down difficult language, exploring key themes, and building your child's confidence in tackling complex texts, all at their own pace.
How does the online classroom work?
It's very straightforward. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no software to download. You can access it from anywhere.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at a different pace, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Consistent lessons are the key to building skills and knowledge that translate into better grades over time.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a new language, master a musical instrument like the guitar, or get to grips with coding, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.
