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.

Janan S
Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

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.
