Online English Tutors in Herefordshire to Help Your Child Get the Grades They Need
We know how much you want to see your child thrive, and in Herefordshire, that often means aiming for a place at Hereford Sixth Form College. It's completely understandable to worry that a single GCSE English grade could stand in their way, potentially limiting their A-Level choices and future options.
One-to-one online tutoring offers a supportive partnership to navigate this pressure. A dedicated English tutor can work with your child to build their skills and, just as importantly, their confidence, ensuring they feel fully prepared and ready to succeed.

Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade needed for Hereford Sixth Form College?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades. They can identify the exact areas your child needs to work on to secure a grade 5, 6, or higher, building both their skills and their confidence ahead of their exams.
My child hopes to go to a university like Bristol or Birmingham. How can an English tutor help now?
Strong GCSE and A-Level grades are crucial for applications to competitive universities. An English tutor can build a solid foundation right now that will help your child excel in their future studies. They can also provide invaluable support with writing personal statements when the time comes.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It’s important to find someone your child connects with. You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before booking to discuss your child's specific goals and learning style.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. 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.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour, depending on their experience. There are no contracts or hidden fees, so you have the flexibility to pay as you go for each lesson.
How can a tutor help if my child's confidence is low?
A one-to-one lesson is a safe and supportive space. Your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed in front of a class. This personal encouragement from an expert who believes in them is often the key to rebuilding their self-belief.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we verify their ID. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard for working through problems together, and a tool for sharing documents and past papers. It’s simple, effective, and all in one place.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Many parents find it even more effective. You get access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just those who live nearby. Plus, lessons are recorded, so your child can re-watch them anytime to help with revision.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most students have one lesson a week, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and your family. You might decide to have more frequent sessions in the run-up to an important exam.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with core subjects, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies. Your child could learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or even get started with coding.
What can we expect from the first lesson?
The first session is usually about the tutor getting to know your child. They'll have a friendly chat about what your child enjoys, what they find tricky in English, and what their goals are. This helps the tutor create a plan that's tailored perfectly for them.
