My child has their heart set on Greenhead College. Can a tutor help with that?

Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the high grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus specifically on the skills and knowledge required to target a grade 7, 8, or 9 in GCSE English, strengthening your child's application.

We're hoping for a Russell Group university like Leeds or Sheffield. How can an English tutor help now?

A strong GCSE in English is a vital stepping stone for a top university application. A tutor helps build a solid foundation of critical thinking and analytical skills that are essential for A-Levels and beyond. Securing a great grade now keeps their options open for the future.

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

You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and a short video introduction. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. You can even message them for free before booking to ensure they're a perfect match.

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

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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 English tutor in Holmfirth cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £15. The price is based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity and background check, before they can start teaching.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tuition provides a safe, encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to grasp difficult topics and see their skills improve, their confidence naturally grows, both in the subject and in themselves.

What happens in a typical online English lesson?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through past paper questions with your child, help them plan an essay, or break down a complex text together.

Can a tutor help with both GCSE English Language and English Literature?

Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both parts of the GCSE curriculum. You can check their profiles or message them directly to confirm they cover the specific exam board and texts your child is studying.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families opt for one hour-long lesson per week, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and their goals, whether that's regular weekly support or a few intensive sessions before an exam.

Is this just for academic subjects like English and Maths?

While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for modern languages, musical instruments like guitar and piano, and even practical skills like coding.

How do I know if my child is making progress?
