Personalised English Tutoring to Help Your Child Succeed
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That’s why we’re so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is an expert in their subject and has been background-checked, so you can feel completely reassured. They will take the time to understand your child's unique learning style and what they find difficult, creating a supportive partnership built on trust. Because every child learns differently, every lesson is tailored to their specific needs. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, your child’s tutor will focus on the exact areas they need to improve, whether that's understanding Shakespearean language or getting to grips with poetry analysis. This focused attention is how 90% of students improve by at least one grade, with many GCSE students improving by up to two. With online tutoring, you can find the perfect English expert for your child without leaving home. Lessons are flexible and can be scheduled to fit around your family’s commitments, taking the stress out of after-school support. It's a simple, effective way to get your child the help they need, which is why over 4,100 parents have rated us 4.6 stars.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at Peter Symonds or Havant & South Downs. Can a tutor help them meet the GCSE English entry requirements?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the specific GCSE grades needed for competitive sixth forms and colleges. They can focus on the exact skills required by the English literature and language papers to help your child meet and exceed those entry requirements.
We live in Horndean. Can a tutor help my child prepare for university applications to places like Southampton or Portsmouth?
Definitely. Many of our English tutors have experience supporting students with their UCAS applications, from crafting compelling personal statements to honing the analytical skills needed for university-level study. This can be a huge advantage when applying to competitive courses.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a session. This helps you find someone your child will connect with.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help students replace anxiety with self-belief.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must have a valid DBS check. We are also very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child and their tutor to focus on learning.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child is different, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of students who have regular lessons with us improve by at least one academic grade.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A session is tailored to your child's goals. It might start with a quick review of a school topic, then move onto tackling a specific area they find tricky, like analysing unseen poetry or practising exam-style questions. The focus is always on your child's individual needs.
Can we try just one lesson to see if it's a good fit?
Of course. There are no contracts or long-term commitments. You can book a single lesson to make sure the tutor is the right match for your child. If it's not a perfect fit, our First Lesson Guarantee has you covered.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
While we cover all core academic subjects for exams like the 11+, GCSEs and A-Levels, we also have tutors for hundreds of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or speak a new language, we can help.
