English is more than just a subject; it's a foundation for your child's future. The ability to analyse a text, whether it's a poem or a Shakespeare play like 'Macbeth', and communicate ideas clearly is vital for almost every A-Level and degree course. Strong essay-writing and comprehension skills developed now will give them a huge advantage when applying to universities like Northampton or Leicester. With 90% of our students improving by at least one grade, we can help your child build the skills they need to feel confident and prepared for their next steps.

Personalised English Support That Focuses on Your Child's Goals
The right tutor does more than just teach the curriculum; they get to know your child as an individual. We carefully select the best tutors from across the UK, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're connecting with an expert. They will take the time to understand your child's learning style, pinpoint areas of difficulty, and build a positive, encouraging relationship that makes learning feel less like a chore. Every session is built around your child's specific needs. If they're struggling to analyse quotes for their English Literature exam, the lesson will focus on that. If they need to sharpen their persuasive writing for English Language, their tutor will create exercises to help them master it. This targeted approach is why we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades, giving them the best possible chance of success. Finding that support is simple and fits around your family's life. You can browse background-checked tutors, read reviews from parents just like you, and schedule lessons at times that work for you.

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child meet the entry requirements for colleges like Sir Christopher Hatton Academy or Tresham College?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades. They can focus on the exact skills and knowledge your child needs to strengthen their application and meet the English entry requirements for competitive local sixth forms.
My child is at Huxlow Science College and I'm worried about their progress. How can a tutor help?
A private tutor can provide focused, one-to-one attention that complements their schoolwork. They can go over topics your child finds tricky, help them prepare for assessments, and build their confidence in areas like essay writing and textual analysis, ensuring they feel fully supported.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed profiles, watch introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking to ensure you find someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their 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?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes. Many of our English tutors are experts in both and can help your child across the entire syllabus. You can check their profiles for specifics or message them directly to confirm they cover the exam boards and texts your child is studying.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home in Irthlingborough.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to progress. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which can make a huge difference to your child's self-belief.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A session is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick chat about what they've been doing in school, followed by working through a specific challenge, like understanding a difficult poem, planning an essay, or practising exam techniques on the interactive whiteboard.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academics like English and Maths, your child can explore hobbies and develop new skills with expert tutors in everything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or learning a new language.
