Personalised English Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
The right tutor does more than just teach a subject; they build a partnership with your child. By getting to know their specific learning style, strengths, and areas for improvement, our tutors create a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and making progress at their own pace. We handpick the best, background-checked tutors from across the UK, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands. Every online lesson is designed around your child's immediate needs. If they're struggling with creative writing for the Kent Test, the session will focus on building those specific skills. If they need to get to grips with analysing 'Macbeth' for their GCSEs, their tutor will break it down in a way that makes sense to them. This targeted approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade with Tutorful. Finding the perfect match is simple, and because all our lessons are online, you can fit them around your family's busy schedule. There's no need to travel, and you can find a time that works for everyone. It's flexible, convenient support designed to reduce stress, not add to it.

All Levels of English! KS3, GCSE, FS, A-Level English
My lessons will be led by and expertly crafted to you. I bring a wealth of teaching experience from secondary schools, primary schools, university teaching and even teaching in prison; I am yet to meet a learner I cannot inspire and thrive alongside. I had a bumpy start to my educational journey, struggling with reading and writing and I had a general hatred towards education as a whole, truly believing it 'wasn't for me'. Fast forward, and I found the recipe for achieving 12 A-A* GCSE'S, 4 A-A* A-Levels and a BA and MA from the University of Cambridge. I will help you find your learning style,...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Kent Test. Can a tutor focus specifically on the English and creative writing sections?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and the Kent Test. They can build a tailored plan focusing on comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and creative writing techniques to help your child feel confident and ready.
We're aiming for top GCSE grades (8-9) at a competitive Kent grammar school. Can a tutor provide that level of challenge?
Yes. You can browse tutors who are specialists in teaching at GCSE and A-Level, including those with experience helping students achieve the highest grades. They can stretch your child's understanding, refine their exam technique, and introduce advanced concepts to help them stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who seem like a good fit and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific goals before booking.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 prices, which typically range from £15 to £40 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we personally interview each one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from the best.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to ask questions or discuss how things are going. The goal is to work together to support your child.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident at school?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we hear about from parents. One-to-one attention in a supportive environment helps children fill in any gaps in their knowledge, ask questions they might be shy about in class, and truly master their subject. This often leads to a big boost in their confidence at school.
Can a tutor help with a personal statement for a Russell Group university application?
Many of our A-Level English tutors have extensive experience guiding students through the UCAS application process. They can help your child structure their personal statement, articulate their ideas, and showcase their passion for their chosen subject, which is vital for competitive applications.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You might want more sessions in the run-up to an exam or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss the best plan with your tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas! Your child can learn anything from coding, playing the guitar, or even learning a new language like Spanish. It's all about helping them pursue their passions.
