A top grade in English is more than just a certificate; it’s a key that unlocks doors to the A-Levels, university courses, and careers your child is aiming for. The ability to confidently analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a compelling argument for 'An Inspector Calls' isn't just for exam day. These are the critical thinking and communication skills that top universities and future employers look for, giving your child a genuine advantage.

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
My child wants to study A-Levels at a competitive school like The Cherwell School. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for the step up to A-Level study. They can help your child develop the deeper analytical and independent study skills needed to meet the high standards of sought-after schools and colleges.
With the high university standards in Oxford, how can a tutor prepare my child for a Russell Group application?
Our English tutors can help your child develop the sophisticated essay-writing and critical thinking skills that Russell Group universities look for. They can work on everything from structuring complex arguments to refining their personal statement, helping their application stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profile. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a session to ensure you find the perfect match.
How can online tutoring help my child with their GCSE English exams?
A tutor provides focused, one-to-one support on the exact areas your child finds tricky, whether it's analysing poetry or planning essays. This tailored approach is incredibly effective; our data shows we can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English 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 first tutor for any reason, 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 you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level of study, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
My child lacks confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
Confidence is often the biggest barrier to progress. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. A tutor's encouragement and personalised praise can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills, not just for school. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we have expert tutors who can help.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, weekly lessons lead to the best results. The one-to-one focus allows tutors to make progress much faster than in a classroom setting, and 90% of students improve by at least one grade.
What happens in a typical one-hour English lesson?
A lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick review of the last session, then move onto a specific topic, like practising exam questions for 'A Christmas Carol' or working on a tricky piece of grammar. It's always interactive and focused on your child's goals.
