How English Success Sets Your Child Up for the Future

Strong English skills are the foundation for success across all subjects. Whether it's understanding a tricky question in a science exam or writing a compelling history essay, clear communication is key. Achieving a high grade in GCSE English Language isn't just about passing an exam; it's a vital qualification that opens doors to A-Levels, and is often a non-negotiable for getting into top universities like Queen's or Ulster University.

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging. My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor. Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different. My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor! Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile. Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn. We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun. Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're aiming for a grammar school in Newry or Downpatrick. Can a tutor help my child prepare for the Transfer Test?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and Transfer Tests. They can work with your child to build core comprehension and literacy skills, improve their timing, and boost their confidence ahead of the exam.

My child attends Kilkeel High School. Can a tutor help them achieve top grades in their GCSE English Language?

Yes. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can provide targeted support to help your child secure the best possible grade. They can help with everything from essay structure and textual analysis to exam technique, focusing on the specific areas your child finds most challenging.

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

You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a short introductory chat to see if they're a good fit before you book. The key is finding someone your child feels comfortable with.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We know that the right fit is essential 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 do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We also personally interview each tutor and verify their qualifications to ensure they are experts in their field. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.

How much does an online English tutor in Kilkeel cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see each tutor's price per hour clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your family's budget.

How can an English tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their own pace and seeing real progress, they start to believe in their own abilities, which can have a positive impact on their schoolwork and beyond.

What happens in a typical online English lesson?

Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which features a whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing. A tutor might review homework, work through tricky concepts like poetry analysis, or practise exam-style questions, always tailoring the session to your child's needs.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from learning an instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking.

How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?

Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week is effective, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child's needs and your family's routine. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.

Do we need any special equipment for online tutoring?

All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no special software to download.

Can tutoring help if my child has fallen behind in English?

Yes, it's an excellent way to help your child catch up. A tutor can identify the specific gaps in their knowledge and create a plan to fill them, rebuilding their confidence and helping them get back on track with their classmates.
