We know that every child learns differently. That's why our tutors take the time to understand your child's specific strengths and where they need a bit more help. They'll create a friendly, encouraging environment where your child feels comfortable to build their skills, whether that's structuring an essay or understanding a tricky poem. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best. Every online lesson is designed specifically for your child. If they're struggling with Shakespeare, their tutor will focus on that. If creative writing is their weak spot, the session will be built around improving those skills.

Janan S
Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

Alexander A
We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Knowsley Community College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure that crucial Grade 4 or 5 in GCSE English. They can focus on exam technique, understanding the mark scheme, and building core skills to help your child meet the entry requirements for local colleges and apprenticeships.
We live in Knowsley, does the tutor have to be local?
No, and that's the great thing about online tutoring! Your child can connect with the best English tutors from across the UK, not just those in the local area. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists who can match your child's specific learning style and needs.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect match for your child. If you don't get on with your tutor in the first session for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's part of our First Lesson Guarantee.
Is this just for school subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said in their reviews. We recommend messaging a few tutors to explain your child's goals. Finding someone your child gets on with is the most important first step.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors on our site by price to find someone who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space where your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. This personal attention helps them overcome hurdles at their own pace, and seeing their own progress is the best confidence booster there is.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and provided professional references. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions last for one hour, as this is usually the most effective length of time to keep students engaged. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
What happens in an online lesson?
Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space for sharing documents. Tutors use these tools to create engaging, tailored lessons. It means your child can work through an essay, analyse a text, or practise grammar in real-time with their tutor's guidance.
How quickly can we start?
You can often find and book a tutor for your child's first lesson within 24-48 hours. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute video chat so you can get to know them before you commit to a lesson.
Do I need any special equipment for online tutoring?
All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and runs directly in your web browser, so there's no software to install.
