Find an Online English Tutor in Larne to Help Your Child Thrive
It's completely understandable to feel the pressure from the high standards set by local schools. When you see your child working hard, you want to know that their GCSE English grades will be strong enough to open doors to the A-Levels they want, and ultimately, a place at a great university like Queen's or Ulster.
Finding the right support can feel like a challenge, but you don't have to do it alone. One-to-one online English tutoring provides a dedicated, friendly space for your child to build confidence, tackle tricky topics, and truly understand what it takes to succeed.

Why Strong English Grades are Key for University and Beyond
Strong GCSE and A-Level English results are more than just a requirement; they are the foundation for success in higher education. The skills your child develops—from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to building a compelling argument in an essay—are exactly what they'll need for other A-Levels and for writing a strong university application. It gives them the communication and critical thinking skills that universities like Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University look for in their students.

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
My child hopes to study at Queen's University Belfast. Can a tutor help with the English requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students secure the GCSE and A-Level grades needed for competitive university courses. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques required to meet the entry criteria for universities like Queen's and Ulster University.
We're concerned about the high standards at schools like Larne Grammar. Can a tutor help my child keep up?
Yes, this is a common reason parents seek tutoring. A personal tutor can provide tailored support that complements their schoolwork, helping your child to not just keep up, but to feel confident and ahead of the curve. They can reinforce classroom learning and tackle any topics your child finds challenging.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and use our filters to find someone with the right experience. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs. It's all about finding a great match for your child's personality and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit 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?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an option that fits your budget. Prices are displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees.
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 document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. As they start to master topics they once found difficult, you'll see their confidence grow not just in English, but in their overall ability to learn.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both English Language and Literature. You can check their profiles for details or message them directly to confirm they cover the specific curriculum your child is studying.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our personalised approach is designed for real progress. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. For GCSE students, we often see an improvement of up to two grades.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
A typical lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick review of the last session, then move on to tackling a specific area they're struggling with, like analysing a poem or structuring an essay. The tutor will use the interactive whiteboard to work through examples together.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or music?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Your child can learn everything from coding languages like Python to playing the guitar. It's a great way for them to explore new interests with an expert guide.
