Why a Strong English Grade is Key to Your Child's Future
English is more than just a core subject; it’s the foundation for success in higher education and beyond. Strong analytical and communication skills are exactly what top Russell Group universities, like the University of Leeds and York, look for in applicants. Whether it’s crafting a persuasive essay, unpicking the language in a Shakespeare play, or clearly structuring an argument, the skills your child develops in English will open doors to the most sought-after A-Level and degree courses.

Personalised English Support to Help Your Child Thrive
We believe the best learning happens when it’s built on trust and understanding. That's why we’re so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked and an expert in their field. They get to know your child as an individual – understanding their strengths and the areas where they feel stuck – to create a supportive partnership where your child feels comfortable asking questions and building real confidence. Imagine lessons planned entirely around your child’s needs. If they’re struggling with poetry analysis for their GCSEs or need to refine their essay technique for A-Levels, their tutor can focus the whole session on that specific area. This tailored approach is incredibly effective – it’s why 90% of students improve by at least one grade. For GCSE English, our students can see their results improve by up to two grades. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's busy schedule. With online tutoring, you can connect with the perfect English tutor from anywhere in the UK, at a time that works for you. No travel, no fuss – just high-quality, convenient learning that fits seamlessly into your life in Leeds.

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of Leeds. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced critical thinking and essay-writing skills that Russell Group universities look for. Many can also provide invaluable guidance on personal statements, helping your child articulate their passion for their chosen subject.
With schools like The Grammar School at Leeds setting a high bar, how can a tutor help my child keep up?
A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space away from the pressure of a busy classroom. They can help fill any knowledge gaps, reinforce what's being taught in school, and work at your child's specific pace to build their confidence and subject mastery.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents. We also encourage you to send introductory messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking your first lesson.
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 hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour, based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a great tutor who fits your budget.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background-checked. We are also very selective, accepting just 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to ensure the highest quality.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
Often, a lack of confidence comes from small gaps in understanding. One-to-one tutoring allows your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class, ensuring they fully grasp concepts before moving on. This mastery builds true confidence.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. The frequency is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families start with one session a week, especially in the run-up to exams like GCSEs or A-Levels.
How can a tutor help with GCSE English specifically?
Our tutors can provide targeted support for GCSEs, from analysing key texts like 'An Inspector Calls' to mastering exam technique. This focused help is why we can help students improve their final grade by up to two grades.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to public speaking.
How quickly can we get started?
You can start very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you could be having your first lesson within a day or two. It's designed to be simple and fast.
