Why a Strong English Grade Opens Doors for Your Child
English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for almost everything your child will do. Strong communication skills, the ability to build a convincing argument, and understanding how to analyse a text are vital. Whether they're breaking down a tricky poem, structuring an essay on 'An Inspector Calls', or preparing for university at Keele or Staffordshire, these skills are essential. A great English grade gives your child the qualification and the confidence they need to pursue the path that's right for them.

Personalised English Tutoring, Perfectly Matched to Your Child
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That's why we're so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Our tutors are experts not just in their subject, but in getting to know your child as an individual. They'll take the time to understand how your child learns best, what they find difficult, and what their goals are, creating a supportive partnership that builds real confidence. Every online lesson is tailored completely to your child's needs. If they're struggling to analyse quotes from 'Macbeth', their tutor can dedicate the whole session to mastering that skill. If it's punctuation and grammar for their English Language exam that needs work, that's what they'll focus on. This targeted approach is why 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, with many GCSE students improving by up to two grades. With our online classroom, lessons can happen whenever and wherever suits you, fitting easily around your family's life in Leek. There's no travel, just simple, effective learning that works.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Westwood College. Can a tutor help with their specific exam board?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have extensive experience with specific exam boards like AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. You can check a tutor's profile to see their specialisms or send them a message before booking to ensure they're the perfect fit for your child's needs.
We're looking ahead to courses at Buxton & Leek College. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, they can. A strong GCSE English grade is often a key entry requirement for further education. A tutor can help your child secure that grade, and can also help them with skills like personal statement writing or interview practice to support their college application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to look through the profiles of our tutors. You can read reviews from other parents, see their experience, and check their qualifications. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to explain your child's goals before booking – it's a great way to find the right personality match.
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 online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone to suit your budget. Prices are displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts.
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. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. A tutor can break down difficult topics into smaller, manageable steps, giving your child a sense of achievement that builds their self-belief over time.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works best, especially when preparing for exams like GCSEs. However, it's completely flexible and depends on your child's needs and your family's schedule. You can discuss the ideal frequency with your chosen tutor.
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 see their specific areas of expertise listed on their profiles. This is perfect for students who need support across the entire English curriculum.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills too?
While we have tutors for every academic subject you can think of, we also have experts who can help your child learn a new skill or hobby. From learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python, there's a huge range of skills your child can explore.
My child finds Shakespeare really difficult. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. Shakespeare can be tricky, but our tutors are brilliant at making it more accessible and engaging. They can help your child understand the language, analyse key themes, and prepare for any essays or exam questions on the text they are studying.
