It shows admissions tutors that your child is a clear, critical thinker, ready for the next step in their education and future career.

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.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Beauchamp College. Can a tutor help them achieve the GCSE English grades they need?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top grades (7-9). They can focus on the specific analytical and essay-writing skills that colleges look for, giving your child the best possible chance of securing their place.
We're worried about the competition for universities like Loughborough and Leicester. How can an English tutor help?
A tutor can help your child develop the advanced communication and critical thinking skills that make a university application stand out. Stronger A-Level performance and a well-articulated personal statement can make a huge difference when applying to competitive universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will get on with. It's all about finding the right personality and teaching style for them.
What happens 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 much does an online English tutor in Leicestershire cost?
Tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50. You can filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.

Can a tutor help with specific exam texts, like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, definitely. Tutors can provide focused sessions on specific texts, helping your child understand key themes, analyse quotes, and structure high-scoring essays. This is a great way to prepare for an exam.
