Whether they're breaking down the complex themes in *An Inspector Calls* or mastering persuasive writing, these skills are fundamental for success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form in the Letchworth area. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on strengthening the specific skills and knowledge needed to achieve the high GCSE English grades required, building both your child's ability and their confidence for their applications.
We're concerned about the high standards at schools like The Highfield School. Can a tutor help my child keep up?
Yes, that's a common concern for many parents, and it's exactly where one-to-one tutoring can help. A tutor can provide personalised support that complements what your child is learning at school, helping them to fill any knowledge gaps, stay on track, and feel more confident in a high-achieving environment.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend looking for a tutor whose experience matches your child's specific needs, whether that's GCSE exam technique or building creative writing skills. You can also message tutors beforehand to make sure they're the perfect match.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit. We have a First Lesson Guarantee, so 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?
Prices are set by the individual tutors and vary based on their experience and qualifications. You'll see the hourly rate clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS background check. We also interview every tutor, and only 1 in 8 who apply are accepted, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence in English?
Confidence is often the biggest barrier to progress. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By celebrating small wins and patiently explaining tricky concepts, tutors help your child believe in their own ability, which is key to seeing results.
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 way to share documents. It's a simple and effective way to learn one-to-one, and all from the comfort of your home.
Is tutoring only for core school subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also offer support for a huge range of other skills! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or pick up a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's focused entirely on their needs. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and engagement after just a few sessions. Consistent lessons are the best way to build momentum towards better grades.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the GCSE English curriculum, like poetry analysis?
Definitely. The great thing about one-to-one tutoring is that it can be completely tailored. If your child finds poetry analysis or Shakespearean language particularly challenging, their tutor can dedicate entire sessions to breaking down those topics until your child feels confident and prepared for their exams.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring platforms?
We focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With reviews from over 4,100 parents rating us 4.6 stars, we're a trusted choice for the 200,000+ happy students who have used Tutorful. We combine a hand-picked selection of the UK's best tutors with an easy-to-use online classroom, all designed to provide the supportive learning experience your child deserves.
