Securing a strong pass gives them the freedom to choose the A-Level subjects they're passionate about, setting them on the right path for their future career.

Personalised English Support to Build Your Child's Confidence
We believe the best learning happens when your child feels understood. That’s why we help you find a tutor who not only has expert subject knowledge but also has the right personality to connect with your child. All our tutors are background-checked, and we only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can feel confident you’re choosing from the very best. They’ll take the time to understand your child's learning style and create a supportive environment where asking questions is encouraged. Every online lesson is built entirely around your child's needs. If they're finding poetry analysis difficult or need to practise their essay technique for the GCSE exams, their tutor can create sessions that focus specifically on those areas. This targeted approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with our GCSE students often improving their results by up to two grades. Fitting extra support into a busy family schedule can be tough. Online tuition makes it simple. There's no travel required, and you can find a tutor who fits around your family's commitments. It’s a flexible, stress-free way to give your child the dedicated support they need to feel prepared and confident for their exams.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to go to Runshaw College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for families we support in Leyland. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target the specific skills needed to move from a Grade 4 to a Grade 5 or higher in GCSE English, giving them the best possible chance of securing their place and chosen A-Level subjects at Runshaw.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Leyland schools?
While our tutors are based across the UK, they are all experts in the national curriculum for England. They are highly experienced in the AQA, Edexcel and OCR exam boards used by schools, and can tailor their support to the specific texts and topics your child is studying.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend reading through tutor profiles to see their experience and teaching style. You can also read reviews from other parents, which often give a great insight. Best of all, you can message tutors for free before booking to make sure they're a good fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection is 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 cost?
Prices vary depending on a tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. You can easily filter your search results by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do the online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home, with all the tools they need for a great lesson.
Can tutoring help with my child's confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention from a supportive tutor helps your child feel safe to ask questions they might be shy about in class. Celebrating small wins in each session builds their self-belief, which has a positive impact on their schoolwork and beyond.
How do you ensure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must pass an ID check and have a valid DBS background check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, ensuring you're choosing from a pool of highly qualified and trusted professionals.
How often should my child have lessons?
It's completely flexible and depends on your child's needs. Many families find that a regular weekly session works best to build momentum and reinforce learning from school. You can discuss the ideal frequency with your chosen tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academics like English, Maths, and Science, we also have expert tutors who can teach musical instruments, coding languages like Python, new languages, and even support with personal development skills.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tuition is that progress can be made quickly on specific problem areas. Most importantly, you'll often see a boost in your child's confidence and attitude towards a subject in just a few sessions.
What do we need to get started with online tuition?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. It can be helpful to have some recent homework or a school report handy for the first session to show the tutor.
