A top grade in English Language and Literature is often a requirement for the most competitive A-Level courses, which in turn strengthens their UCAS application. The skills they'll develop with a tutor, from analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument, are exactly what universities and future employers look for. It's about giving them the best possible start.

Holly E
Holly has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter, Anissa. She is patient, encouraging and explains things in a clear and supportive way.
Since starting lessons with Holly, Anissa’s confidence has grown noticeably, and she feels much more comfortable and positive in her learning. She really enjoys the sessions and speaks very warmly about Holly — she genuinely loves learning with her.
We’ve been very pleased with the progress so far and would highly recommend Holly to other families looking for a caring and effective tutor.

John M
John has been an excellent English IGCSE tutor. He is very organised, enthusiastic and communicates clearly. He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them. John is helping her to build confidence, structure exam answers and prepare effectively for revision, and I feel the tutoring will be very beneficial in the run-up to her exams.

Ben D
Ben has been a great tutor for my 16 year old doing his English GCSEs. Ben's tuition has improved my son's grade from a 4 up to between a 5-8, depending on the topic, in just a few months. He has also hugely improved his confidence, and his writing ability in other subjects such as History has improved as well. Ben has a relaxed, respectful and friendly approach that my son has really gotten on with, and he is enjoying feeling more confident for his English Language and Literature exams this year. I highly recommend Ben for your child's tuition.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
The standards at local schools are high. Can I find a tutor experienced in helping students aim for top GCSE grades (7-9)?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students secure the highest grades for GCSE. You can view their profiles to see their experience with specific exam boards and their track record of helping students achieve grades 7, 8, and 9.
My child is hoping to apply to universities like Birmingham or Warwick. Can a tutor help with their UCAS personal statement?
Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience guiding students through the UCAS application process, including helping them structure and refine their personal statements to make them stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English 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?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions they might not ask in class. By working at their own pace and celebrating small wins, they begin to see what they're truly capable of, which is a huge confidence booster.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform.
How do online lessons 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. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer tutoring for a huge range of other skills! Your child can learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard session length is one hour, which most parents and students find works perfectly. However, you can always discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
What's the difference between English Language and English Literature tutoring?
A tutor can focus on one or both. English Language tutoring typically covers grammar, creative writing, and analysing non-fiction texts. English Literature focuses on analysing poems, plays, and novels, like those your child studies for their GCSEs.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for tutors, message a few to check their availability, and you could have your first lesson booked within 24 hours.
