Find an Online English Tutor in Long Sutton to Help Your Child Succeed
We know how much pressure there can be around the 11+ exam, especially when you're hoping for a place at a brilliant school like Spalding Grammar or Spalding High. It’s natural to worry that without a strong vocabulary and advanced comprehension skills, your child might find the Verbal Reasoning paper a real challenge. That feeling that their entire secondary school path hangs in the balance can be incredibly stressful for the whole family.
One-to-one online English tutoring can make all the difference. It’s a partnership designed to give your child the dedicated support they need to build confidence and master these crucial skills. A great tutor can help make sense of tricky topics, turning 'I can't do this' into 'I understand', and making the journey towards the 11+ feel much more manageable and positive.

Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
Strong English skills are about so much more than just passing an exam. They are the foundation for success in every other subject. For the 11+, a rich vocabulary and the ability to understand complex texts are essential for the Verbal Reasoning paper. But these same skills will help your child analyse quotes in 'Macbeth' at GCSE, write compelling essays at A-Level, and communicate clearly at university and in their future career. It's a skill that builds confidence and creates opportunities for life.

The Right Support to Help Your Child Feel Confident in English
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That’s why we’re so selective—we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, and all are background-checked for your peace of mind. A great tutor does more than just teach; they take the time to understand how your child learns, what they find difficult, and how to make learning enjoyable again. It’s this personal connection that helps build real confidence. Every child is different, so every lesson should be too. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, your child's tutor will create sessions focused entirely on their needs. Whether it’s breaking down comprehension techniques for the 11+, practising exam questions in a calm environment, or simply building a love for reading, each lesson is a step towards their specific goal. It’s no wonder 90% of students improve by at least one grade with us. We know family life in Long Sutton is busy. Online tutoring takes the stress out of logistics. There's no travel, no rushing to appointments—just effective, one-to-one learning from the comfort of your own home, at a time that fits around your schedule. You can find and message tutors for free, making it simple to get started and give your child the support they deserve.

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for schools like Spalding Grammar. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can create a tailored plan for your child, focusing on the key areas of the Verbal Reasoning and English papers, such as vocabulary building, comprehension techniques, and exam strategy, to help them feel prepared and confident.
Are the tutors familiar with the Lincolnshire 11+ exam format?
Yes, you can find tutors with specific experience in the Lincolnshire 11+ exam. When you search, you can read tutor profiles and even message them for free to ask about their familiarity with the format used by schools like Spalding Grammar and Spalding High to ensure you find the perfect match.
How can a tutor help my child with their vocabulary for the Verbal Reasoning test?
A tutor can use fun and effective methods to expand your child's vocabulary, far beyond simple word lists. They might use word association games, explore root words and prefixes, and introduce new words through engaging texts, helping your child to not just memorise words, but to understand and use them correctly.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Start by reading tutor profiles and reviews from other parents. You can see their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors for free to discuss your child's needs—it’s a great way to get a feel for their personality and find someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial 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.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check, before they can teach on our platform. We also only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom. It includes a 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.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. Because the lessons are one-to-one, the tutor gets a clear understanding of your child's strengths and weaknesses and can share their insights with you. You'll also see your child's confidence grow as they start to master topics they once found difficult.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss your needs directly with your tutor, as many are flexible and can arrange shorter or longer sessions if needed.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, you can also find tutors for practical skills like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking. There's something for everyone.
Can we try just one lesson to see how it goes?
Of course. There are no long-term commitments or contracts. You can book a single lesson to make sure the tutor is the right fit for your child. Most families choose to continue with weekly lessons once they find a tutor they love.
