Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child wants to study A-Levels at East Coast College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades, like a Grade 5 or above, needed for college entry. They can focus on the exact areas of the curriculum your child needs to strengthen to meet the entry requirements for courses at East Coast College.
We're worried that a lower English grade could affect future university applications to places like UEA. Can tutoring help?
Yes, it's a very valid concern. A strong GCSE English grade is a fundamental requirement for top universities, including the UEA. Our tutors can help build a strong foundation now, ensuring your child not only passes their GCSE but develops the analytical skills expected at A-Level and beyond, keeping their future options wide open.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We understand that the right personal connection is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also send them a message before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
Can tutoring really improve my child's GCSE English grade?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. Our focused, one-to-one approach has been shown to help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades. A tutor can target specific weak spots and build exam technique to help your child achieve their best possible result.
My child's confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and build them up, which often leads to a huge boost in self-belief and a more positive approach to learning.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we personally interview every applicant. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like English, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond core academic subjects, your child can learn anything from a new language or a musical instrument like the guitar, to practical skills like coding and public speaking.
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, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work through everything from analysing poetry to planning essays together.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find a weekly one-hour session works best, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions as often as you and your child feel is needed, especially in the run-up to exams.
How do I know Tutorful is a trusted platform?
We're proud to have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from parents just like you. We've helped over 200,000 students find the support they need to succeed, and we'd love to help your child too.
