How Strong English Grades Secure Your Child's Future Choices
Strong English skills are about more than just passing an exam; they are the foundation for success in all subjects and future careers. The ability to analyse a text, articulate an argument, or write persuasively is essential for A-Levels and beyond. For GCSE students, focused support can make a huge difference – we've seen it help students improve their final results by up to two grades. This can be the key that unlocks the door to the A-Level subjects they're passionate about and helps them build a strong application for a top university.

Personalised English Tutoring, Designed for Your Child
The right tutor does more than just teach a subject; they get to know your child as an individual. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from the best. They are experts at identifying specific areas where your child needs help, whether it’s getting to grips with 'Macbeth' or mastering complex grammar, and will adapt their teaching style to match the way your child learns best. Imagine a lesson focused entirely on what your child needs to make progress right now. That's what one-to-one tutoring delivers. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, each session is tailored to fill gaps in their knowledge, work through past papers, or build confidence for an upcoming exam. It's no wonder 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Arranging support for your child shouldn't add more stress to your family's busy schedule. With online tuition, you can find the perfect, background-checked English tutor from anywhere in the UK and schedule lessons at times that suit you.

Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at King's/Fallibroome and aiming for top GCSE grades. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students aim for the highest grades (7-9). They can provide challenging material and targeted practice to stretch your child's abilities, helping them stand out and secure the results they need for their next steps.
We're hoping for a place at a Russell Group university like Manchester. How can an English tutor support this?
A strong foundation in English is vital for a competitive university application. A tutor can help your child achieve the high A-Level grades needed, and also help them develop the critical thinking and essay-writing skills that admissions tutors at top universities are looking for.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find a great match. You can filter tutors by subject level and availability, read detailed profiles, and check reviews from other parents. We also recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect fit.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right person for your child. 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 do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has their ID and qualifications verified. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
My child's confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help?
A one-to-one setting is a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Our tutors are brilliant at building confidence by breaking down difficult topics, celebrating small wins, and helping students see what they're truly capable of.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your own home.
Is Tutorful just for school subjects, or could my child learn something else?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and life skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish for a holiday, or get started with coding, you can find an expert tutor to help.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most parents find that a one-hour lesson each week works best, as it provides consistency and builds momentum. However, the frequency is completely flexible and is something you can agree on directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
What equipment does my child need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a computer or laptop with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. There's no special software to install; our online classroom runs directly in your web browser.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You'll also see it for yourself in their growing confidence, their approach to homework, and ultimately, in their school reports and exam results.
