Personalised Support to Help Your Child Achieve Those Top Grades
We know how important it is to find the right person to support your child. That's why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring they are not only subject experts but also caring mentors. Your child's tutor will take the time to understand their specific learning style and where they need the most help, building a trusting relationship that helps them thrive. Every lesson is designed around your child’s needs. If they're aiming for a grade 8 in English Literature, their tutor can focus specifically on exam technique for poetry analysis. If they struggle with structuring essays for English Language, their sessions will be built around mastering that skill. This targeted approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – for GCSEs, that can even mean a two-grade jump. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your family's busy schedule. With online tutoring, you can connect with the best English tutors from across the UK, right from your home in Shifnal. Lessons can be scheduled at times that work for you, making it simple to fit extra support around school, clubs, and family life.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Colchester Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help with the GCSE English grades they need?
Absolutely. Many parents in the Shifnal area use our tutors for this exact reason. Our experienced English tutors can focus specifically on the skills and exam techniques needed to turn a grade 6 or 7 into a grade 8 or 9, helping your child meet the entry requirements for competitive local sixth forms.
My child is considering applying to a Russell Group university like Birmingham. Can a tutor help with more than just GCSEs?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience supporting students with A-Levels and university applications. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills needed for their A-Level English studies and guide them in crafting a strong personal statement for universities like Birmingham.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles for each tutor, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific goals and ensure they're a great match.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is essential 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 all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can do wonders for confidence. When your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement, they start to see that they *can* understand tricky topics. These small wins build up, leading to greater self-belief in the classroom.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for each lesson.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Is Tutorful just for core subjects like English, or can you help with other skills too?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects, we also believe in learning for life. You can find tutors for a huge range of skills on Tutorful, from learning the guitar or a new language to coding in Python.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most sessions last for one hour, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You and your child can communicate with the tutor through our messaging system. Tutors often provide feedback after each session, and you can discuss your child's progress and goals at any time to ensure they're on the right track.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply use the search filters to find a tutor you like, send them a message to check their availability, and book your first session. Many of our 200,000+ happy students have found their perfect tutor in just a few minutes.
