Personal English Support to Help Your Child Thrive
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That’s why we’re so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is an expert in their subject, interviewed by us, and background-checked, so you can feel completely reassured. They’ll take the time to understand how your child learns best and build a genuine connection with them. Every online lesson is built around your child. If they're preparing for the 11+, their tutor can focus on verbal reasoning and comprehension skills. If they’re tackling GCSEs, a session might be spent perfecting essay structure for ‘Macbeth’ or analysing unseen poetry. This personal approach means they can work at their own pace and ask questions without feeling shy, which is how real progress happens. Juggling school, clubs, and family life is hard enough. Online tutoring takes the stress out of travel, fitting easily around your schedule. You can find and message tutors anytime, and all lessons take place in our secure online classroom. It’s expert help for your child, made simple for you.

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

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 of our tutors are GCSE English specialists. They can help your child target the specific grades they need for college entry, potentially improving their results by up to two grades. They can focus on everything from exam technique to understanding core texts and poetry.
We're preparing for the 11+ for Colchester's grammar schools. Can I find a tutor with experience in this?
Yes, you can. You can filter for tutors who have specific experience with 11+ entrance exams. They can provide targeted practice on verbal and non-verbal reasoning, comprehension, and creative writing to help your child feel confident and prepared for the test day.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. It's a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their experience with the specific areas your child needs help with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have a 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 your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked using an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every tutor and are very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 applicants to ensure the highest quality and safety.
How much do online English tutors 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 someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. It’s designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child to work collaboratively with their tutor from the comfort of your home.
How can tutoring help if my child is already doing okay but lacks confidence?
Confidence is just as important as knowledge. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. This personalised attention and encouragement can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistency is key. We find that 90% of students who have regular lessons with us improve by at least one grade, giving them a real boost when it comes to exam results and future opportunities.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature GCSEs?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both GCSE subjects. They can help your child switch between analysing poetry for Literature and honing their persuasive writing for Language, providing comprehensive support across the curriculum.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.
How easy is it to book a lesson?
It's very straightforward. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can view their availability on their calendar and book a time that works for your family. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute video chat so you can meet them first.
