They'll build a real connection, creating a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and making progress at their own pace. Every lesson is designed around your child's specific goals. If they're struggling with poetry analysis for their GCSE Literature exam, the session will focus on that.

David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Holly E
Holly has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter, Anissa. She is patient, encouraging and explains things in a clear and supportive way.
Since starting lessons with Holly, Anissa’s confidence has grown noticeably, and she feels much more comfortable and positive in her learning. She really enjoys the sessions and speaks very warmly about Holly — she genuinely loves learning with her.

Ben D
Ben has been a great tutor for my 16 year old doing his English GCSEs. Ben's tuition has improved my son's grade from a 4 up to between a 5-8, depending on the topic, in just a few months. He has also hugely improved his confidence, and his writing ability in other subjects such as History has improved as well. Ben has a relaxed, respectful and friendly approach that my son has really gotten on with, and he is enjoying feeling more confident for his English Language and Literature exams this year. I highly recommend Ben for your child's tuition.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for top grades to get into a competitive sixth form like Heckmondwike Grammar. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students prepare for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques needed to secure those top 7-9 grades in GCSE English, giving your child the best chance of meeting the entry requirements.
We're hoping for a place at a Russell Group university like the University of Leeds. How can English tutoring support this?
A strong foundation in English is crucial for university applications. Our tutors can help your child develop the critical analysis and sophisticated writing skills that top universities look for. This not only helps them achieve the necessary A-Level grades but also prepares them for writing personal statements and handling the academic demands of university-level study.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Every tutor has a detailed profile with their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents just like you. You can watch their intro video to get a feel for their personality and even message them for free before booking to discuss your child's needs.
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 long-term contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, like Shakespearean language, into manageable steps. This personalised attention helps them see their own progress and builds lasting self-belief.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check. We also have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has all the tools your child needs, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing the tutor and your child to collaborate just as they would in person.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding languages like Python, we can help your child explore their passions beyond the school curriculum.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both. They can help your child switch between analysing poetry for Literature and honing their persuasive writing for Language, providing comprehensive support across the entire GCSE curriculum.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Once you find a tutor you like, you can message them to arrange a time that works for you both. Many tutors are available for a first lesson within just a few days.
