Find the Right Online English Tutor in Newcastle-upon-Tyne

We understand the pressure you feel when you see the high standards set by schools like the Royal Grammar School and Gosforth Academy. It’s natural to worry that a grade 5 or 6 in GCSE English might not be enough to secure your child’s place in a competitive sixth form, or for top courses at universities like Newcastle University. Finding the right one-to-one support can make all the difference. An expert English tutor can partner with you and your child, building the confidence and skills they need to analyse complex texts, write compelling essays, and achieve the grades they deserve.

Personalised English Support, Right When Your Child Needs It

The right tutor takes the time to understand exactly where your child needs help.

It’s reassuring to know that we handpick the best tutors from across the UK, with only 1 in 8 applicants making it onto our platform, and all are background-checked for your peace of mind. Every online lesson is tailored to your child’s specific goals. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, your child gets dedicated, one-to-one attention.

This focused support is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Finding the right support in Newcastle has never been easier.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

With the high standards at schools like RGS and Gosforth Academy, can a tutor help my child feel less overwhelmed by GCSE English?

Absolutely. A private tutor provides a calm, supportive space where your child can ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in a busy classroom. They can break down difficult topics, from Shakespeare to unseen poetry, at your child's pace, helping them build confidence and feel in control of their learning.

My child hopes to study at Newcastle University. Can a tutor help with the English skills needed for their application?

Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for university. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed for A-Levels and for crafting a compelling personal statement that stands out.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. Think about your child's specific needs – do they need help with essay structure or analysing poetry? Finding a tutor with experience in that area is a great place to start.

What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.

My child is worried about their GCSE English grade. How much can a tutor help?

One-to-one tutoring can have a huge impact. Our data shows that focused support from an expert tutor can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades, turning a potential pass into a grade that opens doors to their chosen A-Levels.

How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must provide a valid DBS check. We also verify their ID and qualifications. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

How do the online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a microphone and camera, and a stable internet connection.

Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?

Yes, it's one of the biggest benefits we see. When a child starts to understand a topic they previously found difficult, their confidence soars. A tutor acts as a personal guide, celebrating their progress and encouraging them every step of the way.

How often should my child have an English lesson?

Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week works best, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, you can arrange sessions as frequently as you and your tutor feel is needed, especially in the run-up to exams.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different?

While we have tutors for all core academic subjects, we also have experts who can teach a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find a tutor for them here.

What happens in a typical first lesson?

The first session is usually about the tutor getting to know your child. They'll chat about what your child finds easy or difficult in English, what their goals are, and how they like to learn. It's a relaxed way to build a good relationship from the start.
