Why a Strong English Grade is Key for Their Next Step
English isn't just another subject on the timetable; it's the foundation for almost everything your child will go on to study. The ability to analyse a complex text in 'An Inspector Calls' or structure a persuasive argument isn't just for their English exam. These are the core skills that colleges and top universities like Exeter and Bristol look for across all A-Level subjects, opening doors to a wider range of future opportunities.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a local school like Newquay Tretherras. Can a tutor help them get the grades needed for Truro and Penwith College?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and have experience helping students secure the grades they need for competitive colleges. They can focus specifically on the syllabus your child is studying and the exam techniques required to help them achieve their goals.
Are the tutors familiar with the specific exam board my child is studying, like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes. When you search for a tutor, you can view their profile to see their experience with specific exam boards. Many tutors list their specialisms, so you can find someone who is a great match for the exact curriculum your child is working on.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to watch tutors' introductory videos, read their bios, and check reviews from other parents. You can message tutors for free to ask about their experience and teaching style before you book. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour depending on their experience and qualifications. You can filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in class. As they start to grasp difficult topics and see their skills improve, their self-belief naturally grows.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors have been through a thorough vetting process, which includes an identity check and an enhanced DBS check, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work together just as they would in person.
Can tutoring really improve my child's grade?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. We've seen that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs specifically, dedicated one-to-one support can help boost a student's final result by up to two grades.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons are typically one hour long, as this is usually the most effective timeframe for keeping students engaged. However, you can discuss your child's needs with your chosen tutor to agree on a lesson length that works best for them.
Is this just for academic subjects like English?
While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for modern languages, music lessons like guitar, and even practical skills like coding.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first session is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about their goals, what they find challenging in English, and what they enjoy. It's a relaxed way to build a plan for future lessons and ensure it's a good fit.
