Support Your Child's Success with Online English Tutors in North London
We understand the pressure on families in North London. When you're aiming for highly-regarded schools like Fortismere or top independents like Highgate, it can feel like even a strong predicted grade in English isn't quite enough. You worry that without that top mark, your child might miss out on a place at a competitive sixth form, making the path to a leading university feel much harder.
One-to-one online English tuition provides the focused, personal support that can make all the difference. It's about working in partnership with an expert who can help your child master the sophisticated essay writing and textual analysis skills they need, building their confidence to not just keep pace, but to truly shine.

Building the English Skills Your Child Needs to Succeed
A high grade in English is more than just a line on a certificate; it's a key that opens doors. The ability to analyse complex texts, from Shakespeare to unseen poetry, and articulate a compelling argument is fundamental for success at A-Level and beyond. These are precisely the skills that admissions tutors at Russell Group universities look for, and they are essential for crafting a personal statement that stands out from the crowd. Strong English skills give your child a foundation for excellence across all their subjects.

Personalised English Tuition to Help Your Child Stand Out
The right tutor does more than just teach the curriculum; they build a rapport with your child, understanding how they learn best. Our tutors are dedicated experts – we only accept 1 in 8 who apply – and they know how to adapt their teaching to your child's specific needs. They can create a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions they might hold back in a busy classroom. Every one-to-one session is built around your child's goals. If they need to sharpen their analysis of 'Macbeth' for their GCSEs or perfect their essay structure for A-Levels, their tutor can dedicate the entire lesson to it. This targeted approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with many GCSE students improving by up to two grades. Finding that support is simple and fits around your family's busy schedule. You can connect with the perfect English tutor from the comfort of your home, with no travel required. With lessons available at times that suit you, including evenings and weekends, you can give your child the support they need without adding more stress to your week.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in North London and are aiming for a competitive sixth form place. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. A key part of securing a place at a competitive sixth form is achieving top GCSE grades. Our tutors can help your child focus on the specific skills needed to turn a Grade 7 into a Grade 8 or 9 in English, from refining exam technique to mastering advanced textual analysis.
My child is preparing for entrance exams for schools like Highgate or grammar schools in Barnet. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, many of our tutors have specific experience with 11+ and independent school entrance exams. You can read their profiles to see their areas of expertise and even use our filters to find tutors who specialise in exam preparation to give your child the best possible support.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read detailed profiles, and check reviews from thousands of other parents. Sending a message to a tutor before you book is a great way to discuss your child's specific needs and see if they are the right fit for your family.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. 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 do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. The cost is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for analysing texts or planning essays together, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Can a tutor really help my child get a Grade 9 in GCSE English?
Yes, they can make a significant difference. A great tutor will focus on the specific skills that examiners look for in top-grade answers, such as sophisticated analysis, flawless essay structure, and confident use of terminology. For GCSE students, our tailored support has helped many improve their final results by up to two grades.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English lessons?
One-to-one tuition provides a safe, encouraging environment where there are no silly questions. This allows your child to build confidence at their own pace, tackling topics they find tricky without the pressure of a full classroom. This newfound confidence often translates into greater participation and enjoyment at school.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students might just need a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works for you.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of interests, not just school subjects. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get ahead with a coding language like Python, or simply explore a new hobby, you can find an expert tutor to help them.
What if our schedule is already very busy?
That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You're not restricted to tutors in your immediate area and don't have to travel. You can find tutors available for lessons in the evenings or at weekends, making it much easier to fit sessions around school, clubs, and family life.
