The Right English Support, Tailored to Your Child's Goals
The right tutor takes the time to understand how your child learns. Are they struggling with poetry, or do they need help structuring essays? Our tutors, of whom we only accept 1 in 8 applicants, are all background-checked experts who create a supportive space for your child to ask questions and build understanding at their own pace. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child’s specific needs. If they’re preparing for the 11+, the focus might be on verbal reasoning and comprehension. For GCSEs, it could be mastering unseen texts or Shakespeare. This targeted support really works – 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Finding the perfect match is simple. You can browse tutors, read reviews from parents just like you, and message them directly to find the right fit. With lessons happening online, you can schedule sessions around your family’s busy life, without any extra travel. It's why over 200,000 students have found success with us.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for a grammar school in Trafford. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They have extensive experience in helping children build the specific verbal reasoning, comprehension, and writing skills needed to approach these important exams with confidence.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Manchester. How can an English tutor support this?
An A-Level English tutor can be a huge help. They can provide expert guidance on complex texts, refine your child's analytical and essay-writing skills, and even offer valuable feedback on their personal statement to help their university application shine.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can filter tutors by experience and subject level, read detailed reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. We always recommend sending a message to a few tutors first to discuss your child's goals.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
How can tutoring improve my child's GCSE English results?
Our tutors provide focused, one-to-one support on the specific areas your child finds tricky, from analysing poetry to structuring exam answers. This tailored approach is proven to help, with many students improving their final GCSE grade by up to two grades.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID-verified and must have a valid DBS check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, with live video chat and an interactive whiteboard. Tutors and students can share files, annotate documents, and work through problems together in real-time, just as they would in person.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe and encouraging environment where there are no silly questions. This personalised attention helps your child build a strong understanding of the subject, and seeing their own progress is the best confidence booster there is.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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 long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Most sessions are an hour long, and most students have one lesson per week. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange the frequency and duration that works best for your child's needs and your family's schedule directly with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, master coding with Python, or pick up a new language, we have a tutor who can help.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their development, upcoming tests, or any areas you're particularly concerned about. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
