Give Your Child the Edge: Expert Online English Tutors in the North East
We know that for many parents across the North East, seeing your child simply pass their English GCSE isn't the main goal. The real worry is whether they can achieve the top 8 or 9 grades needed to secure a place at a great sixth form, and later, a top university like Durham or Newcastle.
That's where one-to-one tutoring can make all the difference. An expert English tutor can partner with you and your child, building the specific analytical and essay-writing skills they need to not just pass, but to truly stand out and feel confident in their abilities.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child prepare for a competitive humanities degree at a university like Durham or Newcastle?
Absolutely. Our tutors can focus on developing the advanced analytical, critical thinking, and essay-writing skills that are essential for success at that level. They can help your child learn how to engage with texts in a more sophisticated way, which is exactly what admissions tutors at top universities are looking for.
The local sixth forms are really competitive. Can a tutor focus on getting the 8/9 grades needed in GCSE English Literature?
Yes, this is a very common goal for many families. Our tutors are experienced in helping students move beyond a standard pass to achieve the highest grades. They do this by focusing on exam technique, detailed textual analysis, and structuring high-level arguments that will impress examiners.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget using the filters on our search page. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.
My child's confidence has been knocked by English. How can a tutor help?
This is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A tutor provides a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild your child's self-belief and help them enjoy the subject again.
What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial. That's why we have a 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 do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview every single tutor and are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing 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 space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and very effective.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to developing new skills like coding or a new language, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore their passions.
Can I find a tutor who is an expert on the specific texts my child is studying for their GCSEs?
Yes. Many of our English tutors list their areas of expertise on their profiles, whether it's Shakespeare, modern drama like 'An Inspector Calls', or specific poetry anthologies. You can message them beforehand to confirm they're a great match for your child's set texts.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week is ideal for making consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent sessions in the run-up to exams. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
How quickly will I see a change in my child's progress?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised attention of one-to-one tutoring often leads to a noticeable boost in confidence within just a few sessions. Academic improvement follows, which is why 90% of our students achieve at least one grade higher.
