Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
Strong GCSE English grades are more than just a requirement; they are the foundation for your child's future studies. The ability to analyse a complex text, whether it's a poem or a scene from 'Macbeth', and to build a compelling argument in an essay are skills that colleges and universities look for. Mastering these doesn't just help them pass an exam; it prepares them for success in their A-Levels and gives them a real advantage when applying to competitive university courses.

Emily H
Enthusiastic English Tutor
I am a qualified teacher that aims to tailor my approach to the individual student by setting clear goals and focusing on areas in which to grow confidence. I believe effective tutoring is about delivering complex concepts in simple terms with patience, encouragement and enthusiasm. Also, I believe that encouraging deep questioning on topics where there may be misunderstanding or a lack of enthusiasm is an excellent learning mechanism. Developing strong relationships with students means that parallels can be drawn between what is being studied, and the students’ own life experiences, which makes f...

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form like Greenford High. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students prepare for entry into specific colleges. They can focus on strengthening the core English skills needed to achieve the top GCSE grades (7-9) that these sixth forms often look for, giving your child the best possible chance of securing a place.
We're thinking ahead to universities like Brunel or UCL. How can tutoring now make a difference?
That's a great way to think! Strong GCSE and A-Level English grades are crucial for applications to top London universities. A tutor helps build a solid foundation, not just for passing exams, but for developing the critical thinking and writing skills that are essential for degree-level study.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects from the 11+ through to degree level, we also believe in learning for life. You can find experienced tutors for a whole range of skills, from learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to coding in Python.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and make sure they're the right person to help.
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 see each tutor's rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems, and a way to share documents. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild their confidence and start to enjoy learning again.
How do I know my child is safe online?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every one of our tutors has been through a background check. All lessons are recorded, providing a secure learning environment and a useful tool for your child to review what they've learned.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
How many sessions will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss this with your tutor, who will help create a plan that's right for your child.
What if our schedule changes? Can we reschedule a lesson?
Of course. We understand that family life is busy. You can easily reschedule a lesson by giving your tutor at least 24 hours' notice. Our platform makes it simple to manage your bookings and communicate with your tutor.
