Online English Tutors in Northumberland to Help Your Child Stand Out
Living in Northumberland, you know how competitive places are at top universities like Durham and Newcastle. It's natural to worry that without an A or A* in a subject as fundamental as English, your child's UCAS application might not stand out from the crowd. You want to give them the very best chance, but it can be hard to know how to help them bridge that gap.
That's where one-to-one tutoring can make a real difference. An expert English tutor provides personalised support, focusing on the exact areas your child needs to improve. It’s not just about grades; it’s about building their confidence and giving them the tools to write with clarity and conviction, helping them secure their university place and succeed beyond it.

A strong English qualification is more than just a line on a UCAS form; it's a skill for life. It shows universities and employers that your child can think critically, build a convincing argument, and communicate clearly. Whether they're breaking down a tricky Shakespearean quote for their A-Levels or structuring a persuasive essay, the skills they master in English are the foundation for success in higher education and their future career.

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to Durham University. Can a tutor help with their UCAS personal statement?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements that stand out. They can help your child structure their ideas, refine their writing style, and confidently showcase their passion for their chosen subject, which is crucial for competitive applications to universities like Durham and Newcastle.
We live in a rural part of Northumberland. How does online tutoring ensure we get a top-quality English specialist?
This is one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. Your location in Northumberland no longer limits your choice. Instead of being restricted to tutors who live nearby, you have access to the best English specialists from across the entire UK. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're connecting with a highly qualified, background-checked expert.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is really important, and we want you to be completely happy. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Is it just for English, or can you help with other things like learning the guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have fantastic English tutors, you can also find experts to help your child learn a musical instrument, master a new language, get into coding, or even develop professional business skills. It’s all about supporting their individual passions and goals.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs, like preparing for their GCSEs or focusing on A-Level essay writing. It’s all about finding the person your child will learn best with.
How are your tutors vetted and checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a rigorous selection process. We interview them, verify their ID, and require a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £50, depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find a great match that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can online tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors can break down difficult topics, like analysing poetry or mastering grammar, in a way that makes sense to them, building their self-belief one lesson at a time.
Can a tutor help with specific exam boards, like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes, absolutely. Tutors list their experience with different exam boards and specifications on their profiles. This means you can find a specialist who understands the exact requirements, marking schemes, and set texts for your child's English GCSE or A-Level exams.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is custom-built with tools like an interactive whiteboard, so your child and their tutor can work together just as they would in person.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and learning style.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many parents find the perfect tutor and have their first lesson booked within 24 hours. You can browse tutors, send messages, and arrange a time that suits you directly through our platform.
