A solid grasp of English is the foundation for success across all subjects. It's about more than just passing exams; it’s about giving your child the tools to communicate clearly, understand complex ideas, and build convincing arguments. These skills are vital whether they're analysing a poem, writing a history essay, or later on, applying for college, university, or their first job. Strong English skills give them the confidence to share their voice with the world.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at Aylesbury Grammar School. Can I find a tutor with 11+ experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in entrance exams, including the Buckinghamshire 11+. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specifically mention 11+ preparation in their profiles and have experience helping children secure places at local grammar schools.
Are your tutors familiar with the Buckinghamshire 11+ English exam format?
Many of our tutors are very familiar with the specific requirements of local entrance exams, including the format and question styles of the Buckinghamshire 11+. When you message a tutor, feel free to ask about their specific experience with this exam to ensure they're the perfect fit for your child.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to read tutor profiles and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS or background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does an online English tutor in Oakley cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £45 per hour, depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors can break down difficult topics and celebrate small wins, which helps build self-esteem and a more positive approach to learning.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. For academic results, it's a steady process, but it's reassuring to know that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
How does online tutoring work? What equipment do we need?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing to make learning engaging and effective.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, definitely. Our English tutors can provide targeted support for specific set texts, whether it's for GCSEs or A-Levels. They can help your child understand characters, themes, and context, and practise exam-style questions to build their confidence.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about what they enjoy, what they find tricky in English, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed session designed to build a good relationship and create a plan for future lessons.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can you help with creative writing?
While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors who can help your child explore their creative side. You can find tutors who specialise in creative writing, public speaking, and even learning musical instruments like the guitar.
