Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
English is more than just another subject; it's the key to communication and critical thinking. Mastering skills like analysing a poem or structuring a persuasive essay is vital for achieving that crucial Grade 5 or above in GCSE English. This opens up more options for A-Levels at local colleges and strengthens their applications for top universities like Birmingham or Warwick. A great tutor helps your child build these essential skills for life, not just for one exam.

Pam P
Experienced English Tutor
I am a semi- retired Primary School teacher. I have worked with all age groups in the Primary setting and have a specialised knowledge in the teaching of reading. To keep up to date with the changes in the curriculum I take on some supply work. Over the years I have been tutoring I have helped many pupils reach there full potential. I believe in an individual approach as no two children are the same. This cannot be achieved by the big centres offering only one way of learning.I have taught children who struggle to read, increasing reading age dramatically over a short time and have helped children...

Matthew B
Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence.
Really friendly, patient, and supportive — we’re very happy with the progress so far. Highly recommend!

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for grammar schools near Oldbury. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience with 11+ preparation, including the verbal reasoning and comprehension sections common for entry into Birmingham and Walsall grammar schools. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in entrance exams and even mention it in your first message.
We're hoping my child might apply to the University of Birmingham or Warwick. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, building strong English skills now is excellent preparation for university. Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed for A-Levels, which are crucial for applications to competitive universities. Some tutors also offer specific support for personal statements.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a great question. We recommend watching tutors' introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. Reading reviews from other parents is also incredibly helpful. You can send a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking to make sure you find the perfect match.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right fit, which is 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 your first session with a new tutor.
My child's confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process: every tutor is interviewed, has their ID and qualifications checked, and must provide a valid DBS background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. The price is based on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons work?
They take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home, and all they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is the ideal frequency for making steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to increase the frequency in the run-up to an exam, or have lessons less often. You can discuss what's best for your child with your tutor.
How effective is online English tutoring?
It’s very effective! In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The one-to-one focus allows tutors to tailor every single lesson to your child's needs, which is something that's hard to achieve in a busy classroom. It’s a great way to help them build skills and confidence.
What's my role as a parent in the tutoring process?
Your main role is to provide encouragement and support. It's helpful to chat with the tutor about your child's goals and any concerns you have. You'll receive feedback after each lesson, so you can stay involved and celebrate your child's progress with them.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or music?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a new language, master the guitar, or get to grips with coding, you can find expert tutors on our platform to support their passions and hobbies.
