It's often a requirement for the most sought-after A-Level courses and is essential for applications to competitive universities like the University of Manchester. The skills they'll strengthen with a tutor – from analysing a Shakespearean quote to crafting a persuasive argument – are the very skills they'll need to excel in higher education and their future career.

The Right Support to Help Your Child Reach Their English Goals
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a connection with your child, understanding how they learn and what makes them tick. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you’re choosing from the best. Each one is an expert in their field and has been background-checked, giving you complete peace of mind as they help your child master everything from poetry analysis to creative writing.
Because every lesson is one-to-one, it’s tailored precisely to your child’s needs. If they’re struggling with essay structure for their 'An Inspector Calls' exam, their tutor can spend the whole session on it. This focused approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with many GCSE students improving by up to two grades – a huge step towards securing that strong pass.
Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's busy schedule. With online tutoring, there’s no travel involved. You can find the perfect English tutor from anywhere in the UK and schedule lessons at times that suit you, all from the comfort of your own home.

My students have always loved my lessons as I make sure that each child understands the lesson or what they have chosen to work on before leaving.My teaching style is unique as rather telling the students what they’re doing today, they themselves would email me a couple of days before telling me they want to do this topic today. This meant that the student has control of their own learning and working on the...

22 students received their GCSE results this year - my biggest Y11 cohort yet, and with record success: 🎓 76% achieved top grades (7–9). 🍎 Every single student improved by at least one grade - and 80% jumped by two grades or more. ✏️ Four students were previously struggling at grade 3 - all passed, and two went on to secure a grade 6. 🏫 One student rose from a grade 4 at the end of Year 10 to a grade 9 at GCSE!

Sara is an excellent teacher for my 5-year-old daughter, who barely speaks English. My daughter quickly understood phonics and learned how to decode words. Sara is patient, highly skilled at teaching, and knows exactly how to adapt her approach to my daughter’s needs.
We absolutely love Sara… but Fred is still our favorite! 🙃

Abigail M
Abi has been tutoring my daughter for the past couple of months, and we couldn’t be happier. She is such a kind, friendly, and patient tutor who has made learning something my daughter genuinely looks forward to every week.
Not only are her lessons engaging and enjoyable, but it’s clear that Abi puts a lot of time and effort into preparing for each one. She goes above and beyond outside of the lessons to make sure they’re tailored and well planned, and it really shows.
It’s been wonderful to see my daughter’s confidence grow, and she can’t wait for her lesson each week. I would highly recommend Abi to anyone looking for a caring, dedicated, and fantastic tutor. Thank you for all your hard work!

My son was really struggling and behind in English (dyslexia and ADHD also). Working with Matthew B really gave his confidence a boost and made him feel like he finally understood how to approach questions and how paragraphs worked and it made a huge improvement on his work and most recent mock papers. Thank you so much for making him feel like he could do it after years of giving up on himself
