Opening Doors for Your Child with a Stronger English Grade

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.

Alina W
Effective English tutor
Hello my name is Alina, and I’m a dentistry student. I have excellent A levels and GCSE grades being an A* student and have had tutoring experience before with children aged 5-17 years old. 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...

Kathy F
Creative English tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior). I would help...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at Oldham Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help my child get the English grade they need?
Absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades they need for their next steps. They can focus specifically on the GCSE English curriculum, helping your child build confidence in areas like essay writing and textual analysis to help them achieve a grade 5 or above.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Manchester. Can a tutor help with the skills needed for that?
Yes. A strong grasp of English is vital for a competitive university application. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and communication skills that top universities look for, giving them a solid foundation for A-Levels and beyond.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that finding the right personality match is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't feel the tutor is the right fit after the first session, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
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. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable learning with.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Rebuilding that confidence is often the first step to seeing their grades improve.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an option that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It has all the tools your child needs for an engaging and effective lesson.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check before they can start teaching. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can be sure of their quality.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help.
Can a tutor help with the specific texts my child is studying for GCSEs?
Definitely. Many of our English tutors are experts on the specific set texts for exam boards, whether it's 'Macbeth', 'Jekyll and Hyde', or the Power and Conflict poetry anthology. They can provide targeted support to help your child understand the key themes and characters.
How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, so it varies. However, the benefit of one-to-one tuition is that it's highly focused. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions.
How is online tutoring different from school?
The main difference is the personalised attention. In a one-to-one session, the lesson is built entirely around your child's needs. They can ask as many questions as they like and learn at their own speed, which isn't always possible in a busy classroom.
