English Language and Literature English English
Over the past 20 years, I have had the opportunity to develop my teaching skills, gaining valuable experience in teaching learners who need extra support to overcome barriers to achieving. I am aware of issues affecting some learners which can and have over ridden their choice and chance of participating in education. My qualifications such as BA(Hons) Degree in Education where I used Autism in the classroom as my Dissertation, Certificate in Education, L3 Awareness in ASD and L5 Adult Specialist in English , are necessary to implement resources to motivate such barriers and complex needs, including...

As an English tutor I have tutored all ages, but I specifically tutor A Level Literature where I have a wide knowledge of the curriculum - I have tutored students across all the examination boards. I am a happy and enthusiastic mature person, who believes strongly in education and the confidence and opportunities that can be gained.

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.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for Durham Sixth Form Centre. Can a tutor help with the English requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on strengthening the specific essay and analytical skills your child needs to secure their place with confidence.
We're hoping for a place at Durham or Newcastle University. How can tutoring strengthen my child's application?
A tutor can be a huge help. Beyond securing top A-Level grades, they can help your child develop the advanced critical thinking and communication skills that Russell Group universities like Durham and Newcastle look for. This ensures their personal statement and any written work stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a personal choice, and we make it easy. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. Look for someone whose experience matches your child's goals, whether that's GCSE exam technique or A-Level textual analysis.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. That's why we have our 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.
How much does an online English tutor in Ouston cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £20 to £45 per hour. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. A tutor can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and show them they're capable of making real progress.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts, like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can provide focused support on specific curriculum texts. They can help your child dive deeper into themes, characters, and key quotes, which is often exactly what's needed to push their grade up.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week works best. This provides consistency and gives your child time to practise what they've learned. However, you can arrange a schedule that works for you, whether it's more frequent sessions before an exam or fortnightly lessons.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than core academics?
We do! While we have experts in core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even a new language. There's something for everyone.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, we get it. You can easily manage your lessons through your Tutorful account. We have a 24-hour cancellation policy, so as long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can reschedule your session for a more convenient time.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
