English is so much more than just a school subject; it's the foundation for clear thinking and strong communication. Whether your child is analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' or structuring a persuasive essay, they're building skills that are essential for almost every A-Level, university course, and future career. A good grade in English shows they can understand complex ideas and express their own thoughts clearly – a skill that universities and employers value highly.

Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at Midsomer Norton Sixth Form. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary English GCSE grade?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades needed for college entry. They can focus on the exact areas of the English GCSE syllabus your child needs to strengthen to give them the best possible chance of securing their place.
Can a tutor help my child with applications for universities like Bath or Bristol?
Yes, many of our English tutors have experience supporting students with their personal statements for university applications. They can help your child structure their ideas, express themselves clearly, and showcase their strengths – all crucial skills for applying to competitive universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask about their experience with the GCSE curriculum and make sure they're a good fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you just pay for the lessons you book.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is interviewed and has their ID and qualifications verified. We also carry out background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child to work on everything from essay plans to analysing texts with their tutor in real-time.
Can tutoring help my child with their confidence?
Definitely. For many children, confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for them to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Seeing their own progress week after week is a huge confidence booster.
We live in Paulton, but are the tutors also local?
Because all our tutoring is online, you're not limited to tutors in Paulton. You can choose the absolute best English tutor for your child from across the entire UK, giving you access to a much wider pool of expertise.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. You can find tutors for everything from learning an instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and Python.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. The ultimate proof is seeing your child's growing confidence and their improving results at school.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and learning needs.
