Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
A good grade in English isn't just about passing an exam; it’s a key that unlocks your child's future. The skills they learn—like how to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive argument—are vital for history essays, science reports, and almost every other subject. A strong GCSE in English is essential for many A-Level courses and is highly valued by top universities like Bath and Bristol. Our tutors can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades, giving them the best possible chance to pursue their ambitions.

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 worried about the step up to secondary school at Ralph Allen or Norton Hill. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a common concern for many parents. A tutor can help bridge the gap between primary and secondary school by reinforcing foundational English skills, building your child's confidence, and giving them a head start on the Key Stage 3 curriculum so they feel prepared from day one.
We're aiming for top GCSE grades to keep options open for universities like Bath or Bristol. Can a tutor support this goal?
Yes, our tutors are experienced in helping students aim high. They can work with your child on advanced analytical skills, exam technique, and understanding mark schemes to help them secure the top grades needed for competitive A-Level courses and university applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning needs. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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 do online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and file sharing. It's a secure and effective learning space that your child can access from any computer or tablet.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, with rates starting from £15 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to easily find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space allows your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps your child see their own progress, which is one of the best ways to build lasting confidence.
Can a tutor help with specific English topics, like poetry or creative writing?
Definitely. The benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons are completely tailored. If your child finds poetry analysis tricky or wants to improve their creative writing skills, their tutor can dedicate entire sessions to mastering that specific area.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most students have one 60-minute lesson per week, as this consistency helps to build momentum. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can arrange lessons with your tutor at a frequency that works for your child and your family.
What results can I expect?
While every child's journey is different, we're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards learning in just a few weeks.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects! Beyond core subjects like English and Maths, your child can learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language. It's all about finding what sparks their interest.
