When you see the high standards set by schools like Stanwell, it’s natural to worry about your child keeping up, especially in a core subject like English.

The Right Support to Help Your Child Thrive in English
We believe the best learning happens when it’s personal. That’s why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from an expert who is background-checked and dedicated to their success. Your chosen tutor will take the time to understand how your child learns, what they find difficult, and what their goals are, creating a supportive partnership that builds real confidence.
Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific needs. If they’re struggling to get to grips with WJEC poetry, the entire session can be focused on that. If it's grammar holding them back, their tutor can create exercises to fix it. This tailored approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and it can make all the difference in helping your child secure the results they’re truly capable of.
Finding that perfect tutor is simple, and because it’s all online, lessons can happen whenever and wherever suits you.

Rhian has been helping my son prepare for his GCSE’s for a few months now.. My son is very shy and had a late (year 9) diagnosis of dyslexia.. Rhian is kind, patient and understanding. Rhian has helped my son become a lot more confident with English over the past few months. Rhian has even changed her schedule to help with his exam timetable. Would highly recommend Rhian

Michael L
We are very pleased with the support and guidance our son has received from Michael. He explains clearly and thoroughly, which has really helped our son improve his understanding.
What we appreciate most is the detailed feedback he gives on assignments. His comments are extremely useful because they clearly explain exactly what needs improvement, rather than giving only general remarks. This helps our son understand his weaknesses and work on them.

Richard B
Richard is an excellent tutor. Alisa connected with him from the very first lesson (which is rare!) and he’s been consistently kind, calm and professional. He supported her with both English and Maths, always working on the areas she was struggling with and explaining things in a way that really made sense to her. Richard also sent helpful feedback after every lesson, which I really appreciated as a parent. We’ve seen a real improvement in Alisa’s confidence and her results at school. We’re very grateful and would absolutely recommend him.
