Why a Strong Grasp of English is Key to Your Child's Future
English isn't just about analysing poetry or understanding Shakespeare; it's the foundation for almost everything your child will do next. Strong grades in GCSE English Language and Literature open doors to a wider range of A-Level subjects and are essential for higher education. More than that, the skills they'll hone – from crafting a persuasive argument to writing a compelling personal statement – are exactly what respected universities like Birmingham and Warwick look for.

Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.

Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

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 goes to Wolgarston High. Can a tutor help them aim for top GCSE grades?
Absolutely. A private tutor can provide focused support to help your child keep up with the curriculum and excel. They can work specifically on areas your child finds difficult, helping them build the skills and confidence needed to achieve top grades. For GCSEs, we often see students improve by up to two grades.
We're thinking about A-Levels at a college in Stafford. Can a tutor help my child secure the English grades they need?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades they need for their next step. They can work with your child on specific exam techniques and subject knowledge to help them feel prepared and confident about hitting the entry requirements for colleges in Stafford or elsewhere.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence in English?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. Tutors celebrate small wins and build on your child's strengths, which can transform their attitude towards a subject they once found tricky.
Can a tutor help with writing a university personal statement?
Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements for their UCAS applications. They can help your child structure their ideas and showcase their strengths, which is vital for competitive universities.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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 cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. You can filter your search by price to find a great tutor who fits your budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join our platform.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours. Once you've found the right person and agreed on a time, you can book your first lesson straight away.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find is most effective for maintaining focus and making progress. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to see what works best for your child.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking, you can find an expert tutor to support your child's hobbies and interests too.
