It's essential for getting into college and is highly valued by top universities like York and Durham. More than that, the skills they learn – from analysing a quote in 'An Inspector Calls' to crafting a persuasive argument – are skills for life. They build confident communicators and critical thinkers, preparing your child for A-Levels, university, and whatever career path they choose.

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 at Lady Lumley's and wants to get into sixth form at Scarborough or Malton. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the GCSE grades they need for their chosen sixth form. They can focus specifically on the English Language and Literature topics your child finds challenging, building both their skills and their confidence for exam day.
We're aiming for a competitive university like York or Durham. Can a tutor support A-Level English preparation?
Yes, we have many tutors who are experts at A-Level and beyond. They can help your child master the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve top grades and make their university application stand out.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is 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 I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to tutors before booking. We recommend finding someone whose teaching style and personality you think will click with your child. You can even filter by experience with specific exam boards.
How do you make sure your tutors are high-quality and safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted expert.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can expect to pay between £25 and £45 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. A tutor can create a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and working at their own pace, which can make a huge difference.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through a past paper with your child, help them plan an essay, or break down a difficult poem, all tailored to what they need most.
How effective is online tutoring?
It's very effective! With over 200,000 happy students and a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, we see the amazing results every day. The focused, one-to-one attention in a comfortable environment helps students make real progress.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families start with one session a week, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange lessons as often as you feel your child needs them, whether that's a regular weekly slot or a few extra sessions in the run-up to an exam.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English and Maths, we also have brilliant tutors for a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to check their availability, and you can book your first session straight away.
