Find the Right English Tutor for Your Child in Portstewart

We know that trust is everything. That’s why we carefully select the best tutors from across the UK, with only 1 in 8 applicants making the cut. Your child’s tutor will take the time to understand their specific learning style and the areas they find tricky, whether it's grammar rules or understanding complex texts. This creates a supportive partnership where your child feels comfortable asking questions and building their skills at their own pace. Every online lesson is built around your child's needs. If they're struggling with comprehension skills for the Transfer Test, their tutor can focus on practice papers and techniques. If they need to get to grips with Shakespeare for GCSEs, the session can be dedicated to analysing key quotes from 'Macbeth'. This targeted approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade with Tutorful. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's schedule. With online tutoring, you can connect with the perfect English expert without worrying about travel.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Can a tutor help my child prepare for the Transfer Test for schools like Dominican College or Coleraine Grammar School?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and Transfer Test. They can work on comprehension, grammar, and exam technique to help your child feel confident and ready for the day.

My teenager is thinking about Queen's University Belfast. Can a tutor help with their A-Level English and UCAS application?

Definitely. Our A-Level English tutors can provide in-depth support with their coursework and exam preparation. Many also have experience guiding students through the UCAS process, including helping them craft a compelling personal statement that stands out.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat so you can talk about your child's needs and see if it's a good fit before booking a lesson.

How much does an online English tutor in Portstewart cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.

How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?

This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief.

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 checks and DBS background checks, before they can join our platform.

How do online lessons work?

Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has features like a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam and a stable internet connection.

How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?

Most sessions are an hour long, and most families choose to have one lesson per week. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange the frequency and duration that best suits your child's needs and your family's schedule directly with your tutor.

Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like English?

Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from the 11+ and GCSEs right up to degree level, we also have tutors who can help your child learn a new skill or hobby, like playing the guitar, coding in Python, or learning a new language.

How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?

Very quickly. You can browse tutors and send messages straight away. Many parents find the perfect match and have their first lesson booked within 24-48 hours.

What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring platforms?

We focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With over 4,100 customer reviews and an average rating of 4.6 stars, we're a trusted choice for parents. We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students find the support they need to succeed.
