The skills they build – from deeply analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument in an essay – are exactly what top sixth forms and universities like Liverpool and Manchester look for. A great grade in English Language and Literature shows they can think critically and communicate clearly, skills that will help them succeed in any subject they choose to study next.

Janan S
Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

Alexander A
We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Carmel College. Can a tutor help them get the English grades they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students aim for top grades like 7, 8, and 9. They can focus specifically on the exam technique and deeper subject knowledge needed to meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms like Carmel College, giving your child a strong advantage.
Do your tutors understand the curriculum at Rainford High?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in the national curriculum for England, including the specific exam boards like AQA and Edexcel that schools like Rainford High use. They can tailor their support to align perfectly with what your child is learning in class, helping to reinforce their knowledge and prepare for their specific exams.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat, which is a great way for you and your child to meet them and ensure it's a good fit before booking any lessons.
What happens if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?
We want to make sure you have the best possible experience, which is why we offer a First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you'll know the cost upfront with no hidden fees.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check. We are also very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. The one-to-one setting provides a safe and supportive space for your child to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. This personal attention often makes a huge difference, helping them rediscover their enjoyment of the subject.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, we have expert tutors who can help.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
There are no contracts or minimum commitments. Tutoring is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly lessons throughout the school year. It's entirely up to you.
What if our family schedule is really busy?
That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of available times. You can easily find and schedule lessons that fit around school, hobbies, and family commitments without any travel time.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply use the search filters to find tutors who match your needs, send a message to the ones you like, and you can often have your first lesson booked within 24 hours. It's a simple process designed to get your child the help they need, fast.
