Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
English is more than just another subject; it’s the foundation for success across the board. Strong comprehension and communication skills are essential for passing the 11+, but they're also vital for understanding complex ideas in GCSE Science, analysing quotes in texts like 'Macbeth', and writing persuasive essays at A-Level. Mastering these skills now gives your child a huge advantage, paving the way for better exam results and opening up more choices for college, university, and their future career.

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
We're aiming for a place at Carre's or Kesteven and Sleaford High School. Can a tutor help with the 11+ exam?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ entrance exams. They can focus on key areas like verbal reasoning, comprehension, and vocabulary to build your child's skills and confidence for the test.
My child struggles with English comprehension for the 11+. Can a tutor focus specifically on that?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tuition. You can let the tutor know that comprehension is a priority, and they will tailor their lessons to strengthen that specific skill, using practice papers and targeted exercises.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check 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 step.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has been personally interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As their tutor helps them overcome challenges and they start to see progress, their self-belief naturally grows.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
How soon can we expect to see progress?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach means you often see improvements quite quickly. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
What if our family schedule is really busy?
That's where the flexibility of online tutoring really helps. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and schedule lessons for evenings or weekends, whatever works best for you, without having to worry about travel time.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts in core academic areas like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for music, languages, coding, and many other skills.
What happens after I choose a tutor?
Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message to ask any questions and arrange a first lesson. You'll then book and pay securely through the Tutorful platform. It's a simple, straightforward process to get your child the support they need.
