Personalised English Support, Perfectly Matched to Your Child
The right tutor can change everything. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best. They take the time to understand your child's individual learning style and where they need the most help, whether it's mastering grammar for the 11+ or getting to grips with Shakespeare for their GCSEs. Every online lesson is built around your child. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, sessions focus on their specific goals. A tutor can spend an entire lesson breaking down tricky quotes from 'An Inspector Calls' or practising comprehension techniques until your child feels completely confident. It’s this focused support that helps 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Finding the time for extra support shouldn't be another stress. With online tutoring, you can connect with the perfect English tutor from the comfort of your home in Saltash. Lessons fit around your family's schedule, so your child gets the help they need without you having to worry about the commute.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the 11+ for a Plymouth grammar school. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build a strong vocabulary, master comprehension techniques, and develop the creative writing skills needed to approach the exam with confidence.
My child is aiming for a competitive university like Exeter. Can tutoring support their A-Level English studies?
Yes. An experienced A-Level English tutor can provide invaluable support. They can help your child with detailed text analysis, essay structuring, and the critical thinking skills that universities look for, strengthening their UCAS application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their intro videos and sending a message to a few to find someone your child will connect with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. All costs are clearly shown on their profiles with no hidden fees.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for writing and sharing resources, and a space to work on documents together. It's a fantastic, engaging way for your child to learn.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single 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 have complete peace of mind.
My child lacks confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is a brilliant confidence booster. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions they might not ask in class, work at their own pace, and start to see what they're truly capable of.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's 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.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have amazing tutors who teach hobbies and life skills, from learning the guitar or piano to coding in Python.
Can a tutor help my child with their specific GCSE English texts?
Yes. Our tutors can provide tailored support on the exact books, plays, and poems your child is studying for their GCSEs, whether it's 'Macbeth', 'An Inspector Calls', or the Power and Conflict poetry anthology.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, we get it! You can easily manage your lessons through your Tutorful account. We have a 24-hour cancellation policy, so as long as you give your tutor a day's notice, you can reschedule without any charge.
