The Right Support to Help Your Child Thrive in English
The right tutor does more than just teach the curriculum; they get to know your child. They'll quickly understand whether your child finds structuring essays tricky or struggles to get to grips with unseen poetry. Because we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, you can be sure you’re choosing from the very best. They are all background-checked, interviewed, and ready to create a supportive learning space for your child. Every single lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they need to spend a session mastering spelling and grammar, that's what they'll do. If they need to practise exam technique for 'An Inspector Calls', their tutor will focus on that. This personalised approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, we can even help improve results by up to two grades, securing that all-important place on their chosen A-Level course. Finding that perfect tutor is simple. You can browse profiles, watch introduction videos, and message them for free to make sure they’re a great fit. With lessons taking place online, they can happen at a time that suits your family's busy schedule, without you having to worry about travel. It's expert help, made easy.

Alina W
Effective English tutor
Hello my name is Alina, and I’m a dentistry student. I have excellent A levels and GCSE grades being an A* student and have had tutoring experience before with children aged 5-17 years old. My students have always loved my lessons as I make sure that each child understands the lesson or what they have chosen to work on before leaving.My teaching style is unique as rather telling the students what they’re doing today, they themselves would email me a couple of days before telling me they want to do this topic today. This meant that the student has control of their own learning and working on the...

Jessica M
Amazing tutor! I went from a weak grade 3 in English Language to being just one mark off a 6. Lessons were clear, supportive, and really boosted my confidence. I couldn’t have done it without their help and would 100% recommend.

Ameena tutored our son for an English language retake and he got an 8! He went up 3 grades from a 5. Her tutoring was focussed and responsive and she did it all over about 7 weeks. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much Ameena!

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grades needed for Oldham Sixth Form College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE specialists and have extensive experience helping students secure the grades they need for college. They can focus on specific areas of the curriculum, improve exam technique, and build your child's confidence to help them achieve their goals.
My child hopes to go to the University of Manchester. Can a tutor support their A-Level journey?
Yes. We have many expert A-Level English tutors who can provide in-depth support for the step up from GCSE. They can help your child master complex texts and develop the analytical skills required for top grades, strengthening their university application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to look at their profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introduction videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals. It's all about finding someone your child connects with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. 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 extra costs.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. When a tutor tailors lessons to their pace and celebrates small wins, it helps your child see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE English?
Yes. Our tutors include qualified teachers, examiners, and subject matter experts with years of experience. We personally interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Definitely. Most English tutors are experts in both and can switch between them as needed. You can discuss your child's specific requirements with the tutor to create a lesson plan that covers everything they need.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How long are the sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are one hour long, and most students have one lesson per week. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or music?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Alongside core academic subjects like Maths and Science, your child can learn practical skills like coding and Python, a new language, or even how to play the guitar.
Why should I choose Tutorful?
We're trusted by thousands of parents, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. We focus on matching your child with a brilliant, background-checked tutor who can provide personalised, one-to-one support to help them succeed.
