Why a Strong Grasp of English is Key to Your Child's Future
English isn't just about passing exams; it's about giving your child the tools to think critically and communicate clearly. Whether they're breaking down a tricky poem for their GCSEs or structuring a persuasive essay for the 11+, these skills are vital. A good grade in English opens doors to a wider range of A-Level courses, apprenticeships, and university places, giving them the confidence and the qualifications to pursue the career they want.

The Right English Support, Tailored to Your Child
We believe the best learning happens when a tutor truly understands your child. That's why we help you find an expert who can get to know their learning style, pinpoint exactly where they need help, and build a genuine rapport. With our tutors, who are all background-checked and carefully selected (we only accept 1 in 8 who apply), your child gets a mentor dedicated to their success. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific goals. They might spend a session mastering comprehension techniques for the 11+, or focus on analysing key quotes from 'Macbeth' for their GCSEs. This focused attention is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we can help boost GCSE results by up to two grades. Juggling school runs, clubs, and homework is hard enough. Online tutoring fits around your family's life.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Kent 11+. Can I find a tutor with specific experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping children prepare for 11+ entrance exams. You can read tutor profiles to see their specific expertise, check reviews from other parents, and even message them before booking to discuss your child's needs for the Kent Test.
We're worried about my child achieving a Grade 5 in English at Oasis Academy. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?
Definitely. Our tutors can create a learning plan tailored specifically to the GCSE curriculum and your child's needs. They can help build confidence in areas your child finds tricky, work on exam technique, and provide the focused support that can make a real difference. In fact, we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
It’s really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. 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.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English, or can you help with other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors based on their experience, price, and availability. Every tutor has a detailed profile with a video, student reviews, and their qualifications. We recommend watching a few videos and reading reviews from other parents to get a feel for their teaching style.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s easy to use and means your child can learn safely and effectively from the comfort of home.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe hands.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can work wonders for confidence. When a child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong, they start to believe in their own abilities. This newfound confidence often extends beyond one subject and into their wider school life.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and your child. Most families find that one lesson a week is a great way to build momentum and see consistent progress, but you can discuss what works best for your schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your tutor at any time to get feedback on how your child is doing. Many tutors provide regular updates on the topics covered and the progress being made, so you're always kept in the loop.
What happens if we need to cancel a lesson?
We understand that life can be unpredictable! You can cancel or reschedule a lesson easily through the platform. Just be sure to check your tutor's individual cancellation policy, which usually requires 12 or 24 hours' notice.
