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.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

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.

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.
