Personalised Support to Help Your Child Achieve Those Top Grades
We know how important it is to find the right person to support your child. That's why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring they are not only subject experts but also caring mentors. Your child's tutor will take the time to understand their specific learning style and where they need the most help, building a trusting relationship that helps them thrive. Every lesson is designed around your child’s needs. If they're aiming for a grade 8 in English Literature, their tutor can focus specifically on exam technique for poetry analysis. If they struggle with structuring essays for English Language, their sessions will be built around mastering that skill. This targeted approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – for GCSEs, that can even mean a two-grade jump. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your family's busy schedule. With online tutoring, you can connect with the best English tutors from across the UK, right from your home in Shifnal. Lessons can be scheduled at times that work for you, making it simple to fit extra support around school, clubs, and family life.

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a competitive sixth form near Shifnal. Can a tutor help my child get the necessary GCSE English grades?
Absolutely. Many parents in the Shifnal area use our tutors for this exact reason. Our experienced English tutors can focus specifically on the skills and exam techniques needed to turn a grade 6 or 7 into a grade 8 or 9, helping your child meet the entry requirements for competitive local sixth forms.
My child is considering applying to a Russell Group university like Birmingham. Can a tutor help with more than just GCSEs?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience supporting students with A-Levels and university applications. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills needed for their A-Level English studies and guide them in crafting a strong personal statement for universities like Birmingham.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles for each tutor, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific goals and ensure they're a great match.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is essential for learning. 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.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every 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 be sure your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can do wonders for confidence. When your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement, they start to see that they *can* understand tricky topics. These small wins build up, leading to greater self-belief in the classroom.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for each lesson.
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 a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Is Tutorful just for core subjects like English, or can you help with other skills too?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects, we also believe in learning for life. You can find tutors for a huge range of skills on Tutorful, from learning the guitar or a new language to coding in Python.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most sessions last for one hour, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You and your child can communicate with the tutor through our messaging system. Tutors often provide feedback after each session, and you can discuss your child's progress and goals at any time to ensure they're on the right track.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply use the search filters to find a tutor you like, send them a message to check their availability, and book your first session. Many of our 200,000+ happy students have found their perfect tutor in just a few minutes.
