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.

Friendly English tutor
My lessons will be structured based on the individual child to ensure that they are getting the most out of the sessions, due to my understanding that children are individuals and that one size does not fit all. My style is ensuring that children understand a concept and can then show that they can apply it to show further understanding. I ensure that children feel comfortable and encouraged while they are learning. I will focus on building a relationship in which a child is comfortable to fail and try again. I ensure that children understand that it is okay to get things wrong and that they must...

Elizabeth A
Elizabeth is awesome! —her love of English is completely infectious and she has been fantastic with my daughter.
She pre-plans and tailors each lesson to her student’s needs; her organised approach produces clarity and structure which has drawn out quality writing.
We came to her with an obscure book that’s not on the regular curriculum and Elizabeth dived straight into reading it so she could provide complete coverage!
We then discovered that Elizabeth has the incredible ability for supporting research projects (EPQ and beyond), enabling our child to work independently and develop their own thinking, without our involvement.
Our daughter is incredibly strong in her stem subjects and we wanted to ensure her writing and analysis skills would be equally developed. Elizabeth has provided exactly this—
She naturally breaks things down in a way that makes everything manageable while maintaining depth. She draws out real analytical thinking—encouraging my daughter to think more deeply, challenge ideas, and develop her own voice.
If you’re looking for a tutor who is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and has great impact, choose Elizabeth!

From the very first lesson, she showed great care and professionalism — always asking what Jason needed and preparing materials accordingly.
