It's completely understandable to feel the pressure when you want the very best for your child. In Silsden, with the 11+ for highly-regarded schools like Ermysted's and Skipton Girls' High on the horizon, it's natural to worry about whether your child has the English comprehension and verbal reasoning skills they need to shine.
Whether you're looking ahead to the 11+, or thinking about how strong GCSE English grades from a school like South Craven can open doors to A-Levels and competitive universities like Leeds, you're not alone. One-to-one online English tutoring provides a calm, focused space for your child to build skills and, just as importantly, their self-belief.

Opening Doors for Your Child with English
English is so much more than just another subject; it's the key that unlocks your child's entire education. The skills they build in English—from analysing a tricky poem to structuring a persuasive argument—are the same skills they'll use in History, Science, and beyond. A strong grasp of English gives your child the confidence to express their ideas clearly, which is vital for success. Securing a top GCSE grade can broaden their A-Level choices and strengthen their applications for the next step, whether that's college or a place at a top university.

One-to-one English Support That's Right for Your Child
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That’s why we’re so selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. All our tutors are background-checked, so you can feel completely reassured. The best tutors don't just teach a subject; they take the time to understand your child's unique learning style, their strengths, and the areas where they feel stuck, creating a genuine partnership to help them succeed. Imagine lessons planned specifically around your child's needs. If they're preparing for the 11+, a session might focus entirely on verbal reasoning techniques. If they're wrestling with 'Macbeth' for their GCSEs, their tutor can spend the whole time helping them decode Shakespeare's language. This focused, one-to-one attention is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. It helps them make real, noticeable progress, week by week. With online tutoring, you can say goodbye to rushing to and from evening lessons. You can find the perfect English tutor from anywhere in the UK and connect them with your child, right from your home in Silsden. It's simple to arrange lessons that fit around your family's schedule, giving your child expert support without adding any extra stress to your week.

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 aiming for Ermysted's Grammar School. Can a tutor help with the 11+?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They have specific experience in helping children build the verbal reasoning, comprehension, and creative writing skills needed to feel confident and prepared for the entrance exams for schools like Ermysted's and Skipton Girls' High.
We're thinking about A-Levels at South Craven and then university in Leeds. How can a tutor help with GCSE English?
A tutor can make a huge difference. For GCSEs, they can help your child master key texts, refine their essay writing, and target specific areas to turn a good grade into a great one. We know that 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs, this can increase by up to two grades, strengthening their position for A-Level choices and future university applications.
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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their approach to teaching, especially regarding your child's specific goals. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will respond to.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can find a brilliant, qualified tutor that fits within your family's budget.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
This is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child isn't afraid to ask questions or make mistakes. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild your child's self-belief step by step.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have talented tutors who teach a wide range of other skills. You can find experts in everything from coding and learning a musical instrument to public speaking and university application support.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour. We find this gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor if needed.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. The best way is to have a quick chat with your tutor. They will be happy to provide regular feedback on how your child is getting on, what they've been covering in lessons, and the progress they are making towards their goals.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, we get it. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can cancel or reschedule a lesson with your tutor, but please be mindful of their 24-hour cancellation policy, which is there to protect their time.
