Give Your Child Confidence: Find an Online English Tutor in Silsden
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.

Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

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.
