Why a Strong Grade in English is So Important for Their Future
A good grade in English isn't just a pass mark; it's the key that unlocks your child's future choices. It's often a non-negotiable requirement for A-Level courses, college places, and university applications. The skills they develop – from analysing quotes in *Macbeth* to building a persuasive argument – are skills for life. Our tutors help your child master these, giving them the confidence and ability to succeed in their exams and beyond.

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at Southend High or Westcliff High. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English paper?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience in preparing children for the 11+ entrance exams, including the papers for the CSSE (Consortium of Selective Schools in Essex). They can help your child build confidence in comprehension, creative writing, and verbal reasoning.
My child attends The King John School. Can a tutor support their specific GCSE English curriculum?
Yes. Our tutors are experienced in tailoring their support to the specific exam board and curriculum your child's school uses. They can create a plan that directly supports what your child is learning in class, from the set texts in Literature to the skills needed for Language.
How do I pick 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 also message tutors before booking to ask about their experience with the 11+ or GCSEs to ensure they're the perfect fit for your child's specific needs.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices typically range from £25 to £45 per hour, allowing you to find a brilliant, experienced tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
This is one of the most important things a tutor can do. By providing patient, one-to-one support in a friendly environment, a tutor can help your child understand tricky topics at their own pace. Celebrating small wins and building on their strengths is a fantastic way to rebuild their self-belief.
How do online lessons work?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing to make learning engaging and effective.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week is ideal for consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child and your family. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, absolutely. Most of our English tutors are experts in both and can seamlessly switch between helping your child analyse a poem for Literature and honing their writing skills for the Language paper. You can see their specific areas of expertise on their profiles.
What results can I expect?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is to help them build confidence and make real progress. We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSE students, dedicated support can help improve their results by up to two grades.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills too?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a wide range of other skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding in Python or even public speaking.
