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.

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.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

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.
