English isn't just another subject; it's the key that unlocks doors. Strong communication and analytical skills are essential for almost every A-Level subject and are highly valued by competitive Russell Group universities. Whether your child is breaking down quotes from 'An Inspector Calls' or mastering persuasive writing, the skills they develop in English will help them stand out and build a strong foundation for their future career.

Personalised English Support That Fits Your Child's Needs
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That’s why we’re so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Our background-checked English tutors are experts in their field and take the time to understand your child's unique learning style, their strengths, and where they need a bit more help. This creates a supportive partnership where your child feels comfortable asking questions and making progress. Every lesson is designed around your child's specific goals. If they're struggling with poetry analysis for their GCSEs, their tutor will focus on that. If they need to sharpen their essay structure for A-Levels, the session will be tailored to build that skill. This focused approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with many GCSE students improving by up to two grades. Arranging support for your child shouldn't add to your stress. With our online platform, you can find the perfect English tutor and schedule lessons at times that fit around your family's busy life.

John H
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 attends The Minster School. Can a tutor help them keep up with the high standards?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience supporting students from high-achieving schools. They can help your child manage the demanding workload, deepen their understanding of complex topics, and build the confidence to excel amongst their peers.
We're aiming for a Russell Group university like Nottingham. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes. A strong English A-Level is often a prerequisite for top universities. Our tutors can help your child develop the critical analysis and sophisticated essay-writing skills that admissions tutors at competitive universities are looking for.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and teaching style for your child.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Southwell?
Our tutors set their own prices, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor to suit your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have been identity and background checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How can tutoring help my child's confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without the fear of getting it wrong in front of a class. As they see their understanding grow and their grades improve, their self-belief and confidence often grow too.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child with GCSE English specifically?
Our tutors can provide focused support on specific areas of the GCSE curriculum, from analysing Shakespeare to mastering unseen poetry. They can help with exam technique, time management, and revision strategies to help your child feel fully prepared.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at a different pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. With consistent lessons, many parents see a boost in their child's confidence quickly, and 90% of our students achieve at least one grade higher in their exams.
Is it just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So, alongside core academic subjects like English, your child can explore hobbies and learn new skills like coding, playing the guitar, or even learning a new language.
What if our schedule changes week to week?
That's no problem. Our platform is flexible. You can book lessons as a one-off or on a regular basis. You aren't tied into any contracts, so you can schedule sessions around your family's commitments.
