Our tutors are here to work alongside your child, giving them the focused support they need to turn those worries into results.

English isn't just another GCSE; it's the key that unlocks your child's future choices. Strong analytical and writing skills are essential for success in many A-Level subjects, from History to Psychology. Whether they're breaking down a quote from 'Macbeth' or structuring a persuasive essay, the abilities they build in English are the same ones they'll need to thrive at competitive colleges and universities, and eventually in their career.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their heart set on BHASVIC or Worthing College. Can a tutor help them get the English grade they need?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades. They can work with your child to identify the exact skills needed to move from a grade 5/6 to a 7 or higher, focusing on the analytical depth and writing clarity that top colleges look for.
My child is at Shoreham Academy. Can a tutor help bridge the gap to what's needed for a university like Sussex?
Yes, that's a perfect goal for tutoring. A tutor can help your child develop the independent thinking and sophisticated essay-writing skills required for university-level study, ensuring they feel prepared and confident for the next step after their GCSEs.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important thing.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling judged. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help build your child's self-belief step-by-step.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, which includes identity checks and an enhanced DBS check. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts, like 'An Inspector Calls' or poetry?
Definitely. Our tutors can provide tailored support on the specific books, plays, and poems your child is studying for their exams. They can help with everything from understanding themes to analysing quotes.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best.
How often should my child have lessons?
This depends entirely on your child's needs and goals. Many students have one session a week, but you might choose more frequent lessons leading up to an exam. It's completely flexible and something you can agree on with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to public speaking.
