Why Strong English Grades are Key to Your Child's Future
English is more than just another subject; it’s the foundation for so many others. The ability to analyse a complex text, structure a persuasive argument, or communicate ideas clearly is essential for essay-based A-Levels and standout university applications. Whether your child is getting to grips with quotes from 'Macbeth' or honing their creative writing, a great tutor helps them build skills for life. We know how important this is, which is why our tutors can help your child improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

Personalised English Support to Help Your Child Thrive
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That's why we are so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is an expert in their subject, background-checked, and dedicated to understanding your child's unique learning style. They'll create a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and making progress at their own pace. Imagine lessons built entirely around your child's needs. If they're finding algebra tricky in Maths, their tutor can focus on that. For English, they could spend a whole session decoding Shakespeare or mastering essay structure for their language paper. This tailored approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – it’s learning that’s designed just for them. With everything happening online in our purpose-built classroom, you can fit lessons around your family's busy schedule without any extra travel. It's simple, flexible, and effective.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
The local schools like Springvale Academy are very competitive. How can a tutor give my child an edge in English?
A one-to-one tutor can provide focused attention that isn't possible in a busy classroom. They can identify the specific areas where your child needs a boost—whether it's analytical skills for literature or persuasive writing for language—and build a targeted plan to strengthen their abilities and confidence, helping them stand out.
My child hopes to apply to the University of Birmingham. Can a tutor help with the skills needed for their application?
Absolutely. Strong communication and analytical skills are vital for competitive university applications. An English tutor can help your child refine their ability to structure arguments and write with clarity, which are essential for personal statements and future university-level essays.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask questions before you book. Think about your child's personality and learning style – finding a tutor they get on with is the key to success. You can filter by experience with specific exam boards too.
What 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 a 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 can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. As their tutor helps them grasp difficult concepts and they start seeing their own progress, their self-belief naturally grows.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find a brilliant, experienced tutor that fits your family's budget. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are from the UK and have passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every single tutor and are very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 of those who apply.
My child is struggling with GCSE English Literature. Can a tutor focus just on that?
Of course. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that every lesson is tailored to your child's exact needs. The tutor can create a plan focused entirely on the set texts, poetry, and analytical skills required for their English Literature exam.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It has a video chat function, 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 your home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour session once a week works best, as it provides consistency and allows time for your child to absorb what they've learned. However, you can arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your tutor.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour. This gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. You can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor if you feel your child would benefit from it.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning to play the guitar or piano to practical skills like coding and Python, you can find expert tutors to support your child's hobbies and passions too.
