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.

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.

Holly E
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.

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
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.
