A great grade can open the door to their chosen path, whether that's at a brilliant local college or aiming for a competitive degree at respected universities like Keele or Staffordshire.

Personalised English Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That’s why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring they are not only experts in their field but also fantastic, background-checked mentors. They’ll take the time to understand your child's unique learning style and pinpoint exactly where they need help, whether it’s with poetry analysis or exam technique. Forget one-size-fits-all classes. Every online session is tailored specifically to your child's goals. If they're finding Shakespeare difficult, their tutor will focus on that. If they need to sharpen their essay skills, that’s what they’ll work on together. It’s this focused approach that helps 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with GCSE results often improving by up to two grades. With our flexible online platform, you can find the perfect tutor for your child without worrying about travel. Lessons can be scheduled around school, clubs, and family life, making it easy to get the support they need. Join over 200,000 happy students and see why parents have rated us 4.6/5 from over 4,100 reviews.

Holly has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter, Anissa. She is patient, encouraging and explains things in a clear and supportive way.
Since starting lessons with Holly, Anissa’s confidence has grown noticeably, and she feels much more comfortable and positive in her learning. She really enjoys the sessions and speaks very warmly about Holly — she genuinely loves learning with her.

John has been an excellent English IGCSE tutor. He is very organised, enthusiastic and communicates clearly. He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them. John is helping her to build confidence, structure exam answers and prepare effectively for revision, and I feel the tutoring will be very beneficial in the run-up to her exams.

Ben D
Ben has been a great tutor for my 16 year old doing his English GCSEs. Ben's tuition has improved my son's grade from a 4 up to between a 5-8, depending on the topic, in just a few months. He has also hugely improved his confidence, and his writing ability in other subjects such as History has improved as well. Ben has a relaxed, respectful and friendly approach that my son has really gotten on with, and he is enjoying feeling more confident for his English Language and Literature exams this year. I highly recommend Ben for your child's tuition.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to King Edward VI in Stafford. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many parents in Staffordshire use our tutors to help their children meet the entry requirements for specific sixth forms and colleges. A tutor can create a focused plan to tackle the exact areas of the English curriculum your child needs to strengthen, building their skills and confidence ahead of their exams.
We're thinking ahead to universities like Keele or Staffordshire. How can an English tutor help now?
That's a great way to think. A strong GCSE English grade is the foundation for the A-Levels that universities look for. A tutor can help your child secure that grade, opening up more A-Level choices and keeping their options open for competitive university courses in the future.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find a great match on Tutorful. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a lesson to make sure you've found the perfect fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection is. That's why we have our 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.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an online English tutor in Staffordshire cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, with prices typically starting from £15 per hour. The price often reflects their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work through everything from essays to exam papers together, just as they would in person.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which helps your child feel more positive and capable in the subject.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of amazing academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language for fun, we have a tutor who can help.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which most students find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths by discussing it directly with your chosen tutor.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about their goals, what they enjoy (and don't enjoy!) about English, and identify the areas where they need the most support. It's a relaxed way to build a plan for future lessons.
Can tutoring help with specific parts of the English exam?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. If your child needs to improve their creative writing, poetry analysis, or exam timing, their tutor can create lessons that focus entirely on mastering that specific skill for exam success.
