Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
Beyond just securing a great grade, a deep understanding of English gives your child essential life skills.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to One Sixth Form College in Ipswich. Can a tutor help them achieve the necessary GCSE English grades?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific goals. They can work with your child to build the analytical and essay-writing skills needed to secure the strong GCSE English grades required by competitive sixth forms like One.
We live near Bury St Edmunds and are worried about the competition for university places at places like UEA. How can an English tutor help?
A tutor can help your child develop the advanced critical thinking and communication skills that top universities like UEA and Cambridge look for. This support goes beyond exam preparation, helping them build a strong foundation for A-Levels and craft a compelling personal statement.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask about their experience. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, as a positive relationship is key to building confidence and making progress.
How much does an online English tutor in Suffolk cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your budget.
My child has lost confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is very common, and it's where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgment. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief.
How do online lessons work? What do we need?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which has a video chat function and a shared whiteboard for working through problems together.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview every tutor to ensure they have the right experience and a passion for teaching. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that finding the right personality match is important. 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.
How effective is tutoring? Will my child's grades improve?
We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, this can be as much as two grades. While we can't guarantee a specific result, our personalised approach gives your child the focused support they need to achieve their best.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families find that one session a week works well, especially when preparing for exams. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor to create a schedule that fits your child's needs and your family's routine.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
Every session is tailored to your child. It might involve going over a tricky piece of homework, practising analytical skills using a poem or piece of prose, planning an essay structure, or working on exam techniques. Your tutor will focus on the specific areas your child needs to strengthen.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child also learn a new skill?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, your child can also learn skills like coding, a new language, or even how to play the guitar. It's all about finding their passion.
