English Language and Literature English English
Over the past 20 years, I have had the opportunity to develop my teaching skills, gaining valuable experience in teaching learners who need extra support to overcome barriers to achieving. I am aware of issues affecting some learners which can and have over ridden their choice and chance of participating in education. My qualifications such as BA(Hons) Degree in Education where I used Autism in the classroom as my Dissertation, Certificate in Education, L3 Awareness in ASD and L5 Adult Specialist in English , are necessary to implement resources to motivate such barriers and complex needs, including...

Antonia V
Enthusiastic and thorough English tutor
Hello, my name is Antonia and I’m a fourth year medical student at Newcastle University. I like to keep things fun in lessons, and if one way of teaching isn’t working I’m open to switch it up and find something that works for you! I like to listen to how people find it easiest to learn and adapt my style to them, for example using diagrams for visual learners and repetition and mnemonics for auditory learners. I achieved 11 9s in my GCSEs and 4 A*s at A Level, as well as placing first in my year at University in first year, so I have the academic knowledge needed to tutor in depth and thoroughly. For B...

David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to study A-Levels at Sunderland College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?

Absolutely. Many parents share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades they need for their next steps. They can focus specifically on the GCSE curriculum, helping your child master exam techniques and build a deep understanding of the subject to help them achieve a grade 6 or above.

We're hoping for a place at Durham or Newcastle University in the future. How can an English tutor help now?

That's a fantastic ambition. A strong foundation in English at GCSE is the first step. A tutor can help your child develop the critical analysis and essay-writing skills that are essential for A-Levels and are highly valued by top universities like Durham and Newcastle.

How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about what your child needs most – is it confidence with poetry, help with spelling, or exam practice? Finding a tutor whose experience matches your child's goals is a great place to start.

How much does online English tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own prices, so you can find an option that suits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden costs or complicated contracts.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right fit 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 background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

How do online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child and their tutor to focus on learning.

How can a tutor help build my child's confidence?

Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest hurdle. In a one-to-one setting, your child gets a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor's encouragement and personalised feedback can make a huge difference, helping your child feel proud of their progress.

My child struggles with analysing Shakespeare. Can a tutor help?

Definitely. This is a common challenge, and our English tutors are brilliant at making complex texts more accessible. They can break down difficult language and themes, helping your child understand the material and articulate their ideas clearly in an essay.

How quickly can we start lessons?

You can start very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can message them to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors have availability within the week, so you can get the support your child needs right away.

How long will my child need a tutor for?

This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss this with your tutor to create a plan that works for you.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like creative writing?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have tutors who can help your child explore hobbies and develop new skills, from creative writing and coding to learning the guitar or a new language.
