We know how much you want to see your child succeed, and in Swindon, the competition for the best A-Level places can feel intense.

This is where one-to-one support can make a real difference. An expert English tutor works in partnership with your child to build the core essay writing and analytical skills they need. Together, they can build the confidence and knowledge to help your child secure the grades that open doors to their chosen A-Levels and beyond.

Whether they're analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or crafting a persuasive essay, these abilities are exactly what top sixth forms look for, and what prestigious universities like Bristol and Bath expect from their applicants.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to study A-Levels at New College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?

Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents in Swindon. Our tutors are experienced in helping students bridge the gap between a grade 4 or 5 and the 6 or above often needed for competitive A-Level courses. They focus on exam technique, essay writing, and analytical skills to build your child's confidence and performance.

We're aiming for a place at a top university like Bristol or Bath. How can an English tutor help now?

A strong foundation in English is critical for applications to leading universities. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and communication skills that make their personal statement and future coursework stand out. They build the skills for A-Level success, which is the key to a strong university application.

What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like English?

Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from the 11+ right through to degree level, we also have tutors who can teach a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for them on Tutorful.

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

You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a short introductory chat before you book, which is a great way to see if their personality and teaching style are a good fit for your child.

How much do online English tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study, but you can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.

How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?

Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-belief, which often has a huge impact on their grades.

Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has had their ID and qualifications verified. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.

How do the online lessons actually work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a two-way interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection. It's simple and effective.

Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?

Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both and can tailor lessons to cover whichever area your child needs the most support in. You can check their profile bios to see their specific areas of expertise.

How long will my child need a tutor for?

This completely depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works for you.

What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring services?

We focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With over 4,100 customer reviews and a 4.6-star rating, we're a trusted choice for thousands of families. We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students find the support they need to succeed.
