The Right English Support, Right When Your Child Needs It
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a real connection with your child. By understanding how your child learns best, they can adapt their methods to explain tricky concepts in a way that finally clicks. We take the guesswork out of finding a brilliant tutor. We interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, ensuring they are not only subject experts but also passionate, background-checked mentors you can trust. Every single lesson is planned around your child and their specific goals. If they're finding the verbal reasoning part of the 11+ exam daunting, their tutor can focus on targeted practice. If they're struggling to structure a GCSE essay on 'Macbeth', the session can be dedicated to breaking down the marking scheme and building arguments quote by quote. This personalised approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Finding time for extra support can be a challenge, but online tutoring makes it simple. You can connect with the perfect English tutor from anywhere in the UK, fitting lessons easily around school, clubs, and family life. With no travel required, your child can learn comfortably from home, at a time that works for you both. It’s a flexible, straightforward way to get them the help they need.

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Thamesmead and are aiming for a Bexley grammar school. Can a tutor help my child with the 11+ English paper?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have specific experience with the format of the Bexley Selection Tests. They can help your child build confidence in key areas like comprehension, vocabulary, and verbal reasoning, using practice papers and targeted exercises to get them ready for the exam.
My child is worried about their GCSE English results. Can you really help them improve?
Yes, we see fantastic progress. Our data shows that we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades. A dedicated tutor can focus on your child's specific areas of weakness, whether that's exam technique, understanding poetry, or essay writing, giving them the tools and confidence to succeed.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit is for your child's learning. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I know the tutors are qualified and safe to teach my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict selection process, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by a member of our team, and we carry out comprehensive background checks, including an enhanced DBS check, to ensure they are safe and suitable to work with children.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their experience with a specific goal, like 11+ preparation or GCSE revision, to make sure you find the perfect match.
My child lacks confidence in English. How can one-to-one tutoring help?
Confidence is often the biggest barrier to progress. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which helps build self-esteem and a more positive attitude towards the subject.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
What does a typical online English lesson look like?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a two-way video call and an interactive whiteboard. Tutors and students can share files, draw diagrams, and work through problems together in real-time. It's a collaborative and engaging way to learn from the comfort of your home.
How effective is online tutoring compared to in-person?
Online tutoring is highly effective. It gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live locally. Our interactive classroom and the ability to re-watch recorded lessons provide a rich learning experience. Over 200,000 happy students have found success with Tutorful.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn a new language, master a musical instrument like the guitar, or get to grips with a practical skill like coding, you can find experienced and passionate tutors to help them explore their interests.
How often should my child have tutoring sessions?
Most families find that a one-hour session per week is ideal for steady progress. However, this is completely flexible. You might want more frequent sessions in the run-up to an exam, or less frequent ones for general confidence building. You can discuss what's best with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you can often have your first lesson booked within 24-48 hours. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute video chat to say hello and discuss your child's goals before you commit.
